| EMM LABS XDS1- VERSIION FOUR EMM Labs is excellent about supporting existing gear well into the future. To me, that's a big plus when shopping for what will likely end up being a long term resident in my system. | |
| Seeking Recommendations for a Streamer (No DAC) I will echo what has already been said, take a look at Lumin with the U2 Mini. It's a great unit and you can upgrade the PSU with various options at different prices. | |
| epiphany in the high-end listening room... Good choice, Canton gets overlooked by a lot of people, or at least in my area that seems to be the case. Excellent speakers. | |
| Japanese cable brands Hijiri and Acrolink look great. Always wanted to give them a try but never had the opportunity yet. Tiglon is a new one for me, I like the look of their higher models in particular. I might have to give that White Tiger LAN cable a try at some poi... | |
| Speaker hunt -> To leave or not Leave Martin Logan Behind A friend of mine was a big ML fan for many years. He moved up the ladder until he eventually had I believe the ESL12A or something like that, maybe one step down from your 15A (ML products mostly look the same to me so hard to remember). They soun... | |
| Why aren’t BNC jacks common? I love BNC. Recently got rid of my streaming transport which was an Auralic Aries G2.2, since Auralic went out of business I figured it was time to move on. The inclusion of BNC was a factor I looked for when checking out new devices. Not a deal b... | |
| SW1X II balanced DAC I've heard a few models in their range. They have a really unique and interesting sound. I'm no reviewer so it's hard to explain. The lower models seem pretty fairly priced, the higher models get expensive but seems appropriate for what you get. ... | |
| USB cable recommendations @signaforce I was lucky to get the Pink Faun USB second hand for a crazy good price. I recommend finding a dealer who will let you borrow some products or else buy and return with minimal/no fee. Or, the smaller internet direct brands like Verit... | |
| USB cable recommendations My recent USB experiments involved Clarus Crimson, Crystal Cable Diamond, Audience Frontrow, Pink Faun, Veritas Audax, and a Chord Company Shawline. I liked the Veritas Cables Audax and the Pink Faun USB better than all the rest, with the Verita... | |
| Hegel Viking sound I've never known Hegel to be particularly bright. Maybe a burn in issue? Bad match with cables? | |
| Schiit Mimir impressions? I plan to pick up a Mimir for a little setup I'm building. It seems like a great value, nothing else I can think of has all those features and pedigree for such a great price. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found They sent out an update today talking about necessary price increases. I knew silver had gone up but not that much! If my portfolio had some exposure I'd probably be selling right now. If any cable brand claims to use pure silver and hasn't incr... | |
| McIntosh C2800 recovery mode – my experience and excellent support from McIntosh Say what you will about McIntosh when it comes to sound quality (people have strong opinions in both directions), but this is exactly the kind of service that keeps people coming back. I hope that whatever happens during the frequent mergers and a... | |
| Ikigai Audio Sugure Digital Cables They look like well designed, high quality cables. I'm sure they perform at a high level. Don't know if I see anything there justifying such extreme prices, but value is always in the eye of the beholder. | |
| Anyone here using or has tried a Torus TOT MIni or Max? The Tot series is quality. I agree it makes more sense to just get the Max and have that full capacity just in case. For a similar price I would also look at the Keces IQRP series. Balanced transformer based conditioners with great performance. T... |
