| Qobuz still messed up I agree with Squires, look into your DNS router settings and change them to the Google 8.8.8.8 setting. This helped me 3 fold a long time ago. | |
| Standalone DAC upgrade from onboard integrated I really like my Denefrips Pontus 15 DAC and I highly recommend the Denefrips Hermes re-clocker to straighten out the signal feed from your streaming provider. Both of these units are extremely well made and you can feel this by the weight of each... | |
| Burn it Down and Start Over I would not recommend Magnepans for your room because of the volumes that you listen at. I had a pair Magnepans years ago and listened to rock music at high volumes and destroyed many ribbons of the MG-1's. My dealer wasn't happy with me at all an... | |
| Douk Pro3 VU meters fidelity loss ? mysearcher, I really don't follow you post above on your speaker wiring setup. Do I run short speaker wires to the VUpro3 and then run the long 12ft speaker wires to my tower speakers? "OR" can avoid this way of wiring ? | |
| Needing to replace thirty year old speakers. I took a gamble a few years ago and bought a pair of tower speakers that I never heard before in person. I went on a few reviews & the reputation of Dennis Murphy. These speakers can handle all types of music and are quite pleasing to the eye... | |
| Just Get A Better DAC? I have a Pontus 15 and would like to add the Hermes 15 DDC when it comes out since the 12th is sold out. Anyone have a idea when Denafrips is going to start selling this new Hermes 15th DDC ? | |
| Long Run of Speaker Cabling I agree with several others on this subject that the Canare 4S11 oxygen free cable is the way to go and make 'em up yourself with banana plugs or whatever you need. I run two 14 footers without a hiccup from my system. Performance audio in Utah ca... | |
| Do people hate Eversolo on here? Or is it liked some? Before I even bought a DAC , I did a lot of research with various company's and was very pleased with the technical response from Denefrips. Very helpful, even with my stupid questions and answered politely and to the point. The Pontus 15 is rea... | |
| Need Ideas on speaker cables I second the idea for Canare 4S11 cable from tonyrox. This cable is highly rated by many audiophiles on this site and comes at a reasonable price by the foot from Performance Audio and you can put the ends of your choice the wire or you can buy pr... | |
| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? I had a refurbished Onkyo 7030 and it was quite reliable, in fact it was from accessories4less also. Then I bought a Rotel CD-11 Tribute and prefer the sound from Ken Ishiwatas creation. Never had a problem with either CD player and their at reaso... | |
| Streamer recommendation I haven't owned that many DAC's but my end game machine that I really like now is the Denefrips Pontus 15. It is built extremely well and you can tell that by it's weight with lots of filtering inside from the ladder type system that results in a ... | |
| Wanting to upgrade my speakers I have the Lintons for my second system and really appreciate the value of them. Smooth and not overwhelming in mid & high range. I listened to the Super Lintons at Axpona when it was quiet in that particular room...really like those best of t... | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? How long of a USB cable can I use from my laptop with Quobuz loaded on there to the PONTUS 15 without signal loss or garble? | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks Are these power cords that look similar to a Audioquest etc..that you can find on eBay a bad choice or are they adequate ? | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? I agree with others here.... the question is not specific. I've been dabbling with stereo equipment for almost 50 years and the majority of the time I've had separates. The versatility of a preamp is key for me ....like when I had my McIntosh C... |
