    You need to experiment,. I'm very happy!!!

    I've been using my Logitech squeezebox as my music streaming device since I setup my audio room almost 2 years ago. i have made various tweaks and updates over that time, but for some reason I didn't mess around with my player (the Squeezebox). I had some time last night and decided to try my...

    Am I crazy? EEMinimax/EF6/HE6 vs CLAS/ALO Continental/LCD2r1...the second is my favorite.

    I am starting to think that I don't exactly have golden ears here...I prefer my transportable rig to my main one.  Really, I listen to my transportable a lot more simply because I can carry it around the house, but now I just A/Bed the two systems and plugged both headphones into the HE6 and I...

    Headphones + amp + DAC ~$2500

    I started with a pair of ATH-AD700's about three years ago, added a FiiO E7 last year, and then grabbed a pair of AHD2000's in June. Now I'm looking to invest a bit more money into this.   My computer is my source. Output options are USB, coax, or optical from my onboard sound. Depending on...

    Best DAC from $1500 to $2500 (or so) Can anything beat the Eastern Electric Minimax?

    I currently have an eastern electric minimax dace with a mullard tube in it as well has a musical fidelity v-link asynchronous usb->spdif feeding it.  From what I've read the EE seems like a giant killer (especially with the MF v-link feeding it).  My question is, how much would I have to spend...

    Anyone try Lars Audio USB to COAX/SPDIF/OPTICAL 24/192 converter?

    Saw this on ebay, and decided to buy it last night. Was thinking of going with the Musical Fidelity 192 but the $400 price is rather steep for a converter, imho.    For a quarter of the price, with shipping, I thought this was a great deal for converting those higher quality files. ...

    Metrum octave vs new Rega DAC vs Eastern electric

    I currently have an EE minimax (non-plus version), but have become increasingly interested in the Metrum and Rega DACs recently as a potential replacement. What are people's opinions on this? Would either of these DACs truly be an upgrade? I listen to all redbook, so oversampling isn't an issue...
