| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k My two cents: I tried the TT2 (without the M-Scaler) vs the T+A DAC 200 in my system and preferred the T+A. The Chord was a bit lean in comparison. The Dave and Tambaqui are obviously on another level price-wise and I'm sure performance-wise. | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 Attention all T+A DAC 200 owners! It's not described in the owner's manual, but you can switch between the six different filters using the remote. I just stumbled upon how to do it today: Press F1 Press the DOWN arrow Press OK Use the LEFT... | |
| Your thoughts on best audiophile speakers in $10,000 neighborhood? As suggested earlier, prearrange demos with the dealer(s) and get to a city. I'd put together a list of speakers you'd like to demo first, perhaps drawing upon some of the suggestions here. I'm in the same boat as far as having limited lines I c... | |
| Solar Eclipse Music <<"There Goes the Sun," the track overshadowed by the more popular "Here Comes the Sun.">> @bojack if you're talking about the Pernice Brothers song, that's a great tune! "...please don't take my sunshine away." | |
| Which external SSD for music streaming? @stievus Then there's always the possibility that a particular album or artist that you love suddenly becomes unavailable on Quboz or whatever your current streaming platform of choice. Given the minimal cost of storage, I feel it doesn't hurt to ... | |
| Which external SSD for music streaming? @stievus If it's an SSD, it'll be plenty fast. Go for the 4tb. You'll likely fill it faster than you realize, especially if you begin to add hi-res files. A single SACD disk image can take up well north of a gigabyte. You may want to go for ... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 @mgrif104 and @blisshifi - It always helps hearing about other people's experiences. Thanks. <<I don’t want to sell them on an experience they may not replicate in their own home>> I very recently had a conversation about that notio... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 @mgrif104 I exclusively play digital content, almost exclusively local files. I've just recently been playing DSD content and the sound quality is definitely superior, with much greater separation of instruments and levels of detail. I wonder ho... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 @ljgm You've inspired me to try the direct DAC-to-amp connection. I'll report back once I've had the chance to A/B. I think I'll be happy no matter the result; if it sounds better with the Classé, I'll be glad for having bought it. If I prefer ... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 I rolled through the filters a few times and landed on BEZ2 as my ultimate set-it-and-forget-it choice. I had a friend’s TT2 for a while and had the chance to do a direct A/B comparison with all other variables remaining constant. The winner: T+A ... | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. @rpeluso, I immediately caught the subjective pronoun being used as an object of a preposition too. You and @bdp24 might appreciate this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc Back to the thread's topic: Call it heresy for not citi... | |
| What was your first record? A 45 of "Sky High" by Jigsaw. I'm a 21st century digital man now. I own absolutely no vinyl. | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION You may want to consider adding the Chord Hugo M-Scaler. If you can find one used, it should be reasonably close to being within your budget. | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 I recently purchased the T+A DAC 200 and I'm very happy with it. It replaced a Chord Qutest which, should be noted, is a fantastic little DAC for the money. I bought the T+A new from a local dealer (Forefront Audio in Rochester, NY; Lance, the o... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Artist: Bill Pritchard Album: Three Months, Three Weeks & Two Days From 1989, but doesn't sound dated (at least not to me). Written and performed by an ex-pat British artist, this is mostly mellow, romantic music with thoughtful lyrics and ... |
