Steaming...
Definitely a flat response after that! The moving iron moves on.😉
But once again we have streaming in the analog section. Why does that keep happening?
Digital with same soundstage as analog
I have a modest setup, but the analog sounds good to me. Question, can I get the same soundstage with digital by adding a DAC or Streamer?
Current equipment is;
VPI Scout with Hana SL
Parasound A21
Vincent SA32 Preamp
Elac PPA2
Dyneaudio Emit 30
Oppo 83SE
room is conditioned floor to ceiling and approximately 12x24’
When I play SACD’s, the soundstage is no where near the analogue presence. Maybe it’s the SACD player that’s limiting my experience to go streaming.
Advice based on setup would be helpful
Thanks in advance

At least I'm not with a first encounter being 'Steaming Sauces', that would be a interesting wording to cause total confusion. I have a notoriety for being a Thread Killer. The most recent 2024 Streamer Demo' has been a Linn Selekt with Upgrades, in comparison to a few CD Sources, being a EAR Acute and a Wadia. The Vinyl Source has been the SP10 R > Glanz > Miyajima Lab MC > Bespoke Built Valve Input / Output Phonostage. Is the Linn Selekt a Streamer that competes comfortably in the end sound production area, with the other Brands of similar purchase value, or is it a poorer performer. I would own a Selekt, if there was a better sonic quality to be achieved for less monies, from a new or used alternative device, I would be keen to learn of such models. |
@pindac I’m sure you heard what you heard, but the key to your strong statement that “streaming is not a contender for CD or vinyl source” is that as you stated your experience is “very limited.” There are many here with very accomplished/expensive systems who have found this to not be the case at all and that streaming is very much “a contender” to the other formats sonically along with all its other significant advantages/benefits. “Streaming is not a contender” is a bold and definitive statement to make for someone with admittedly relatively little experience with various streaming setups and has not been born out by me and many others here. But obviously you’re entitled to your opinion. |
@soix I'm sure everything you say is true. But surely it does not belong in the analog forum? |
