Congrats please take some pics tonight :D :baseballbat:

I have a little something for myself I decided to plunge and go for my rDAC 1 week and a day ahead of time*. The Naim Nait XS is next on my list.

congratulations callas your patience has been rewarded and like aces said we know it's going to be a late night for you i wouldn't be able to sleep until that jewel was set up and rocking:rock:

CONGRATS on your upgrades!

Nice going man!! I see you pulled the trigger on the Integra!!!! I know your speakers will be happy! Let me know how you like it once you get it all hooked up and calibrated.

I have a picture of my new toy :D Sorry for Hijacking your Thread Steve :p

Congrats Steviana! Don't forget how to plead your case to the wifey regarding the speaker wires:cool: Get that and the X22 then you're all set.

Thanks Jason, really apprciate. :)

That Dac looks familiar.....

I think he should upgrade the X16 to the Focus 110 :p

Are they the same Sean? ;)

So do your speakers dumb ass mimic!:p:rolleyes: BTW, you 2 tools are welcome for the rDAC recommendation!:rolleyes::rolleyes:

It's getting replaced by the naim unitiserve and dac. I'm trading my bordeux sapphires for the blue ones Tyler has. I must have everything you do Rhett :rolleyes:

Hell yes they are! :shrug:

Why in the hell do you think I asked you if you liked it?

You think I can trust the guy you are copying all the time :p

I am thankful for that recommendation to you and Sean, I had to verify your statement about it so I turned to Sean and asked if he liked his rDAC :p

:shrug: You speak nonsense just like Rhett

If you say so, but seriously I like it I mean it's much better than what I had, which was nothing, I will rip those CD and put them on my PC.

Glad you like. Now buy some Totem element/wind speakers! NOW!

Speaking of non Sense, I do not have the budget to try to compete with you, I would need something like an Octave v70 to get those Metal or Wind Designs going, I would have to get myself a Naim DAC. This would cost me both arms and both legs, I would have to remortgage my condo. :p

ok, I have it setup, I have it next to the TV stand on the floor, TT is not connected, and the Xbox's are not connected... but thats OK, Don't play much anymore anyways.


SO FAR, it sounds great, but it seems like I have to turn it up louder then I should be to get to the volume I want it at.

What is louder than expected? I mean to gain 3 db over the Sony you need to have double the wattage. What is the problem? I am sure it drives more current.

awesome Oliver, that is a sweet looking DAC...


CONGRATS

IM at 52.5 and its only at conversation level...... I thought it would be busting my ear drums.

Thanks Steve, I really appreciate it's sound so far i am breaking this thing in .

The db configuration on that Receiver is not the same as your Sony, numb nuts! Besides, you need to run the audyssey(if not done yet) and further level match with an SPL meter:rolleyes:

Your talking about -52.5? That's really quite, TURN UP THE VOLUME and see what it can do! Congrats on the receiver BTW!:rock:

Thanks guys.... that is what I like about this site over others, its more like a family

Listening to Sting right now... WOW, it sounds so sweet. Delicate and much fuller sounding..... Much more musical sounding then the Sony... Warmer and the Tinny sound has vanished.

audyssey is run, its the first thing I did.


wife approved the purchase of the speaker cable at BB.... audioquest here we come...

HEHE Sweet, glad you enjoy it Steve, I liked the sound of that 50.2 with the Sttaf, I had not problem recommending you to listen to thse AVR. I am sure your dealer felt the same way about Integra.

Now I want to see a pic :p

How much has the bass improved over the Sony? Your new receiver should be able to drive the bottom end of those Dyn's a lot better. Have you tried using Audyssey while listening to music yet? What do you think of it?

What can I say.... I am a horrible influence and you :D

yeah..... youre the worst.

hold on, let me see if I can find the wife camera... mind you, its just the way it is for right now tho,.....

Yes, but with audyssey engaged, it plays the sub, Unless I go an manually change it. so in direct, the bass is a little better, but Im listening to Sting, so I will have to check out Kings Of Leon and Star Tracks... Let me play those.

Hold on.

Star Tracks has SO MUCH MORE slam in the 2nd track then the Sony did....WOW, its sounds more like the Naim XS, not quite as much slam as the XS and 220 MK1, but it as some good slam to the speakers now.... WOW


They sound like small subwoofers.... I LOVE THIS RECEIVER

OMG that's it now he has a Naim XS :rofl:

I am just so excited about you having that new Integra :D

No, not quite, but you should hear the bass that this thing puts into the speakers..... its incredible. Even the delicate bass is thicker sounding. and the slamming bass.... well... its not the Focus series type bass, but it hits pretty damn good.

Thanks Olivier

Im really excited also.

Congrats on the rDAC, that is cool man... up until about 2 days ago, I didn't even know that was something you were thinking about.

Congrats, thats is AWESOME for YOU.
