Without his recommendation I would have paid an unnecessary amount of money for a product that clearly was overpriced. So this kind of "advices" or maybe sharing just one link from someone who genuinely care to help (I mean he even searched for the exchange rates to ARS!) for us in places we...

Yeah, and not for the anxious people (unless you have the money🤷‍♀️) but this is the start of my journey, I'm 41, I have a lot of time to explore it, and exercise my patience along the way it's a win-win situation, hehe. Thanks again for everything All the best

Well, this thursday I was the luckiest man on earth! Last time I told you @ThisIsJimmy that I bought the Topping EX5 form aprox $89.000ARS. I made the purchase last Friday. Yesterday it arrived. Not only it was delivered 10 minutes before I left work so I could play with it all day, but the...

Hi @ThisIsJimmy after a lot of doubts and thinking, I finally went with the Topping you suggested. Bought it fron Shenzen at aproximately $89.000 ARS which compared to the $174.000 for the S2 Digital or $90.000ARS for the ifi nano, seemed to be worth it. Now let's hope everything is ok with the...

Well I hope it was that easy, @ThisIsJimmy The exchange rate is 1USD= 102ARS, which would make the Topping cost $35.700 so far so good. BUT there's a 65% tax when you purchase in USD, so the actual exchange rate is 1USD=169ARS, and now the DAC is 59150. There's also a 50% customs tax which...

Hi @ThisIsJimmy Thanks for the response! Actually I never listen with headphones. I thought a better dac would improve the detail, but maybe I'm wrong and in order to make it better I should replace other component or maybe I need a fortune to do it and I have to wait (meaning give up, heheh)...

Thank you very much for the tips!!

Thanks for you reply and advice. According to the reviews I saw and read, I thought that maybe there could be an improvement in soundstage and detail by changing the DAC. Regarding speakers or amp honestly I don't know what to look for, because I don't know what are the specs that would make a...

Hi everyone, I've been reading reviews and watching videos regarding both DACs, and I can't decide. Both seem to be very good for the price. Currently I have a Dragonfly Cobalt, from my PC to a Yamaha AX369 connected to a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitor V7. I use Roon and I like MQA. From the...

Hi, thanks for the reply, I found the Nait on an article from Apr 2020 to be listed as 1980 USD...here it's above 400.000 ARS which would trasnfer to nearly 5000 USD, and my salary is a little above 15% of that, so they're not an option for me right now. BUT I found that there are some speakers...

We've come to the point of singing EVERY piece of guitar solo, SOmetimes I feel it's too much, but it seems the artists like it, and there's no way a show could be experienced as a mere "listener" here. So the crowd feels the need to be an extra member of the band as if they were on stage.

Hi, thanks for the welcome! It's a small 3mts x 2.8mts office by 3mts height. And the budget is kind of tricky, but could be around 700 USD. Keep in mind here in Argentina a Dragonfly Cobalt is 560 USD and a pair of KEF Q150, 700 so price is something we have to look for very carefully since...

Hi everybody, I'm new to the forum so I hope I'm not posting in the wrong category. My name is Gustavo I'm from Argentina and this lockdown (63 days so far...) made me think about my set up. Currently I have a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitors v7 on Isoacoustics ISO-155, hooked up to a Yamaha...
