| Curious about older "world class" D/A converters jond -I'll add it to my list - thanks! And you know what? - it's the darn Spectral that got me going again on this whole thing. I was checking AudiogoN from my phone (for the heck of it) as I was getting up yesterday - by the time I was able to ... | |
| Curious about older "world class" D/A converters Thanks for the comments and suggestions, Erik. I appreciate it. I’ve read about the Schiit Yggyrasil and am quite intrigued.Take care, and have a wonderful weekend! | |
| Cardersound Nina's underwhelming... And let me add that the highs are there as well. I initially stated that the highs seemed muted. Well, it must've been whatever tracks I was auditioning them with, right out of the box (for me), and again and fairly low volumes: There's plenty of ... | |
| Cardersound Nina's underwhelming... This should (and will) be my last post to this thread, that I now wish I could remove in it's entirety...I titled it "Turn it up, man!" for a reason. You see, I've been listening to these things at low to medium volumes (more, than less, of my lis... | |
| Cardersound Nina's underwhelming... "And maybe *it's* just not supposed to," that is. | |
| Cardersound Nina's underwhelming... Well, sure. I suppose I thought the loading of the driver would render more bass than what I'm hearing (which is, again, very little). The EnABLe-ing process had been applied to the drivers already. Part of me wonders if replacing the drivers with... | |
| Cardersound Nina's underwhelming... You'll have to pardon my initial rant, and a hasty one it was... My expectations were (are), indeed, exactly as you describe. After listening extensively throughout the day today and into the evening, though, I'm appreciating them more and more. A... | |
| What is the best transport? A computer. | |

| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat @Bradluke0"Hate to go into this again but if you cant hear these things dont blame us that can"Ah, the Golden Ear argument comes into play. Well, I contest that if you can't measure it, it is a meaningless point to argue. And thusfar I've not seen... | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat Anything you despirately *want* to sound better *will* sound better.If you paid money for a bag of rocks that you actually think will make your interconnects perform better, they will.If you paid money for a chip to place atop your player, and bel... | |
| What started you on your audiophile journey . A friend of mine in junior high playing me Flim & The BB's "Big Notes" on the Dynaco/AR setup his father passed down to him.Ahh, those were the days. :) | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? For me, they sure are.The Squeezebox (for all the music in the house), and my laptop (for just *my* music, processed by a particular software package) out to my DAC, produce - at the *very least* - the same sound, without having to mess with sifti... | |
| DAC for 16/44 only Some folks think that upsampling - that is, adding resolution that isn't there in the first place - is ultimately to the detriment of the original content. That said, does anyone think that a NOS DAC of some sort might prove better than the V-DAC ... | |
| DAC for 16/44 only I've read your comments on this DAC in some other threads and appreciate you commenting on this one! I remember the HIFICRITIC testing. It was what pushed me in the direction of it in the first place. They said it had the lowest jitter of any devi... |
