My speakers are NX-Otica's with triple threat OB subs from gr research. I have a SMC TLC2 gt 24 preamp being built and a SMC DNA.5 GT24 amplifier. The amplifier is single ended but the Pramp has XLR inputs. I think my budget is around 4K for a DAC. I don't mind purchasing used. I have been looking at Denafrips, Musetec, and Mojo Audio, Holo Audio. So many choices for DAC's and still need a way to stream other than a computer.
Fiber is Coming to my neighborhood
I just talked to a At&t Technician in our neighborhood and he said they are bringing fiber very soon. I hope this improves my internet I have cox cable out several times a year working on my internet from cox. The internet seems to very on my computer when surfing the internet but streaming TV doesn't seem to be affected much. I am building a system so I don't have my DAC or streamer. I do have my amp and getting a preamp as we speak. Would Fiber have any effect on the type of streamer or DAC I look at? I do assume that fiber will be better than cable. What should I look for to improve signal as far as jitter?

@soix It has the full gravity base. It doesn't have the external power supply but the Preamp will. The preamp is being built from the ground up. There is a two or three page review online just google TLC2 GT24 and it comes right up. It shows some cool pictures of the internals. It is definitely a very clean looking build like the rest of the equipment they build. |
@thecarpathian Yes it may be wishful thinking. The guy I spoke with was actually in a repair truck a block from my street. I figure they are in the know more than a customer service rep. I have had lots of issues with my current provider. It seems like they just put bandaids on everything instead of solving the real issue. |
@llg98ljk When you talk about the gateway are you referring to the modem? Did. you use the equipment from AT&T or did you purchase your own? |
@llg98ljk I imagine just going getting fiber will be a huge upgrade when it gets here. I constantly have sporadic issues with cable. |
@allanblissett Yes thanks for the info. I am excited about it. I have the cable guy out at least 2 to three times a year. I think I mentioned this in a previous post but I feel like they come out and just put a bandaid on the problem. |
