Well you said Chord is the only DAC that 'operates at 768kHz' which is almost as nonsense as demoing DACs through YouTube.

What are a few examples of bang for buck speakers that can be powered by tt2 alone? Budget 1.5k max, I don't mind buying used.

I was using Dynaudio excite 12’s directly driven off my TT2 for around six months, they are under your budget, and worked very well.

i mean only chord dacs perfectly recover the original bandwidth limited analogue signal. other filters make a mess of transient timing. my OP even if poorly expressed emphasises the unique nature by which chord dacs handle the digital to analogue process. this is firmly set in stone as the universal laws of physics dictate. fine tuning does not reside here.

Hi, just curious, what usually volume you use for listening with this Dyn? Thanks

Around -10 normally, turned it up to 0 now and then with no distortion at all.

Are you using xlr balanced pins or SE ones ?

that's great, still plenty of headroom then

What can be the reason of sibilance of Bartok evident in every video ? And the sibilance is not just a tiny bit but literally unbearable.

Noise floor modulation.

Probably helps if you give the posters an idea of the room size as well.

The best speaker under £1500 is the KEF R3. Although it only goes to 50Hz at the bottom end.

However if you can find used speakers from someone you trust, then you can get more for you money.

I can't take you seriously when you mention high end gear and YouTube in the same paragraph.

I recommend you try a pair of Fyne Audio F501 floorstanding speakers.
They are more sensitive than the KEFs at 90 dB. They are between £1100 - £1200 and sound really great for that price. I have a pair in a second system.
I received my TT2 last week and would love to try this myself.
I don't have the adapters needed yet though.

Edit: last week.

XLR’s.Here are my homemade XLR to speaker cables.

Are Canton Ergo 102 DC at 89dB within range to drive from TT2 without going Paul2Qute?

My bad, I quoted a wrong spec there.

KEF R3 - from their website:
FREQUENCY RANGE

38Hz-50kHz (-6dB)

TYPICAL IN-ROOM BASS RESPONSE

30Hz (-6dB)


FREQUENCY RESPONSE

58Hz-28kHz (±3dB)


By the way, I forgot all about floorstanders. I always default to standmounts at the moment.

But which xlr pins are you using ? 2 and 3 ?
