| Audio room floor question Thanks all! Based on your feed back I think I will leave well enough alone. I was hoping to avoid installing a wood floor but was willing to try it out if other's found it beneficial. Enjoy the interaction this forum provides, and this thread in p... | |
| Putting together first system... clueless. What is the sensitivity and impedance of the omens? There are many high quality integrateds in your price range. Many come up used on AG. Do you require seperate amp/pre? | |
| Audio room floor question Don't mean to steal thread however I have a similar situation. Concrete floor currently covered by carpet and pad. Considering covering concrete with plywood floor. Have considered 2 options for this. 1) Lay plywood directly on concrete; 2) Lay pl... | |
| Esoteric MG 10 vs Magnepan 1.7 Been on vacation so late to respond. I have listened to both the 1.7s and the MG-10s at the same dealership. They both represent excellent value, however quite different in presentation. I own the MG-10s, liking the transparency, quickness and dyn... | |
| DAC for entry level system The problem for me has been to find a quality DAC that has 2 coaxial SPDIF inputs. I don't like using Toslink optical. As 'quality' is budget dependent, and given that you have a nice system , what are you willing to spend on a DAC? Are you willin... | |
| Do I need a DAC? Oscarrr, I have enjoyed this thread as I have many friends considering the same. You have garnished a great deal of input, most of which I agree.1)Driving a DAC with the AE via SPDIF would be an improvement.2)A computer playing WAV or AIFF quality... | |
| Looking to get started. please help I agree with Tonyangel, It is all about how the speakers sound in your environment. Given that you are outfitting a family room as apposed to an audio room, it comes down to flexibility in speaker placement and room treatment. Have you heard the T... | |
| DAC for entry level system It seems to me that you are looking for a DAC that will serve both the Arcam and the Squeesbox, and therefore looking for 2 SPDIF inputs. Is this true? | |
| Looking to get started. please help You did well buying the NAD 326. IMHO, more than the power difference, the fact that the 326 has sub out and PRE/amp that can be separated justifies it over the 316. Speakers contribute most to the character of a sound system. Many people putting ... | |
| Do I need a DAC? Oscarr, you have a great entry level system in the making. The express represents the weak link. A DAC would serve as an upgrade. The PS audio digital link III is often found used on this site for ~$350. Good DAC at that price, especially when avo... | |
| Which headphones?? I am using AKG 701s (~$250) with an Music Hall amp ($400 retail). Great sound for the $$$. The MH amp is a hybrid design, has 2 inputs, 2 headphone outputs, and can serve as a preamp. | |
| New CD player or new external DAC ? +1 Marakaentz. If I had a chance to get the BDA-1 new discounted as a demo form a dealer I would jump on it. | |
| Upgrade Help: CDP or DAC It likely that most of the perceived brightness is coming from the relatively inexpensive internal DAC built into the 5004 ($350 retail I believe). The analogue output stage likely also contributes. A newer sub $700 externalDAC can improve on this... | |
| Dedicated line w/ upgraded parts or power cond? I would start by adding dedicated power line. Actually 2 -3 if possible. One for amp/pre, one for digital. As Elizabeth stated, your existing line may serve as a dedicated. | |
