That makes perfect sense, thanks for your input. Any thoughts on M-DAC vs U-05 dilemma? If they costed the same (which they do on Amazon), which one would you pick?

Hello! Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but I can find no other way of contacting you directly :) A question for you: how come you picked Pioneer U-05 over Audiolab M-DAC? I'm currently thinking about a new DAC to go with A7x and considering to get one of those two, but can't decide one way or...

Which ones did you have in mind? Could you give an example?

Good day everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my current DAC (Cambridge Audio DacMagic, the original one, without the preamp). Like the subject says, my speakers are Adam A7x and I'm using them in for nearfield listening (not mixing) on my PC. Here are the things I'd like to get from a new DAC: -...

Just a quick update - after thinking about it for days, I ended up buying Adam A7Xs and IsoAcoustics ISO-L8R155 table stands (recommended by IsoAcoustics as an optimal choice for those speakers, out of all of their table stands). Now I just have to wait for everything to arrive, which should...

Nice office you have, good sir! :) Well then, I guess I'll try to grab A7Xs for a test and see what works best in my environment. Since I'm shelling out money, might aswell put some effort into finding a setup which would please me completely. A5Xs are already 85% there... it remains to be seen...

Hey, thanks for your input so far, I really appreciate it :) I am indeed using the original CA DacMagic, the one with no volume control, which can be connected to the sound source via USB or optical/coaxial. USB connection is limited to 48 kHz though, so that's why I'm using optical. The way I...

Good day! I'm looking to upgrade my small home hi-fi system by replacing my current setup with a pair of active speakers. I'm using my PC as the main audio source and my sitting distance from the speakers is about 80-100 centimeters (2.5-3 feet). This is why I'm going down the nearfield route...

Just a small update. After a long and painful hassle with various room treatment options and speaker positioning, I simply didn't manage to get rid of boomy bass of Dali Zensor 3s. Luckly, I have a close friend and different business partners in various music shops so I managed to test...

Okay so I managed to get my hands on a pair of stands. After putting the Zensor 3s on them, I can definitely hear a big difference in the way the system sounds. I snapped a couple of photos of the current setup so please do share your comments. I'm especially interested to hear your comments...

Fair enough, point taken. I'm based in Croatia. Which explains my less-than-ideal use of english, to some extent... :)

I suppose my next order of business is to mount the Zensor 3s on stands and move the table (my sitting position, in other words) away from them. If that's gonna work in terms of sound quality, I'll get a different (narrower) table and have speakers placed behind the table on stands. Luckly, a...

Yeah, it is indeed a bit complicated, but I bought the system when I was living in a different house, with a different room configuration :) Now I see no point in selling the components or financial sense in purchasing everything from scratch. I did try a pair of active speakers, Tannoy Reveal...

Good day, I'm upgrading the speakers of my small HiFi system. They will be used on my PC table, on the left and right side of the monitor, with me sitting about 80 centimeters to 1 meter (about 3 feet) away. I'm using my PC as the audio source. The PC is connected to Cambridge Audio DAC Magic...
