| Music first or sound first? For critical listening SQ is a big factor. Now that my ears have been spoiled with a fairly good rig I cant even listen to some of my old favorite songs that are fair to poor recordings. I think better systems bring out the best in good recordings... | |
| Let's Talk DAC's @desperado915 you might want to check into Keces LPS. They offer units with 2 outputs with a variety of voltage settings. I just picked up the P6 to replace my BS Node 2i sps plus I can replace the wart on my J2 with the 2nd output. I tired the... | |
| Let's Talk DAC's Excuse this sidetrack, but does anyone know why "report this" in blue text was put on my last post here? If I broke a rule, I wasnt aware. Cant find any admin contact to ask. Thanks. | |
| Let's Talk DAC's Chuckhoness.. I hope you didnt pay $600.00 for the J2. Its $250.00 USD on Geshelli home site. Yes, it can be upgraded a bit, but $600.00 looks very high. I got the the J2 to bypass my Bluesound Node 2i internal dac. Its better, but Im not so sur... | |
| DACs with switchable high/low gain (output) settings Geshelli J2 dac has 3 position gain control. Several very good reviews on YT on this dac for its price. Cheap Audio Man is one. I had very good customer service from them. A mom pop team in FL. | |
| Let's Talk DAC's A review of the most DACs in one post from a long time audiophile is "dacs that Ive had in my system" by jjss49. Sorry, dont know how to post link. | |
| LPS for Node 2i. Acopian? Notlistening, PD finally did reply, but cost over $100 + $43 for shipping to US. Dont know where you found different. Between PDs cost and their slow response I went with LHY $95 with tax, free shipping,, extended return time, quick replys from v... | |
| LPS for Node 2i. Acopian? Thanks marco1. I still havent heard back from PD Creative after a week and 2 emails. I tired another brand of an upgrade board for the Node 2i and that didnt workout so I guess Ill go with LHY board, but leaning toward Acopian LPS as hilde45 used. | |
| LPS for Node 2i. Acopian? Hilde45 nice gear! Did you build the Q diffusers? Is that a new listening room in progress? I am gald to see your using an Acopian. Which filter upgrade board did you use for your Node / Node 2i? I may have to go with the LHY. At least theyve be... | |
| Gustard R26 - good but not the one R26 or Pontus now Cutest in running. I stream Qobuz on BS Node2i w Geshelli J2 dac. I like the Node 2i 's Bluos app and overall sound is good. This is my 1st streamer and dac. My quality recorded lps sound much better. My ears are use to analog... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Thank you jjss49 for such an informative post. Im way out of your league in DACs, but happy you use Magi 1.7i s as I do. You mentioned direct connect to amp if gain control exists. Does anyone know if it is safe to connect my Geshelli J2 DAC wit... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? I don't know about Sound by Sanders, but if you don't mind used, I picked up my Magnepan 1.7i s for $1,300. They were only 1 year old and just broken in. Planars have a long breakin period. As per my previous post, seems like horns and planars a... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? Like the poster about 4 channels giving best soundstage, this is cheating too. So Im using my Carver c4000 from 1980. It has Bob Carvers "magical" function of Sonic Holography. Ive heard sounds from far left and right of speakers that are scarey, ... | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? Ive always said, if stranded on an island and had one band's music to chose, it would be Beatles. I know more about them than I need to know and they are one of the few bands where I enjoy every song on every album, minus a few. So, I guess Im a h... | |
| Can a system sound too Holographic? I get wanting a home system to have the clarity and dynamics of live music, but it is rare to hear a live concert that sounds great unless in a specifically designed music venue. Ive been to more concerts than not that are boomy, too echoy, etc. ... |
