DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system
@pickindoug  New Gustard R26... Great R2R DAC and preamp Used Musetec MH-DA005 could maybe be found for under 2k. Used RME DAC, I know people love them. Otherwise Denafrips makes good stuff in your price range (new/used)  
Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC
@milpai good to know... I feel like I've put at least that into it, but yeah I'll do some more listening.  
Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC
@bigfatpaulie  @audphile1 makes a bunch of great points. I left out the Cen D³ doesn't have I²S in if that's something that you wanted, and converts all incoming signals to DSD up to 1024 (no MQA). There might be an upgrade in the future and has... 
Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC
@blisshifi I could 100% see how a DAVE owner would love the DAC200, but I’m going to be listing mine now having the Cen D³. The T+A build quality and feature set is just incredible and in my heart of hearts wanted to keep the T+A because I really ... 
Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC
I’m really liking the Cen.Grand Deluxe DSD DAC, but hell... I LOVE my Tambaqui. I’d recommend the MMT, but the Cen D³ is excellent, and my biggest praises for it are in comparison with yet another DAC, two Intergarated amplifiers and a power ampli... 
Perlisten D12 03-00 Error Code
Okay...Success! Changing subwoofer software from v1.25 to v1.23 worked. Here’s the process Download the program STM32 and get the software ZIP file from Perlisten and follow the steps, just need a USB cable to update. https://www.st.com/en/d... 
Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II)
@painter24 appreciate the feedback. I'll mention this all to my dealer, they've been super attentive throughout the process.  
Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II)
@painter24 the "left channel drop" happened to me once while switching the DSD up conversion rate. I dropped the DSD rate down, then stepped it back up to 1024 and the left channel came back, but concerning none the less since you mentioned it an... 
Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II)
Just a loosely related add on... Presently listening to both the T+A DAC 200 and Cen.Grand DSD DAC 1.0 (CenD1) and liking the CenD1 more. Bigger sound stage front to back and side to side, detailed and extremely smooth. I like the feeling of the s... 
Perlisten D12 03-00 Error Code
Still have to try rebooting the firmware down from v1.25v to v1.23... My computer and tech support skills are marginal at best and only had a late evening to try unsuccessfully to update the sub. Perlisten is doing good hand holding thus far. Hop... 
Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house.
@rwbadley absolutely agree... I have volume set to 10.5. Perlisten did reach out and want me to software down-date to 1.23, but it’s looking to me like a bad amp module in one subwoofer. @kennyc so now having many subs, both JL and Perlisten and ... 
Perlisten D12 03-00 Error Code
So was told it was a power supply error code, but gonna try a firmware update (but backwards). Currently v1.25 most recent firmware which my subwoofers have, they want me to go back to v1.23. Don't see how power supply can be fixed by firmware, ...

@james633 Don't knock the JBL's (kidding) I have the L100 75's for my physical media system paired with the E112's. I will never let those speakers go. Also have 4309's for our family room and love them also. Huge JBL fan, honestly my speaker crus... 
Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house.
@skinzy I 100% agree that high pass filtering mains at 60hz would be too excessive and lose some of the dynamic response. I have frequently hit the on/off / bypass button and can audibly hear bass loss in my Sopras at roughly 33 to 35hz. So I co... 
Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house.
@skinzy and @james633  sadly day two not off to a good start. One sub has a "Error 03-00" message that I can't clear and power on/off unplugging etc. hasn't fixed it either. Zero clue? So sent an email to Perlisten (we'll see). If anyone has a ide...
