Hi John, Thanks for the reply. I don't have any extenders with me. So, will try once I get one. Walkzinho, You get cable extenders that are just a few inches in length which is not bad.

Hi Walkzinho I have been experiencing the exact same problem. It is definitely rWave because I then remove it and it is all fine. Mine is also a Mac book. I don't know if this is a Mac specific issue :( Mine is one of the first rWave not sure if the latest ones have an updated software that...

I think the main difference between rDac and the Neo, Uniti is that you can use rDac like a USB Dac even in the wireless mode. This means that you plug in the USB stick and it transmits wireless any sound that is generated by the computer. So, any application like your browser can stream its...

Glenmo, Currently a problem with good all in one systems are that you might only get them with DVD player in them and not a Blu Ray player. But then soon you will find more of them coming in. If you are going to pair a Blu Ray player (a good one) with Marantz CR502, you can consider...

Tarquinh, Guilty as charged. I was about to suggest Naim myself. Just providing choices and its upto them to pick.

Nic, I haven't heard the Totem Arro's. But, I was quite interested in them for their size and I was also keen on a single box system like Linn or Arcam and was planning to combine these. But, most of the places on net suggest that the Arro's are a difficult load to drive. Infact, they were...

A friend of mine upgraded from Cyrus 8SE to Marantz SA11S1 to Ayon Audio CD1 to Ayon Audio CD2 and he is extremely happy about it. Another friend of mine has the Rega Apollo and listening to Ayon Audio CD2 has decided to go for Ayon Audio 1S. Personally I would consider the Ayon Audio CD1 and...

I was searching for a second hand RS6 but landed on a GS10 for the same cost. I have heard RS6 on multiple occasions while owned the GS10. I have listened to the RS1 as well, but not the new RX series. For me, the order of liking was RS6 > GS10 > RS1. GS10 to RS1 - not much contest. I found...

Looks like you have a nice soundcard. I am not familiar with your particular soundcard. So, I cannot say if they can do justice to Quad's. But, still would say that they need a good pre and dac.

I had the Quad 12L actives. I would say they need a very good pre amp else they might sound ordinary. Infact I had them with Beresford 7510. The beresford is a couple of steps above in sound quality compared to ordinary computer headphone out, but it was still ok at best with the Quads. When I...

The Cambridge Audio NP30 seems interesting. I also came across this second hand unit from Musical Fidelity - CD Pre 24 - interestingly has - CD player, DAC, Pre with analogue inputs as well and even an Analogue to Digital convertor...

I think for a noticeable jump on sound quality you need something like this - a second hand Linn Classik Music for 359 GBP http://hifi-adverts.co.uk/secondhand/hi_fi/amplifiers/integrated_amps/1445_linn_classik___integrated_amplifier

chebby, Just an information. There is a Quad 9L Active as well and available in UK. The difference is that 9L comes with built in pre, remote and even a USB Dac and costs about 500 pounds. The size of these seems comparable to 11L as well.

Tarquinh, I had recommended iDecco over Nova for 2 reasons: 1. It has a ipod dock built in with digital out of the ipod going to a great DAC. So, definitely a plus over Nova. 2. Its cheaper than Nova and the main difference between them is the power 80W vs 50W. Given that he would not use the...

I am myself interested in this DAC/Pre + Active route. I had the Quad 12L Actives. I have not seen much talk about Peachtree Audio. I had the Nova. I would recommend the iDecco though - cheaper and can take digital out of ipod. This would give you DAC/Dock/Pre/Power. The power section is not...
