It seems like you should run it out of a computer then or get the components separately. I have the Gain Cell DAC/Preamp and might be picking up the S300 integrated for my new stereo build, and that could be a winner for you at around the same price with a better amp section. I don't personally...

I appreciate the personal and direct responses. Honestly, because my review time was only a week, I didn't get into a rhythm with the unit, which would probably had led to exactly a scenario like you mentioned, where I used to App instead of the remote. I just was so focused on the sound that I...

Ok so here are my impressions of the Exogal Comet Plus DAC, lent generously to me by Todd from TTVJ. In general, the Comet is fairly feature heavy. Having a remote, multiple types of inputs/outputs, an integrated hp amp, and bluetooth antenna is a lot in the DAC world, especially because this...

What I meant by shouty was exactly that. "forward in the mid-treble". It's not that detail retrieval in the system was weak because it was quite the opposite, however I felt that there were issues with volume balance in that frequency range. Those ranges seemed louder than normal while at the...

I was pleasantly surprised to see how it all turned out. I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry to pack up and get out there, or else I'd have brought all my gear. I echo the sentiments that it was nice to have a more intimate time with the gear in a home environment and a smaller selection (But...

I used my LCD-3 with it. I found the Gumby/Mjolnir 2 combination to sound better than the rag/ygg, but I suspect that ygg/mjolnir would have sounded the best. Rag sounded shouty to me in comparison.

Everyone took pictures of the same stuff lol. It really reveals the priorities of the attendees. I had a good time, and I was surprised about how little I felt like I accomplished in the hours we were there. About halfway done is my estimate. It was fun to chat with @Mshenay , @Army-Firedawg...

The K1000's and the Denon's were from Alex, who is fatcat on this forum

Power conditioners piqued my interest from that the most since I've had ground loops in my home before, especially when I have a few components going at once.

No promises, but I might have a set of Sony Qualia Q010 from my family if I can get them down here from DC quickly enough. Stay tuned. Nice catch with the mx4. How did you enter?

I'll first say thank you to Todd for the ability to participate in this loaner program and try out a set of products I had only read about for awhile, but wanted to try. Chord Mojo and Poly Review TL;DR will be in BOLD for easy reading. General Mindset) I think it's best to preface...

You can officially update my gear to the stuff in my sig. I won't be changing it at this point

Yeah. I got my Vmoda m80s from Drew almost 7 years ago. I also have a silver dragon cable for my LCD3. There is also audio advice about 15-20 minutes driving time from Moon audio that has a ton of headphones and even more speakers. They have always been nice to me, so if the appointment with...

I've only heard B&W speakers before. They are really nice, but I am not sure they deserve their price

It takes longer than 2 1/2 hours to drive to the triangle from myrtle beach. Usually closer to 3 1/2 hours. There are tons of things for women to do if she has her own car. Public transportation isn't really much of a thing here, so uber or a rental would be necessary.
