Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use
I just added a Rogue RP-1 to my system. I use a Bluesound Vault 2 as a music server. Befor the Rogue I have been able to tell the difference in different DAC's I've had. My equipment is Emotiva XMC-1, Oppo 105, Bluesound Vault 2, AV123 strata Mini speakers and a SVS 300bp subwoofer.
I've compared the Oppo 105 to the Vault and the Oppo was definitely better, I've also compared the Vault to the XMC-1 and the XMC-1 was better.
Since installing the Rogue RP-1 they all seem to sound the same, even borrowed a Schiit Bitfrost. Again I could not hear a difference. So I have just simplified my setup and I'm just using the the RCA out from the Vault to one of the RP-1 inputs.
Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong
Thanks
"If after getting acclimated to one DAC it all still sounds the same to you, you’re either not capable to hear the differences or your system is not revealing" @audphile1 Surely you can do better than this tired old cliche'. OP already demonstrated that he cold tell the difference between dacs before inserting the RP1, and you obviously believe the RP1 is capable, so it seems clear something else is going on. |
@audphile1 "That's bad form". Good one! Bad form is doubling down on a useless post. I left out " (it’s not RP1 cause it’s pretty transparent) and or your room acoustics are bad or all of the above." Are you saying that the room acoustics came in to play only after he switched to the RP1? He could distinguish between dacs before he switched. Look at @thegreenline post above as a logical explanation. It appears that being called out is bad form to you. |
