I think a onkyo tx-nr809 would do the job. I've been using B&W and Onkyo for many years because, in my opinion, they both mix very well.

Hi When I order my Primare I saw that "Optional Media i/o module (in development)". I wish they make something as good as middle/high quality DAC. I will keep waiting a few more months to decide if I go for a good DAC or to Primare optional Media i/o module. Let's wait and see how good it is...

Hi dio Thank you for your sugestions. Not easy to find decent information, in English, about "Casea Capheus". Anyway, I did some reading and both, Casea Capheus and Audionemesis, are not what I'm looking for. Once again, thank you. It's always nice to know about new products. be happy

Hi, Pete Thank you all the advices. Be happy!

Once more, thank you for all the input. If I'm turning into a bug, please ignore me. I did more readings about the DACs mentioned by you. I see me going around QB-9 despite the USB limitation (unless USB disappears in next years, this is not a problem for me). I plan to keep it, if it is as...

peteAllen:I would add the Weiss DAC2 to that list, and the PS Audio PWD (currently on offer ex-dem). Hi Peter. Thank you for your input. I know Weiss's gear reputation (I meant, I've been reading a lot about weiss Dac 2 and Dac 202 (they look the same??). People say great things about Weiss's...

Thank you, w2s I said that about the RAM but I know nothing about MACs. I had PC all my life. In a PC with 4 gigas of RAM, windows 7 and Foobar2000&Asio4all it works fine with little adjustments, even 24/192. I never played 24/192 for long. I only have a few tracks (free tracks I download...

Hi w2s Once again, thank you for your input. I'm glad to know that a Dac like W4S has such capacities. I had no idea. My list is getting shorter. W4S Dac2 and Ayre QB-9 are at the top (despite the price gap between these two). For now, I will be playing with CA DacMagic. In 3 or 4 months I...

w2s: Re: SQ and value it gets a big fat 10 out of 10 from me...Having had some other Dacs in the past + A Rega Saturn CDP which were all great IMHO...But the W4S Dac2 is definitely a step up from all of them. Hi w2s I know rega CDP, Apollo SE and Saturn. Are you saying that W4S DAC2 is as...

All good BenLaw. You're trying to help. Thank you!

Hi all I did a break on W4S DAC2 and Ayre QB-9 readings and have been busy with Antelope Zodiac + (black box). I'm impressed. No matter where do you read, only good things are said. But, when I see these guys gear (amps, speakers, cables...) I think my bottom doubts remains in my mind. Do my...

Hi I want to connect DAC to PC with USB and DAC to Amp with balanced XLR (USB and XLR cables will be another problem. so many prices levels and brands). I read a lot about W4S Dac2 (it looks good but it seams no one really knows it). Some even say it is not that good. Now, I've been reading...

Hi all. I looked for "Chord QBD76", BenLaw. It looks very good but a little expensive. I didnït remove Brekley Alfa from my original post but I have hold horses, canït go that far for a DAC. I think that around ? 2700 will be my roof. Like I said before, I only wish I could find a good mach...

Hi everyone First of all, I want to thank you all. THANK YOU! Do you know "Ayre Acoustics QB-9"??? I know the price. I really want something good but not something my amp & speaks don't justify. I guess my big problem is to know the balance Speakers + among Amp + DAC. To be honest, I will buy...

Hi all I know the “best…” is very subjective but this is me trying to find out what would be the best DAC options to connect an Audio PC (with AEC CD’s and HD flac files) to my Primare i32. The speakers are Proac Studio 140 with QED Sig. Revelation cables. I’ve been reading a lot about DAC...
