| WHY CABLES MATTER! After using authentic OCC copper or silver cables, I will not buy or use anything else. The clarity, dyamics, timing, all improved over ofc cables which have significant grain boundaries. I would say for me the difference was night and day. | |
| YouTube / YouTube Music Streaming @cooper52 I tried 2 other methods without success. I found out today that the Nvidia Shield Pro USB ports can be used as an output to a dac. I use one in my bedroom as a streamer. I connected it up to my dac and sure enough it works outputin... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? Since this tread is active again I will drop my thoughts. DA-06 build quality is good but I was disappointed when I disassembled it many years ago and found a major part of the weight was due to a steel plate being mounted to the cover. The PCM1... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? My DA-06 has been sitting for close to 7 years without use. I need to sell it. Honestly, it sounds terrible when compared to several other dacs that I have acquired over the years. | |
| XLR cable recommendations needed Thanks for everyone’s input. Ive settled on trying some pure occ silver cables. These will be my first all silver cables so it will be a learning experience. | |
| Not sure what to think or do... Thirty hours is nothing on a new pair of speakers so they definitely need some time to stretch out. I will continue to break them in cautiously. Do you know why the Parasound JC5 exploded? I am wondering if there is a problem with your A/C p... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? Wow time goes by fast... Ive had everything packed up for the last couple of years due to moving around. For the last year or so Ive just been using my bluetooth headphones - Sennheiser Momentum 3. They actually sound pretty good for being wir... | |
| Good sounding head unit / NAV for car? I am looking into the Kenwood and Pioneer NAV systems. I am not planning on playing anything more than redbook or streaming Tidal. I have some portable daps that I can connect to phone, etc but I would like something all integrated instead of ha... | |
| Need Help Ripping My CD Collection Exact Audio Copy. I was able to rip about a 1000 cds rapidly by adding 2 additional rom drives to my computer. EAC allows you to have 3 instances running so one could rip 3 discs at a time. | |
| What is most important part of a system? The quality of recording that you are playing is the most important. A good recording will bring out the best even in a mediocre system and a bad recording will make the most expensive systems sound not listenable. | |
| Streaming Tidal - What hardware is out there beyond the Bluesound For Hifi: Android phone -> Chromecast Audio -> Audio GD Interface -> DAC. | |
| Power an amp and component with batteries instead of direct outlet power? The clock in my dac is battery powered and the sound is much more solid (grounded, coherent). Clocks are very sensitive to noise. | |
| Looking for an amplifer Parasound A21 x2. Bi-amp those speakers. | |
| Tips on dealing with audio dealers You can try to negotiate on all MSRP prices. It never hurts to ask. I recommend creating a relationship with a small audio specialty shop that deals with manufacturers that you are interested in. I was able to get a substantial discount just by... | |
| Surround Processor / Pre Amp / 3D Sound Field Interesting responses. It seems so complicated now. I remember I connected the Yamaha DDP-1 and the only calibration I performed was the level of each of the speaker in 5.1 surround. This was on a very entry level system. It was able to create... |
