| Quicksilver Headphone Amp @devilboy I’m actually using the Quicksilver HP amp with the Aryas. Prior to the QS amp, I used them with Naim Unitiqute, AAA THX 789 (now returned), and iFi Micro DSD Black Label. A few issues I had with the Aryas was that sometimes they tended t... | |
| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 @chrizola ... if you feel that you will be maxed out after purchasing the Zen Mini, then my humble advise is that you should look elsewhere. If you read any reviews or product descriptions of the Zen Mini, you can’t help but notice that there is s... | |
| Quicksilver Headphone Amp @glissando Couldn't agree with you more. I have been using the Quicksilver headphone amp for a few weeks now, and it is probably one of the most satisfying purchases I've made in the last few years. I'm just surprised that the reviews are so scant... | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY Thanks, @yyzsantabarbara . I'm actually leaning heavily towards the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge. It offers a lot at a reasonable price. Lumin T2 is a bit outside my comfort zone price-wise. I was not aware of Sonore xxxRendu. Need to do some research be... | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY @yyzsantabarbara Since you were looking at the Chord Mojo, I was going to suggest that you also checkout iF Micro DSD Black Label. But to be honest, anything less than a thousand will not do proper justice to the Empyreans. The Mytek definitely t... | |
| AFFORDABLE (under $1K) Best SS and Tube Amps for HD600 Same here ... I ordered the Quicksilver a few weeks ago, and it's just amazing. I love the lush, holographic sound. The low end it provides took my Hifiman Arya and Focal Clear to a whole new level. | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY Did you take a look at Mytek Brooklyn Bridge? | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio Thanks everyone for responding to my question. I have decided to go with option #1: Modem >> Router >> switch >> one line going to Apple TV (which will be replaced with a better streamer soon), and another line from the switch go... | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio @david_ten Thanks for your response. Yes, I understand that there is a third option i.e. powerline adapters. But since the router is in the same room, I am able to run a direct ethernet connection via CAT6 or 7. So the question is whether to run ... | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio I have a silly question ... I am running an ethernet cable from my router to my Apple TV that is connected to my 2 channel stereo amplifier. Now I have my headphone rig on the other side of the same room where the Bluesound Node 2 is acting as the... | |
| Meze EMPYREAN + Benchmark DAC3B + Benchmark HPA4 @yyzsantabarbara I'm really happy that you're enjoying the headphones. Hopefully once some used ones show up in the market, I will be able to pick them up. Right now, I'm really enjoying both my Focal Clears and Hifiman Aryas. | |
| Help me pick a stream with DAC Okay, so this is what I’m thinking now ...I ran an ethernet cable (CAT6) along the wall, snuck underneath my carpet and attached to the Bluesound Node 2i. To be very honest, I don’t hear any improvement but maybe Bluesound is not revealing enough ... | |
| Worth upgrading from Mytek Brooklyn to Mytek Brooklyn Bridge? @edcyn -- thank you for the detailed response. Since I will be streaming 90% of the time using Qobuz, brightness is definitely a concern. I guess I'm more sensitive to brightness than most. But it's good to know that you have found something you r... | |
| Worth upgrading from Mytek Brooklyn to Mytek Brooklyn Bridge? @edcyn I'm also seriously considering the Brooklyn Bridge. How are you liking it so far? Does it really lean toward the bright side of things? | |
| Help me pick a stream with DAC I'm getting ethernet installed in my study next week, so hopefully that will open up more possibilities. But still I would prefer a unit with wifi capability for the added flexibility just in case.I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Mytek Broo... |
