| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? I enjoy streaming due to the simplicity. I have a Simaudio 680D Focal Kanta 3 floor speakers and Anthem Str Integrated amp. I use both Qobux and Tidal. A song I like might sound better on one service than the other. Vinyl sounds great CD can be re... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? I have a very difficult room since it is over the garage. I have Focal Kanta 3 floor standing speakers and added a Simaudio 680D streamer dac to my system and it made a huge difference in sound clarity and overall sonics. I am using a Anthem Str-I... | |
| Anyone ditch the sub after large speaker purchase? I recently purchased Focal Kanta 3 floor standing speakers. For 2 channel stereo I don't find any need for a sub woofer. I do use it when watching movies since I use the same speakers for a 5.1 system just different amps. Room size might matter th... | |
| Music streamers I have tried a laptop and stand alone streamers. A lot depends on your system. Amp speakers etc. I ended up getting a Simaudio 680D used with Focal Kanta 3 speakers and the sound is amazing. Simaudio makes just a stand alone streamer that is reall... | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? I was using an Oppo Bd-105 as my source and a Anthem Str-Integrated Amp with Focal Aria 936 speakers. Sounded pretty good to me. I had been thinking about upgrading the Dac portion of the amp. I was able to get a used SimAudio 680D Streamer Dac fo... | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? I bought a Simaudio 680D streamer dac used at a great price and for now is the most expensive part of my system. I have a Anthem Str integrated amp and Focal Aria 936 floor standing speakers. With the Arc room correction software and the overall h... | |
| Integrated brand choice -- Simaudio, Hegel or Mark Levinson? I have a Simaudio 680D Stream Dac hooked up to a Anthem-Str Integrated amp with Focal Aria 936 speakers. I know the the Simaudio cost way more than the other parts of the system but I listen to streamed music mainly. I plan on up dating the speake... | |
| Looking for a front end streamer only. I just received the Simaudio Moon 680D. Breaking it in but it sounds really really good so far. The Clarity and Precision of streaming music from Tidal And Qobuz is just the best I have heard from my system. I will probably update my Focal Aries 9... | |
| Looking for a front end streamer only. I am in the process of updating my system. It is being used as both a home theater system and for stereo listening. I have a lot invested in the home theater side. I just bought a Simaudio Moon 680D streamer on this site. Will go from there. Thank... | |
| Bricasti M3 Does any one have a Auralic G1 or G2 to compare the network card sound with. Is the card all you need to be your main digital music player for Tidal and Qobuz. | |
| 2k to 4k Streaming DAC I'm thinking that is what I want to do. I'm thinking about the Auralic Aries G2.1 and seeing how it first sounds through my Anthem STR Integrated amp. I can always add a DAC later. Any other streamers I should look at. 4k to 5k would be my limit. ... | |
| Hard of Hearing Audiophile. 40 years of flying high performance jets did me in. I can still hear ok but have tinnitus. I bought a pair of Focal Aria 936 speakers and a Anthem STR integrated amp and stream Tidal. I use to love headphones but the ringing makes them tuff at tim... | |
| 2k to 4k Streaming DAC I have been using Tidal for about 3 years now. MQA files do sound better to me when I use them. I want to find a very good DAC that has a really good sounding Streamer built in to use as a one box solution. I have not really tried other streaming ... | |
| Mid Range Streamer DAC recommendation help requested! I have a older Oppo Bd-105 feeding a Anthem STR integrated amp with Focal Aria 936 speakers. Does Tidal well but want more options. I have been looking at the Cary Audio DMS-550 since it's on sale and has a 30 day return policy. |
