Up for sale is a Masterbuilt Ultra RCA pair of interconnects (1 meter). This is the end-game cable. I found on my digital rig putting these between my DAC and preamp was as astounding of a system upgrade as upgrading previous source gear. The last pair of Ultra interconnects that was listed that...
You should check out AudioNet. With an 18k budget you could get used AudioNet Amp monos and have money to spare on some very nice stuff. I used to run the APL DSD SR Mk II DAC with an Innuos Zenith SE server. It was pure liquid digital with detail to match.
In this price point the Rockna Wave light might be good for you. They also have a matching server (maybe not out yet) that would be a big step up from a Mac Mini.
I also know someone who might be selling their Phison PD2SE, which is what I have been running for years.
Hey guys!
A new job came which is causing me to relocate. I am approaching move-in and have some questions beforehand to hopefully get things organized before I set up my audio rig. The room is about 14'6" by 24' with a drop ceiling. The ceiling is about 7'6". I'm debating on removing the drop...
It is a dedicated room. I actually got incredible results toeing in the speakers a out an inch and a half and moving the subs. Still working on it. Once I get that ideal I will mark the setup and try the long wall with treatments behind the listening location.
Previously I had a much larger room and the Nearfield Acoustic 18 speakers thrived. I don't expect to get these in a much bigger room as fast as I was expecting so will likely end up selling to get something more reasonable... I love the dynamics and punch of the Pipedreams but fear some of the...
I have been super curious a out Euphony and plan to test it out in the next couple weeks. Wish I could find some videos on setup, library management, HQ Player integration and how to use it with a CD Ripper.
Hi guys!
I use to have a VAC Signature Mk II and loved it to death. I'm giving thought to two pres on the used market due to cost constrictions.
Any opinions on the VAC Beta preamp or the VAC Ren V vs the Signature MK II? I doubt I can go wrong with either but unfortunately I cannot demo them...
I'm hoping I can convince him to trade a good phono for some of my gear... We shall see! That being said, anyone have an extra phono that is great for low output moving coil? hahahaha... ahem... hohohoho
Hi guys,
I am curious if anyone has listened or has impressions of the High Emotion Audio Labs speakers. The Pipedreams are some of my favorite speakers I have ever heard but I haven't found much on their smaller speakers. Very curious.
Best regards,

Hey, Mike, I am going to be in Mexico for work more than likely while you have the DCS. If interested maybe I could send you the Phison gear and you can tell me what you think. The new amp board is insane so I'd also like to compare to the class D one you have.
I have a few people I could have write about their impressions but they are not on the thread. I have yet to have someone listen to the most recent gear who hasn't really enjoyed it.
A ton of comments I haven't gone through yet but the Phison gear, not only the DAC but also the amps offer upgrades whenever Sonny figures out how to make them better.
Hi everyone,
Any thoughts on the new Mac Mini? I'm considering building a server. Wondering if this would be good for the application and superior to the old one or a normal NUC.
Best regards,
Stephen
