Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
Hello Folks,I hope you are all well and good.I agree with uberwaltz.  As I maybe mentioned,  I have a Kleos and it deserves better.  I have a JC3+ and it works well with the Kleos and my Classe CP500 preamp.  On the other hand,  as a temporary sol... 
Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
Mine was pretty much on song straight out of the box.  Although as I said earlier I did let it run for a while(maybe and hour?) before listening seriously.  Might have gotten a bit fuller in the mids after 20 hours or so, I don't recall for sure. ... 
Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
Hey Bondmanp,I too now have an equalizer.  I bought the Loki from Schiit and put it in the tape monitor loop so it can be completely out of the path.  I use it when background listening at low volume.  Inexpensive and works well although I would l... 
Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
Hey Folks,The DAC+ is doing well and is wonderful.I am spinning vinyl through it as I write this.  It sounds surprisingly good.  I am not sure what caused the constricted sound the first time I tried the MC phono input (analog input set to MC Phon... 
Classe Audio rises again
@jnovak As you may realize, even if the difference is inaudible some would not consider the 800 because of the IC(s). Myself included. I would worry that they might be lazy/cost cutting in other areas. That quality of gear should have discrete cir... 
Classe Audio rises again
As mentioned elsewhere in these forums,  I have a CP-500 preamp and a CA-2200 power amp.  Really like them.  The CP-500 with all its ins and outs, including balanced on XLR and a tape loop, and neutral as in full sound is quite wonderful.I am not ...

Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
Folks,I have many sources so using the DAC+ as a preamp will not work for me.The CP-500 has numerous inputs, both RCA and XLR and several outputs as well. And I think I mentioned it sounds really good and has a tape loop. The control functions are... 
Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
@erik_squires Hi resolution audio is still better.@shadorne The CP-500 sounds really good and I cannot afford to replace it with something that might be better.  Remember, newer is not necessarily better.  Also the interface and I/O compliment are... 
Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
Hey Folks,One of you pm'ed me asking for more thoughts on the DAC+.  I have now listened to MQA files and streams and SACD's converted to PCM by the OPPO 105 as well as more 16/44.1 material.   As I somewhat alluded to, the real eye opener is how ... 
Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
"Christmas comes early!!!"Indeed.  Preliminary listen shows more extended and cleaner/more detailed high end and cleaner bass along with more detail top to bottom.  Not sure I knew I could still hear that much on top.  But don't be thinking it's b... 
Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
Supposedly on the white truck for delivery today.  I will let it reach room temp and then run it for a couple of hours before really listening.Parsec XLR cables give more weight than the low cost Analysis Plus RCAs they replaced.  Also apparently ...

RE: Suggestions for Tidal Streaming problems caused by Internet Connection Problems
Hey Group,Any update on this?  Mine has been good until a few nights ago and I did get some buffering.  I am using an Ethernet cable to a Airport Extreme which is cabled via Ethernet to my Comcast router.  I am on Comcast Business class but in a r...

@djohnson54,"I understand your confusion about the "@" syntax but this is a convention that Audiogon uses too. Typing @ when you're replying to another responder (instead of the OP) in the thread pops up a list of everyone in the current threa...
