Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone can help. You'll have to forgive any stupid questions posed by myself as although keen, I am a hifi novice (well actualy not a novice, but my relationship with hifi isn't always a commited one!)
Anyhow, back to the point. I've recently (about 100hours of listening time ago) bought a CA Dacmagic2 which I have connected to my laptop via the USB port, to my amp (NAD 3020i) via Chord crimson interconnects, and finally to my Mission 752 freedoms via QED silver anniversary speaker cable. I'm listening to 16bit FLACS.
Most of the music I listen to ranges from a bit of eva cassidy to radiohead with a bit of hard house dance thrown in for good measure. It is with dance music that my system has a problem.
The bass seems to lag behind the rest of the music, out of time if you will, almost as if it can't keep up with the pace! This simply cannot continue as it's making listening to such music intollerably dull and laboured!! Someone help, is it my amp (which I appreciate is perhaps a little long in the tooth), or perhpas the dacmagic? Frustratingly, I no longer have a cd player available to test whether its one of these two.
Any ideas?
