| Help Match Cables To Gear Please If you’re just getting started on cables check out Canare for speaker cable and interconnects. Is there better... yes there is but it’s going to cost a lot to embarrass Canare and actually you won’t as it’s a very good neutral cable and does nothi... | |
| Best CD player under $2000 Just buy a Cambridge transport since you already have a nice DAC. If you need a universal player then Oppo’s are very good. I have a Cambridge 851C and an Oppo UDP 205 and the Cambridge is better but it’s only a Redbook player where the Oppo does ... | |
| Audio Research LS 2 prices What people are asking and getting are two different things. eBay asking prices are nuts on all vintage audio. Check actual sales completed and not asking prices. My guess if it’s a LS2 it’s $8-900 and maybe LS2B $1-1100 and it better be mint with... | |
| New Aragon 8008 or Pass Labs XA25 ?? Unless the newer Aragon’s are much better than the old the Pass is a much more refined amp with finesse but still control. The earlier Aragon’s were great amps for the money but I always felt they sounded like a big amp and didn’t disappear but dr... | |
| BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high) @oddiofyl You will be surprised how much better the RME is over your Vault... it’s not even close but it’s only going to be as good as the cables you use. Right out the box the RME sounded great. RME claims changing the power supply will not make ... | |
| Long run balanced interconnects Best just try and hear what you think. Agree go from preamp to amp. This length and much longer is done all the time in studios and live events. I like Canare. Here’s a link but you’ll need to buy two as it’s for a single on the link. For $70 it’s... | |
| BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high) I use a Nordost Silver Shadow between my Bluesound Vault 2 or Cambridge 851C to the RME. Great cable and they are still available new at a pretty decent discount. I’m very happy with it.https://www.musicdirect.com/cables/nordost-silver-shadow-digi... | |
| Upgrading Aerial Acoustics Model 7T Surely the staff here must know the ads on the 7T’s are bogus so why don’t they pull them? I’m also always checking for 7T’s and these ads have been up forever. Life’s too short to hold a grudge so hopefully this person will move on. | |
| Good Entry-Level DAC True a DAC does not extract information out of a recording anymore than a preamp or an amp does, but a DAC does have an analog output I believe? Wouldn’t one agree better preamps and amplifiers that have a lower noise floor pass more information t... | |
| BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high) Isn’t digital out on the streamer a fixed signal, meaning there’s no volume control? | |
| BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high) Probably need to go into output level settings and make adjustments. This video should help you.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=enZD40j-kjI | |
| BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high) @prashanth13485If you’re not using a separate preamp then you want to keep volume control active or on. I read through your post too quick and missed you’re feeding it to an amp directly. Since you are bypassing the DAC in your Node and going digi... | |
| BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high) I have volume out on my RME set to fix, and all the tone control, EQ and etc. turned off. I’m running mine as a straight out DAC. | |
| Good Entry-Level DAC The idea that DAC’s don’t get better but only a different sound is just like saying there’s no difference between preamps and amps. Can only speak on the current RME ADI-2 fs to the DAC in my Bluesound Vault 2 and DAC inputs on my Oppo UDP 205 and... | |
| Good Entry-Level DAC RME ADI-2 fs DAC. Music I thought I knew well, I’m hearing information I have never heard before. New can be had for $1099. The RME is hands down better than my Cambridge 851C which is a respectable deck, so it should be just as noticeable on your... |
