@jasonbourne Have you heard streaming that has a Fibre Optic cable? Preferably like the Lumin X1 or the new mega expensive Linn DAC which have Fibre Optic inputs on the DAC itself. Or what I use, the Sonore OpticaRendu with the stream coming straight out of a $299 Ubiquiti Network Switch Fibre output and going into the OpticalRendu which then outputs USB to my DAC?
Marantz PM Ki Ruby and RME ADI 2 (Am I crazy?)
Hey guys,
My setup is node 2i > rme adi 2 dac > pm ki ruby > dynaudio special 40s.
All this while I’ve been using the RME as a dac and the marantz as pre and power.
while browsing some random stuff, I realised that the rme could also be used as a pre and the marantz just as a power amp.
And of course, I tried. But am I crazy to think that my system sounds better? The soundstage has widened , better imaging and overall improved sonics. Is this even possible or just my mind playing tricks?
Please help, I’m losing it!! Lol
