| Lifespan of amps and preamps? Well, I was in a similar situation until last Fall (October 2019). Bottom line, I ended up upgrading important components and my sound is TONS better; I would encourage you to do the same. I bought my stereo back in 1992 and did not change anythi... | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? Another happy user of RME ADI-2 DAC FS newest generation here. "End game" for me. Especially (important point) with balanced XLR cables (to my MF M6si integrated). For balanced connection make sure to adjust DAC's reference level to +1 (see a lot ... | |

| Add an external DAC. Make my Oppo UDP-205 a true top player Happy RME ADI-2 DAC FS user here. Upgraded from internal Bluesound Node 2i' DAC. Now playing Node 2i and my old CP player through the external DAC via digital cables. And balanced XLR interconnects from the DAC to good amp. I am not considering an... | |
| Thinking of buying a pair of Splendor D7.2... I have MF M6si and absolutely love it!I was considering Spendor 7.2 but auditioned them and was disappointed with underwhelming bass performance compared to my KEFs. So I am back to my KEFs 104/2 and I am loving them again. However, from that audi... | |
| Streaming jw944ts"Lossy" refers to music files like mp3 which discard some details from the encoded soundwaves to save space. These files are 5 times smaller than FLAC files which are lossless, and which sound better on recordings which have a lot of import... | |
| Seeking recommendations for DAC to amplifier balanced XLR cable @magneto340 I would go with Mogami Gold. I am using Sommer Epilogue (imported from Germany) and I am very happy. Good quality XLR balanced cables should all be the same, I think. No reason to pay for exotic cables. | |

| My system is where I want it be and it sounds awesome... Congratulations! You can go back to music for years to come :-)(I am too done with upgrades for a while) | |
| Seeking recommendations for DAC to amplifier balanced XLR cable @tomic601 It would not be easy as balanced has 2 signal wires. At this point I don't believe it would make a difference, anyway. I feel it's time to go back to music and stop upgrading for a while :-) It all sounds wonderful now. Amplifier and DAC... | |
| A Top DAC RME ADI-2 not on Darko's list? Listening to it right now, and I am not even interested in listening to others. Time to listen to music :-) | |
| Seeking recommendations for DAC to amplifier balanced XLR cable In this case, the less expensive (but balanced) is not just equal but preferable (albeit very slightly). Will be selling the rest | |
| Seeking recommendations for DAC to amplifier balanced XLR cable ... which suggests that spending any more than about $100 per pair is a waste of money. Possibly Mogami Gold would similarly be indistinguishable from the Sommer I am using | |
| Speaker cable recommendations in my budget AQ Type-4 or CV-8 on Music Direct's closeout. I have CV-8 which I clearly preferred to Blue Jeans, but possible Type-4 would do the job just as well and cheaper. | |
| Seeking recommendations for DAC to amplifier balanced XLR cable After 4 more weeks with Sommer Epilogue XLR we compared it to Audioquest Colorado RCA which I had been using previously. Please not that we are not comparing apples to apples because Sommer is balanced. Finding number 1: the two cables are pretty ... |
