    Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital Dac/Headphone Amp

    Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital by lizard84 posted Apr 8, 2018 at 11:59 AM I’ve had this dac a short while and will expand on my impressions as I roll up the hours of usage. I bought it based on reviews I’ve read and for its DSD and MQA capability’s. At $399 it seemed like it could be a good bridge...

    CV181-Z’s & Mullard GZ34 by lizard84 posted Feb 7, 2018 at 6:44 PM Don’t know why I waited so long but damn, worth every penny and they just came out of the box. Pre is a Modwright LS100, it’s like Jacqui Naylor is in the room looking me in the eye.

    McIntosh & Maggies

    Do they work well together in a system? I have had maggies, loved them, I have a mc7270, it have served me well. I just haven't experienced both together at the same time. I'm awaiting another set of maggies and wondered what other McIntosh owners have found.

    ifi Nano idsd 1st Impressions

    I've been enjoying my ifi Nano idsd since Wednesday and I'm been blown away by the sound. I purchased it specifically to listen to high resolution audio on an iPhone via the Onkyo HD player app as a mobile solution for high quality listening when on the road. Right now it has less then 10 hours...

    Why Not DSD64?

    Why are a lot using DSD128 vs DSD64? DSD seems to add euphoric distortion that is pleasing to the ear, one could argue much like using a tube preamp like I am using, looking at the wave forms 64 seems to have the most so why 128 or 256? Just curious, I'm still not sold on converting of PCM...

    I Love my $1299 Player...

    A little equal time for a $1299 Oppo 105D that's worth every penny.:D I bought a Oppo 105D last year and it sounds awesome! It's built like a tank and sings like a pro. It's a player, it can be a preamp. It plays CD's (the feature I use the least as I rip my CD's to SSD drives) Blu-ray...

    Changes afoot

    Out with the Maggies, loved them but the room was too small. Using Audioengine P4's speakers for now (they hit way above their weight class by the way) until my Salk's are finished in early September. 3 WOW1's and a Salk/Rythmik sub all in fiddleback walnut. Emotiva is being demoted to...

    Vincent SA-31 or Parasound 2100 Pre Amp

    Looking for a new or new to me dedicated preamp and these two are on my short list, I have done a search and found some old threads but I'm interested to see more current opinions. The Parasound 2100 is perfect in the sense that it has a HT bypass, but I've heard great things about SA-31 from...
