| Balance control. Discuss. Opps! Should of said could use one. Hard to use one that you dont have. | |
| Balance control. Discuss. My pre doesnt have a balance control. There are times when I would use it to correct for a recordings image position within soundstage. | |
| Please help a rookie; 8-year-old laptop music serv +1 Mapman. In the long run you will be most happy. Are you using the BDA-1? This is a great DAC however the usb input is there for convenience. I use a USB/SPDIF converter. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in DAC's these days? I am wondering if any of the sub $1000 class DACs are any better than the M1, different maybe, but better? Especially when using a USB/SPDIF converter. | |
| Looking for a small, good receiver I own an Onkyo Receiver that is 1/2 width, 8Wx4Hx~10D. Nice little 18wpc receiver. Use it to drive 8ohm, 88dB Celestion F10 speakers. Can find then on Ebay. They came with remote when new, often sold used without. Go for ~$90 w/o remote. | |
| Universal player or DAC? I think it depends on how important the video and SACD playback is to you. It might very well be that using the CD player as a transport into the Schiit DAC might be better than the BDP-103 for CD only playback. However this is something I dont k... | |

| Starting out Audiophile separates? If you are willing to purchase used, I think you can put something together for the $1000. Watch the classifieds here an AG and dont be afraid to ask questions of the sellers. Pay attention to their feedback. You will need a processor and 5 chann... | |
| Dorm room audio Buy used Pioneer PL12D on Ebay. Great vintage TT, well built. With new belt and cartridge (Audio Technica 95E) makes a great starter table for ~$150.The use of powered speakers for a dorm setting is a good idea. However, another approach might be ... | |
| amps,pre amps HELP There is more than one way to assemble a system. In your case you have gone from source to sink. No problem there. Now it seems you have a compatible match in a TT and amplification but have run out of budget (other post). As Paraneer states, matc... | |
| If you started from scratch - what would you do? Replace the integrated. Continue to explore DACs having proper inputs for your anticipated needs. I use a disk player and have a computer as a server. Run both through the same DAC. Amplification technology is very mature. An integrated amp can ho... | |
| new to this What do you have as a budget for speakers and amplification (integrated + phonostage)? Were you considering the RA-1520 as a new or used unit? | |
| RUNNING POWERED SPEAKERS FROM AN IMAC +1 Lak. The use of an outboard DAC would make for a significant sonic improvement over the headphone jack output. At $129 new the AQ is one of the least expensive. | |
