| Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it? Klaus introduced a new 2 chassis stereo power amp at Axpona. Around 6500. He is really excited about it as he has been working on it for 5 years. Sounded good in a quick demo. | |
| T+A DAC 200 Burn-in Not sure if your CJ monos have balanced inputs but try to use them if you can. The Dac 200 is a balanced design and I am having excellent results using an Iconoclast UPOCC Gen 2 cable. I also recently installed the HDMI card and getting DSD from ... | |
| Puritan PSM156 Been enjoying mine for a couple of years. Had a previous Coda integrated plugged in. never noticed any change/softening in dynamics. Currently have a couple of Laiv Ganm monos and seems to be working perfectly. Was just at Axpona and noticed they... | |
| Axpona 2026 -- comments anyone? I was there all 3 days which you will need if you want to hit all the rooms and revisit the ones you like. Great show as always. Early Friday and after 1pm on Sunday to have some time with the big boys. Saturdays can be a little overwhelming. ... | |
| Jay's rooms almost done - getting nervous Sure Jays rooms will look better once he has them treated and treatments on the windows but to me look like something out of the 90’s. He certainly could have built or trimmed out the ceilings that would have helped with deflections while giving i... | |
| Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC I ran my M3 with an EtherRegen and a LHY 2 clock. Nice bump in sq. I since have upgraded to a T+A Dac 200 and an Antipodes streamer/server but the Bricasti is a nice piece for the money. Great customer support. Little pain in the ass to update as... | |
| DAC recommendations under $7K Sorry late to the party. M3 is a good Dac as I had one for about a year. The integrated network card is the weak link. Great company. They pick up the phone. Upgraded to a T+A Dac 200 and it’s in a whole nother league. You can also junk your pre... | |
| Went to the dark side Congrats on your Gold note. I had one when they first came out. Always listenable with out fatigue. The thing with digital is that you will be getting the upgrade itch every 18 months or so till you find what you really like. Digital deprecate... | |
| SACD Player vs SACD Transport to use the D. Bob a/k/a Digital Breakout Box @yyzsantabarbara Thanks for the info I know you cycle thru a lot of equipment and value your thoughts!! | |
| SACD Player vs SACD Transport to use the D. Bob a/k/a Digital Breakout Box @yyzsantabarbara so I take it you are using the network card in the Meitner? How do files sound thru the USB media input? May be something I am interested in as the volume control looks pretty awesome. Bet it would sound great going to these La... | |
| SACD Player vs SACD Transport to use the D. Bob a/k/a Digital Breakout Box How does the MA3i compare to your Imersiv D-1? My dealer raves about the recently updated MA3i compared to the MA3 which I thought was a toss-up SQ wise with the T+A Dac 200. Not familiar with the Imersiv but pretty impressive specs especially w... | |
| SACD Player vs SACD Transport to use the D. Bob a/k/a Digital Breakout Box I use my Oppo 103 over HDMI into a T+A Dac 200.Works perfect. Would definitely try to avoid the BOB. Just another box and set of cords you really don’t need. Unless you are going to go with a high quality SACD transport all these universal players... | |
| Is Jay making a mistake? Amazing sound room being created He finished drywall stage in one of the rooms and not sure how he is going to get rid of a tremendous amount of echo. I built a purpose blt room and had virtually no echo when finished at the drywall stage. He should have blt in some deflection i... | |
| AGD Tempo / Burson Timekeeper Voyager max edition Sold my Coda CSIB and bought the GanM monos. More detail and sweetness and same grunt. The main reason is wanted to run directly from My T_A Dac 200 analog preamp. I had the first version of the Tempo Di Gan. No comparison in any way. That was ab... | |
