    DAC suggestions (Old or New)

    If OP really wanted to save money, don't buy Schiit product at all, and this is based on personal experience. Recommendation for iFi Nano is superb though.

    You asked here at What-HiFi so definitely all will tell you to get the Creek. *lol*

    Marantz PM8005?

    I owned the Marantz Pearl Lite KI, which I believe is the previous gen of PM8005. Having tested few others amp including Roksan Kandy K2, Rega Brio R, Audiolab 8200, and even Hegel H80, with my speaker KEF LS50 I think Marantz give the best result, synergy and I'm enjoying it the most compared...

    Explain DACs to me please

    Thanks brother. I can only assume that the comment "rubbish" only means that he/she can't afford to buy the expensive DAC, or he/she can't understand English well. I thought I'm the minority here as English is not my first language. :)

    Explain DACs to me please

    Cheap DAC for those who can't afford and expensive are DAC for those who are rich. When you can't afford it, cheap ones will definitely sounds good to you, but if you are rich, the cheap ones will sounds unbearable to your ears.

    Which DAC?

    This. I owned the MyDac before upgrading to Mytek 192 DAC but MyDac is definitely an awesome product.

    Q acoustics c 20, b&w 685s2 or kefls50??

    I owned both LS50 and Concept 20, and auditioned 685s2 for quite a lengthy session. With your amplification my personal recommendation is Concept 20 as I prefer Concept 20 by far compared to 685s2, but with better amplification the LS50 is the way to go, but again that is my personal...

    New Amp For Kef R700 Speakers

    To each his own. Doesn't mean that when you can't hear any difference between DAC, all other people can't hear it too. If you are happy with mediocre DAC in certain amp + DAC combo then just enjoy it.

    KEF LS50 disappointment :(

    Don't think I can move it, but maybe with super extra force I might able to move it but not with minimum force. Maybe I'm assembling all the joints with extra force, it seems very solid to me. As Vladimir wrote, I do fill the pillar with sand to make it firm and heavy. Sorry if I'm using the...

    KEF LS50 disappointment :(

    I'm using Sanus SF30 with my LS50 but I didn't notice any movement; just performing well and better each and every day. :)

    What matches with KEF LS50?

    I'm using my LS50 with Marantz Pearl Lite KI, and getting superb result with it, but I think the model has been discontinued. If you have any interest you might wanna look at Marantz PM8005 that replaced the Pearl Lite KI. And for all the reply/comment about you should getting another speaker...

    Starter - Rega RP1 or RP6 instead

    Hi greg, Thank you for the reply. To be honest, I haven't bought anything yet, still undecided on which one to buy..lol Your point on saving money in the long run is one of the reason I'm thinking of RP6, but as other's have pointed, unlike you, I don't even have a single LP to begin with, so...
