Lumin A1 or T1
Ciamarasound replied to thyname's topic in Networking, Networked Audio, and Streaming
If you prefer a more analog sound, the T1 and A1 are fantastic options. The T1 had a recent price drop that puts it at $4,000, which imo makes it a much more competitive product. I feel the performance difference between the T1 and D1 absolutely justifies the added expense of the T1 over the D1 w/ Sbooster BOTW power supply. -
World's most accurate DAC? Mola Mola
Ciamarasound replied to barrows's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
GTT is the US distributor. They should have all the latest info on its US release, as well as where you can obtain one locally. http://www.gttaudio.com/Home.html -
Light Harmonic Labs: can this company stay viable?
Ciamarasound replied to PorkChop's topic in General Forum
Also, can anyone comment on their relationship with Tesla? Did they actually provide the audio system for the Model S? My understanding is that a number of manufacturers like Mark Levinson have used lucrative automotive contracts to leverage their high-end audio components business, so I'm wondering if LH Labs is attempting to do the same. -

They sure did, yet t people kept giving them money despite their track record. -

That's unfortunate you feel this way. The Audioengine folks are really great people and certainly had nothing to do with how LH Labs ran their business. -
I'd definitely only bolt them to speakers and not a component. This will allow you to play around with the positioning under a component and tweak them to your liking.

I used JRMC for years and now I'm strictly Roon and haven't looked back. It's by far the best user experience available.

Recommendations on new Dac?
Ciamarasound replied to Nolasooner56's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
M2Tech EVO DAC Two Plus is a solid DAC at under $1K and can be further improved with the addition of the EVO Clock and Power Supply. -
There once was a Mac app called Caffeine...
Ciamarasound replied to AudioDoctor's topic in General Forum
If I recall, InsomniaX was another OSX app that would force your Mac to stay awake. I haven't needed to use it for awhile, but I remember it worked well and was unobtrusive. -
New Ayre 8 series DAC
Ciamarasound replied to bluebeat's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
No problem. The 8 Series aesthetic reminds me of the Musical Fidelity M Series. I personally don't mind the look and have always appreciated Ayre's clean front panel. I'm also curious as to how this will stack up performance-wise to the AX-5, which I personally own and is my gold standard for integrated amps. Since Ayre has always been very consistent with the performance of their lines, I imagine both of these new pieces will compete with just about anything near and probably above their price points. -
New Ayre 8 series DAC
Ciamarasound replied to bluebeat's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
The 8 series will fit into their product range below the new 5 series, taking the place of the discontinued 9 and 7 series and the older 5 series products. The price range of the 8 series is planned to be between $2500 - $8000 US Retail. The first two products which are showing in Munich are the AX-8 integrated amplifier (with digital inputs including streaming) and the QX-8 digital hub (also with streaming) and like all Ayre components, they will be hand-built in Boulder, CO. Here are the initial specs and descriptions http://ciamara.com/new-ayre-8-series-components-coming-fall/
