I’m looking at the Teac 701T to feed into my Esoteric NX05XD. But this unit only has a coax output I was under the impression that AES has always been superior. Should this be a deciding factor? I think for the money this transport looks like a winner except that it’s missing a AES output...

That is one of the most reasonable and logic responses I’ve seen in a while. At this price level, it honestly makes total sense, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to borrow either of them. so I’m treading into the waters pretty deep and thoroughly.

Thank you for the responses everyone. Without being able to compare the two it’s gonna be hard for me to decide. The Shunyata seems to be king on the Ethernet end vs everyone else. Where I have read people who compared the two like the wire world for its realism and more organic sound vs...

Sorry to add another post. I’m looking at a Shunyata Alpha V2 vs WW Platinum silver one. Have you ever had the opportunity to compare the two. I’m looking for something clear, transparent almost analytical. I want to hear every drop of detail going into my esoteric streamer and dac.

What cable are you running from your NAS to the router? I was thinking of running my starlight (red one) from my mini to the router, and the platinum from my router to my streamer over the starlight. Thanks

Thank you for that extensive reply. It’s greatly appreciated.. I’m purely a metal head and I quite like my system open airy and transparent. I like picking out every detail so I’m thinking I’m gonna be very happy with this set up.. all Siltech for cables except my ethernet cable, which is a...

I have this unit on order upgrading from a Moon 390 into a 760A power amp. Out of curiosity the felt feet that come with has anyone tried carbon fiber feet or racks vs the felt alone. For those that have heard it or own it what are your thoughts about it with hours on it. I haven’t heard a...

Good day all, I’m looking to move my Moon 390 probably for a Hegel P20 or 30 if I can pitch it. It will be matted up with the Moon 760A and will pick up a lumin D3. I’m looking for that open transparency sound I miss from my Bryson BP26. I don’t think the Bryson and moon would pair well...

I’m down to a Bryston BR20 and a used power amp on Canuck or 700i V1 simaudio, and a LUMIN transport D2 or T1 on the used market. I know no one has heard the BR20 but from what we know of Bryston it will be good (there saying there best yet and truly balanced and quiet). It has the BDA3 and...

I had a mini running into a Bryston Dac prior. I’m looking at a D2 and a Sugden ia-4 intergrated. I have Roon running on my iMac as before, this set up would work using the balanced out into a older amp? If I’m understanding right the D2 has a built in dac

Had to sell my Bryston 4B3, BDA3 and BP26 along with my lumin U1 with sbooster. Will be looking for a fix shortly and have a line on a simaudio 340iX and 280D streamer dac with Mind module. Anyone have experience with this line. I’ve heard only good things, and I myself have to be realistic...

Lumin mini with sbooster via Siltech golden ridge 2 AES into a Bryston BDA3. If I put this Siltech cable on a new bryston CD3 which one would win for straight up sound quality. Thanks

Morning all anyone have a chance to compare Robin Hood vs William tell. I picked up Robin Hood as it fit my budget but of course left wondering if I should have held off for the William tell at 3X the price almost.

With the future bringing in more home time I’m looking for my next logical upgrade. Bryston BP26, BDA3, 4B3, focal 1027BE, Lumin mini U1. Crystal cable micro between the dac and power amp, piccolo for speaker entry point for the line. Siltech golden ridge 2 AES between the lumin and Dac. Im...

Hi folks I’m looking for a cheaper transport as I’ll use my bryston BDA3 as a Dac. Looking for suggestions please and thanks
