    Denafrips Arce Streamer Review

    I have a Lumin U2 and a Terminator II 12th. Would love to sell the U2 if the Arce (…so many other names they could have chosen…) receives updates to fix the above mentioned issues. I’ll follow this thread.

    Coming Soon: High End Balanced Interconnect Shootout: Odin 2, Valhalla 2, AQ Dragon, Stealth Sakra V17LE, Ansuz D2 & more?

    Slight update here. I’ve had to deal with both a wedding and funeral in the past couple weeks so my more in depth update to my original post will have to wait a bit longer. I did do some more extensive listening with several different friends and one of them brought over his Echole speaker...

    Coming Soon: High End Balanced Interconnect Shootout: Odin 2, Valhalla 2, AQ Dragon, Stealth Sakra V17LE, Ansuz D2 & more?

    Happy to include any cables folks want to send me. The Cable Co recommended Siltech Royal Double Crown and Synergistic SRX. I’d love to try some Siltech.

    Coming Soon: High End Balanced Interconnect Shootout: Odin 2, Valhalla 2, AQ Dragon, Stealth Sakra V17LE, Ansuz D2 & more?

    Why am I posting this? I have been a long time forum lurker and have gotten loads of helpful information over the years from reviews, threads, DM's and real-life interactions with people I've met in the audio hobby/industry. I've been wanting to give back a little and actually write a review or...

    What's the best way to discover new music?

    I subscribe to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Qobuz. I use their music discovery features like Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist and peruse the other playlists curated manually by the streaming services and also those AI-generated based on my history. Each service is different and has...

    Our Move From Sigma to Omega on the Shunyata Everest

    Full loom of Albedo signal cables or are you replacing the Shunyata power cables, too?

    Our Move From Sigma to Omega on the Shunyata Everest

    Oh, I also meant to say I called Shunyata yesterday for advice on power cables in an all Shunyata system. They said if you’re using an Everest with Omega XC, that using more Omega QR or QR-S cables downstream was not recommended because the filtering in those power cords were duplicative of what...

    Our Move From Sigma to Omega on the Shunyata Everest

    thanks! I actually purchased a Denali 6000Tv2 and Sigma XC for my headphone system which is a Pathos Inpol Ear, Denafrips Terminator II 12th, Lumin U2, Focal Utopias w Danacable Nirvana. However, I’m using Nordost Valhalla 2 power (plugged into the Denali) and IC’s. I actually enjoyed what it...

    What other power cables are you using and what’s the rest of your system like?

    DAC Options

    I vote a Denafrips Terminator II 12th or Terminator II Plus / 12th if you can get it for that price. I have a black Terminator II 12th in my headphone system and an MSB Ref in my primary. I had an MSB Premier before the Ref, so have experience with multiple MSB models. I have compared the Dena...

    Lumin x1: still a good idea to buy in 2023?

    I just got a U2 for my secondary system and it’s fantastic. Personally, I’d wait for the successor to the X1 which will include the newer compute module and a feature refresh. These things are computers and the X1 is about to be an old model. My advice is just wait a little and get the new one...

    Sonus Faber Lilium vs Focal Scala V2

    I absolutely love my Scala V2. They are very detailed and well built. With the right setup, can be very holographic and immersive. I also have the Diablo Utopias.

    Sonus Faber Lilium vs Focal Scala V2

    I haven’t heard the Sonus Faber but I own a pair of the Focal Scala Utopia V2. I would assume it sounds drastically different from an SF because of the Beryllium tweeter. Have you heard these two speakers yourself? Can you describe the rest of your system?

    MSB Select Digital Director and Westminster Lab upgrade dc cables : The throne of MSB Select DAC secured!

    It’s amazing that DC power cables like this can make a difference and are also worth that price. I’d love to hear them sometime. I have a Ref DAC.

    Bill, thanks so much for a great post! I can’t wait to make the move and be closer to some family and a little bit more affordable houses. I grew up in Florida so the hot summers won’t be too bad on me. I’ve been spoiled with LA weather though. Looking forward to connecting with everyone!

    Hey all! I’m the one moving to Austin from LA (thanks for the thread, Ron!). Ron has been amazingly kind to me in the short time we have known each other. I am really excited and will be living in the Domain area for a year or so while I get a lay of the land and before I buy a home.

    Millennials, Please Check In!

    Yes, I think Ron’s goal is to get a better understanding of the demographic so he can help improve the site. I’m generally curious as to others’ responses as well. You chimed in early on and seem to be a regular poster here.

    Thanks for your reply, Folsom. Would love to read a reply from you to the OP’s question in thread-starting post if you’re a millennial.

    Millennials, Please Check In!

    I was born in 1982, turning 38 next month and apparently am a millennial according to Wikipedia. I don’t resonate with the definition (other than the year range apparently) of one however. I typically see a millennial as the know-it-all complaining-about-lack-of-jobs and swamped-in-college-debt...
