| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? @duramax747, I’m a huge fan of Sir Lewis Hamilton, who I consider the greatest Formula One race car driver of all time. Do you have a link to the work that you’re doing in racing or other endeavors? | |
| new headphones recommendation? grado gs3000e or… @cinnamonandgravy, for years I enjoyed my Grado RS1i headphones, and I still have them because they’re very musical and fun to listen to. Then two years ago when the pandemic started I got audio gear upgradeitis and bought a pair of Grado GS3000e ... | |
| Power Conditioning on the Cheap @incorporeus, as you well know, having clean power running through your mains is critical to getting the best sound out of any hifi system. To that end I use an AudioQuest Niagara 1200 power conditioner in conjunction with an AQ Thunder power cabl... | |
| Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality. @wc1, I really love the user interface of Roon. So going from a MacBook Pro to a Nucleus to run Tidal and Qobuz was a no brainer. I feel that I’ve really helped the sound quality by adding a 19v Sbooster linear power supply to the Nucleus, and usi... | |
| The problem with streaming I’ve found that with a dedicated music streaming system like mine, the sound quality exceeds that of any analog setup that I’ve used over the last 50yrs. As a result of slowly coming into the 21st century, I now have thousands of LP’s and CD’s lan... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) @loxo, I also use a Roon Nucleus with an aftermarket LPS(linear power supply), except mine is an Sbooster, which I’ve found to work quite nicely in my system. I’m often amazed at the number of folks who not only recommend to others music servers t... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) @naperaudio, if you value plug and play ease of use when listening to music, and you intend to use Roon, then I highly recommend that you look at getting a Roon Nucleus. I have one running off of a 19v Sbooster linear power supply that’s plugged i... | |
| Thinking of taking the plunge. Thank you @mwinkc for correcting me. | |
| Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject @ghdprentice, I definitely have to agree with your assessment sir. Having bought and used every high end music reproduction format in the last fifty years plus, streaming is absolutely the way to go now in 2022. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... I’m a huge fan of @richtruss and Rob Osborne’s ENO Streaming System, which I incorporated into my listening chain this past fall. Both Rich and Rob were extremely helpful with answering all of my questions and concerns about their products and how... | |
| Tidal vs Qubuz - Steely Dan "Jack of Speed" I have both Tidal and Qobuz subscriptions that I run through Roon software using a Roon Nucleus as my music streamer. I always choose the recording with the highest bitrate available from either service. Most often my preference is to listen to th... | |
| Upgrade from modified Bluesound Node 2i and linear power supply (LPS) ? @txp1, I really enjoyed the Chord Qutest before I got a TT2. It’s a great little DAC! When it comes to streaming music, I’m all in on Roon so I got a Roon Nucleus to stream Tidal and Qobuz. I have it powered by a 19v Sbooster LPS that definitely h... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit @richtruss, I happen to agree with you that a good streamer running Qobuz, in a dedicated system that is properly filtered, sounds far superior to one that is using a CD transport as its music source. I would never have come to this conclusion wit... | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC If you enjoy detail and accuracy in your music I don’t think that you could do any better than demoing a Chord Qutest. I think it’s the best sounding DAC at its price point. And given your budget getting one either new or used would leave you room... | |
| Appreciate Some Dac Advice @btscott, that’s awesome! I hope you enjoy the music. |
