| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? I had the same problem where the streamer without DAC that I bought cannot match the SQ of my SACD player. Streamer USB output was connected to USB DAC input of SACD player. I compared playing ripped files inside streamer SSD vs SACD player play... | |
| Innuos Statement Review I am wondering why not compare Statement vs EX by playing music directly from the internal SSD. | |
| Innuos Statement Review The picture with copper heat pipe in Positive Feedback is for CX, not EX.EX uses Celeron quad core with fanless heatsink.You can get the pictures of both CX + EX in 6moons: https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/antipodes/ I don’t own Antipodes b... | |
| Separate DAC or continue using the Oppo UDP-205 You can connect the hard drive directly to Oppo 205 USB3 ports (behind), then use Oppo Media Control app to select and play music files. This method means you don't have to spend at all.Oppo 205 DAC is very good. If you want to play music files ... | |

| Need help. Music server and streaming. Newbie. I have Oppo 205 and Sony HAP-Z1ES. The 205 is a lot better, especially when using XLR analog output. I agree with @mahler123 suggestion you can start with connecting USB drive to Oppo 205 USB port, but please note that you will get better sound ... | |
| Where can one find the most titles of DSD downloads for purchase? I listen to New Age and Blue Coast Music is my favorite. They have many albums where Steinway 1875 piano played by different artists was recorded directly to DSD 256 - superb audio quality.I also buy from NativeDSD. They have some albums transfe... | |
| SACD or not SACD? For 3k budget, I recommend consider the Marantz SA-KI Ruby. You can then use the Ruby as transport for redbook CD playback into your existing R2R DAC. You can use the Ruby for SACD and high-res music playback.To posters who hate high res audio, ... | |
| SACD or not SACD? I agree that it depends on recording and mastering. As an example, I have Norah Jones - Come Away With Me SACD hybrid and vinyl, but later I found out the SACD version I have was mastered from redbook (wrongly done by Sony engineers) - that's why... | |
| DACs That Improve The Sound of the Sony HAP-Z1ES Sony HAP-Z1ES was my first non-PC based player. I like the user interface, color display, control app, and the spot on ripping with Gracenote database. At that time, I also have Ayon CD-07 which uses the same Burr Brown PCM1795 DAC. The CD-07 soun... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @milpai You are welcome, and congrats on the power conditioner purchase.@ejholtom I just bought a used Innuos Zenith MkII with 2 TB internal SSD. Wow, what a difference it makes compared to using Intel NUC with LPS previously. However, DSD ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @milpai I don't have any experience with Esoteric players. I started with Oppo 205 and then bought the Marantz SA-10. The sound difference is not minor - the SA-10 is indeed very musical as mentioned by @markmendenhall . A lot more details but ... | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? I have analog rig but its usage dropped significantly after my Marantz SA-10 was fully broken in late last year. It's the master tape transfers to DSD (up to 2x, 4x) by 2xHD and others that really impressed me (bought from Native DSD and HDtracks... | |
| A comparison between two DACs, one R-2R, the other ES 9038-based. I've compared Denafrips Terminator and Oppo 205 previously. Denafrips products require long break-in time, for Terminator, it's about 3 months of high usage. When I had the Terminator, it sounds the best when using coax connected to a good CD tr... |
