| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- So many good Christmas songs...I guess I'll go with "We need a little Christmas" Johnny Mathis. Ask me in an hour and I'll probably have different favorite. | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? When I was very young it was WCFL AM Chicago I could pull it in on a tube radio from Chicago about 200 miles South--clear as a bell. WLS AM ChicagoTeenage years:WIXX album rock, no commercials--Green... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? This may be a little off-topic but when my Bryston amplifier had an intermittent issue with not powering up the first question Bryston technical support asked me was something to the effect of: Do you have some sort of aftermarket power cord?Bryst... | |
| Supply chain affecting anyone? FWIW: I ordered a Topping D30pro DAC and got it in a week. | |
| Which DAC is better? I have a Bluesound player and have swapped back and forth from the internal DAC to an external Bryston BDA-2, also a Topping D30 pro and cannot discern any difference. For simplification I went back to the blue sound players internal DAC. I know a... | |

| Best Brands Out of These-Wharfendale,Bowers and Wilkinsons... Splendors. Close second the speakers that look like rocks. | |
| Bryston or Aragon I can't vote against Aargon, never heard it, but I Absolutely love the sound of my Bryston 4Bsst2. | |
| I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes... Jond:I am streaming via Bluesound vault so I guess there is no way to see the bit count. Perhaps after I quit Amazon HD I'll try the free month subscription to Qobuz and see if I can detect the difference. | |
| I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes... Lalitk: The vast majority of what I stream comes with the LED on 44K. If I seek out some high resolution song, on some of them anyhow, the LED will go to 96K. How to compare if you don't know what the bit rate is? How would one determine what the ... | |
