| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 Excellent review! Thanks for taking the time and effort to do it.One question. Is XA30.8 the same as XA30.5 in terms of how it operates in Class A and Class A-B? For example, into an 8 ohms load, first 30 watts of XA30.5 is in Class A mode and it ... | |
| Another DAC suggestion a step above Metrum Octave Yes, I do use a reclocker. | |
| Another DAC suggestion a step above Metrum Octave Again, thanks for the inputs guys. At the moment, it is coming down between Chord QDB76 HD and Esoteric D-05. Any comments? | |
| Another DAC suggestion a step above Metrum Octave Thanks everyone for the info. Hi Bill,What I meant is I wish Chord QuteHD comes with IEC socket that I can simply use with my aftermarket powercord. But instead, with QuteHD, I'll have to get a quality 12v linear power supply. :( When you say "som... | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? Hi Chuck,I know you mentioned INT30A bottomed out on your 1007Be. If you're looking at Diablo, would it be possible to wait until after the speaker upgrade to try out the amps, particularly XA30.5? Many people commented XA30.5 is sweetest sounding... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Hi Skywalker,Unfortunately, I'm not in SG. I'm indeed interested in Devialet though. :) With Devialet, I can convert all my various HD cables to one P4 PC and one pair of D8 speaker cables. :DI think you're in luck with what you are (or your wife ... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Hi Bacardi,I was hoping no one would say that. lol I'd really love to try P4, but the thing is one P4 is equivalent to 4 P3s. :( Besides, there're other things I'd like to add to my system at the moment (power regenerator, dj setup, symposium shel... | |
| External DAC For Oppo 105 At What Cost? Idiot? I'm not the one who asked "how much more to spend to significantly better 105 dac" and followed up with more ridiculousness. Now, someone's really having a bad day. | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? By the way, did you also change the speakers too? I remember you have 1007Be. | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? Hi Chuck,Congrats! What is your impression regarding INT-30A vs. XA100.5 (plus XP-20?)? I'll be very interested. For now, it's not in the plan to move up to XA100.5 (due to too many boxes) but who knows what future might hold. | |
| External DAC For Oppo 105 At What Cost? Ricevs, your response changes everything. Very informative and helpful. Thank you for the info.mitchRicevs' response doesn't change anything for us. It only makes you realize how ridiculous your original question was. No, I too am having a fantast... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Hi Skywalker,Make sure you give P3 a full 300 hours of break-in time. P3 sounds good right out of the bag, but after fully broken in it's a different cable altogether (you can read this thread for various break-in experience). For speaker cable, D... | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? Yes, H300 is definitely worth a look for anyone who's looking for one box solution. H300 even has a built-in dac btw, unlike H200. With Hegel claiming H300 was built from the ground up and not from H200, I'm not sure what to expect of it. To me, H... | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? To my surprise, they sound very similar. Pass combo is just more refined and has a calmer, sweeter presentation. | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? Just to update, I have had a chance to home-demo a Hegel H200 integrated in my rig for about 3 days. The unit is well broken-in and the gentleman who loaned me the unit has been using it. I didn't start the evaluation until it was in my rig for at... |
