Jazzhd Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hi pompon, Very nice setup that you have ! I forgot to mention that my lower and is done with 2 JLAudio F112, amazing subwoofer. My 3 other channels are powered with Parasound Halo A21. Again, you have a fantastic setup. Pierre Link to comment
pompon Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hello Jazzhd, JL audio make a very good subwoofers. I have looked them before take the decision to get the Rel's. Parasound look very nice. You have plenty of juice with that! For power amp, I use ClassDAudio SDS470c (one 4 channels and one 2 channels). I am looking for Linn's power amp for a "possibility" to upgrade my actual amps. I need something not too big and run pretty cold because my room is a bedroom (no clim). But I need to listening one of their amp at home in my installation to figure if they a real upgrade or just a side move. But we deviate from the subject ... lol I have in order mini-xlr to xlr cable. My Exasound E28 is a mini-xlr connectors. My friend don't want build cables with mini-xlr ... it's too tiny ! I am curious to know how E38 sound compared to E28 but almost no one report listening impression. Eric Link to comment
Jazzhd Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hi Pompon, If you want to test your sub, play the track "Regular Pleasure" from the album "Verse" from Patricia Barber. The bass drum on that track is a big test for a Sub to play it "musically". Not all the Sub can play accurately and musically that punch. The beauty with Parasound A21 is that the frist approximate 10 Watts are in pure class A, so for the Tweeter and upper mid it is almost always in Class A. Of course the downside is that idle state consume some energy. Concerning mini xlr, you can buy those from the company "Laird". The model I have is: SD TA3F, 7 foot and SD TA3F 5 foot, well build and good price. On the Exasound site, you can see a review from Kal Rubinson here: https://www.stereophile.com/content/music-round-85-nimitra-exasound-baetis-roon Go to that link to see the main improvements from the Exasound new DAC, using the Sabre 9028. https://www.audiostream.com/content/exasound-audio-design-e32-dac Pierre Link to comment

Not all the Subs can reproduce accurately this track. Have fun ! Link to comment

Even with a VPN and american IP ..... But $15 isn't bad. It's the freight. And I rather download it if possible. As I dont use CD's. But seems not an option. I actually bought the album Nightclub from HD tracks last year at $12. Link to comment

LX521 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I am using a Merging HAPI with premium cards and love the superb sonics. My business partner is using a minDSP U_DAC8 and it also sounds very good. Amazing bang for buck. Link to comment

LX521 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Just the Hapi A/D through the Merging ASIO driver. Works perfectly with Acourate. hvbias 1 Link to comment
