Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] beginner audiophile setup?
Hey...It's all very personal mate and it does, to a degree, depend on what you are willing to spend. You didn't mention where you live and whether there is a used market for hifi ... My bedroom setup used to be sb3-->Musical Fidelity XA-1 integrated (used)--> Quad 11L speakers + vdh cables. Very nice sound! -- stedes stedes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2695 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63242 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: SB3 + MF X-DAC v3?
Hi there. I actually used my SB3 with my Quad CDP doing the DtoA conversion. The sound was much better than the SB3 analog outputs but I moved it to my bedroom as that's what was originally intended. It is running through a MF X-A1 integrated and Quad 11L speakers. I've recently bought a MF X-10D (Tube buffer) from Ebay...what a difference. Smoother sound, cleaner top end with much decreased sibilance and tighter bottom end. And the upgrade cost about 100 pounds. I don't know if you live anywhere near but you could have a listen if you want. I thought it was very good value for money. Not as good as my main cd player (MF A5) but then again...that;s not the intended purpose is it?

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Anyone using Quad 99 CDP with SB?
Hi there. Briefly used a Quad CD-P with the SB3 before it was moved to my bedroom as was originally intended. Must say that the sound was hugely different, being smoother with a less sibilant treble and tighter bass. It is expected if you think that the SB3 is essentially a 200pound router with a DAC and a screen and the CDP is a 1000 cd player with 24/192 upsampling. -- stedes stedes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2695 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21236 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Why doesn't Slim Devices create an audiophile version?
Good point although probably uneconomical. Listen to this though: Why don't you just get an external DAC...although the analog outputs sound good, I tried my SB3 with my Quad CD-P (24/192 upsampling - inputs) and it sounded much bettertighter sound and the highs were much more accurate. -- stedes stedes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2695 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19016 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Bookshelf speaker recommendations?
How about Quad 11L??? I have a pair connected to an Audible Illusions pre/Quad 909 power and they sound excellent. I love them so much that I bought another pair for the bedroom (where SB3 is used) -- stedes stedes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2695 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19023 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
