| Rose 150B or New Streamer??? I was looking at the Rose - gorgeous and well made item. I decided I wanted a separate dac and steamer. Alot of people go with a lower priced streamer due to the ever changing environment for software and apps as well as other factors . . . an... | |
| A different kind of (inexpensive) Audio accessory. Good idea. The tool I rely on is a small mirror (and a flashlight or two). The mirror is not perfect but it does often help when I can't get my head back there or when my eyes don't focus too close or too far away. I can read stuff and light st... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @soix I will definitely try an expensive ethernet cable to see if I can hear a difference after I buy a separate DAC. I will only do it with a blind test though because otherwise it would be meaningless. I will put a blindfold on or put up a bar... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @soix Mostly what I am doing is sharing the technical details of what occurs inside Ethernet receiver. There were some earlier posts that were providing technically incorrect information regarding Ethernet receivers and the signal. I have alwa... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES Everyone keeps focusing on the cable and noise that may couple into the signal on the cable, but the key here is what occurs after the signal leaves the cable in the Ethernet receiver. In a 3 or even 10 foot run, a tiny amount of noise can couple ... | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 @soix "But, if you’re going hard wired I think the Zen Stream is hard to beat" do you mean hardwired from switch/router to Zen or hardwired from phone/tablet to Zen? I am hardwired Ethernet from switch to stream, but would be wireless from pho... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @jerrybj I don't find his posts be snarky. A forum should welcome diversity in thought and input. Every aspect of music reproduction is influenced by the technology and it would unfortunate to lose that perspective. | |
| ETHERNET CABLES This thread is an example of personal truth and absolute truth. One group really believes that the 3 foot network cable affects the sound and the other group greatly believes that it does not affect the sound. @fredrik222 is spot on, however at th... | |
| Anyone successful hooking up a computer through a processor? I run a computer HDMI output from a video card (4k capable) into an input of an AVR receiver so I can watch content on Youtube and downloaded content. Works great. Can watch netflix and Amazon too. I installed an 4k fanless video card in the co... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES I wanted to provide a few more details that may be helpful. What is important to remember is while there is signal degradation that occurs in the channel (cable) the processing inside the network receiver and transmitter (pre-equalization) overcom... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @kennyc What you are saying is technically incorrect. The data is encoded, such as using PAM constellations, meaning the digital signal (1 and 0) are converted to a multilevel signal such that each transmitted symbol represents more than one bit... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @dpcoffey Listen to what DPCoffey is telling you. Research Ethernet communications. I have worked with the technology. There is full error correction built into the receiver and error correction codes are sent with the data. The received sign... | |
| Why does rock concert sound suck? WAY too loud. That is my major complaint. I could deal with the distortion if it was at 90 db or less. Plus, if was less loud the distortion would drop considerably. We see concerts that are not "rock" and big venues and they are amazing and ... | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendations @wast314 I am interested to see what you buy. We have similar music tastes and your no list of speaker is the same/similar to me. I am likely going with a Benchmark DAC3 (has switching and volume control). The Benchmark amp (I can easily pick... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? @roxy54 This certainly won't be the first time something was more complex that I figured it would be. : ) Lots of projects I get about 1/2 way into and say, "Damn, this is more complicated than I figured it would be" I have everyone on Aud... |
