| Thoughts on DAC option Changing DAC won’t fix that problem. Biggest culprits there are recording quality, room acoustics, speakers and inadequate bass. Top end harshness can be balanced out by adding a sub. | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please They can be transferred over as an entire playlist using Sondiiz. | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please @ronboco i should have clarified…. so for example I have a Roon playlist with Qobuz tracks. For some reason, and by the way it actually happens, an album featuring these tracks is no longer available on Qobuz. These tracks would still be in the R... | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please @ronboco there’s software on the market that transfers playlists. One such example is Soundiiz in a very unlikely event you would need to use it. I would not purchase the tracks though at least until there are some indication that the service is... | |
| Last Critical Tweak… how to quell occasional high harshness…? Too many possible culprits. I’ll start with the simplest and the cheapest options- 1. Speaker placement - how far apart are your speakers (center to center); what’s the distance between center of horn driver to side wall and front wall (that’s th... | |
| Pass-through Roon Endpoints When I tried WiiM Pro it wasn’t yet certified with Roon. Good to know they finally got that done. It’s an OK streamer with Qobuz and Tidal but I wouldn’t put it in a system with B&W 800 series speakers. What you need to consider is the fol... | |
| Seeking to upgrade from Weiss Dac 204 Don’t buy any new components unless you heard them in a system you’re very familiar with, preferably your own, and there’s a return policy. If you’re blind buying, buy used. To really understand what the new DAC is doing in your system you need to... | |
| Pass-through Roon Endpoints Is WiiM Pro a certified Roon endpoint now? Or are you streaming from Roon to WiiM using AirPlay? How are you streaming to Bluesound? How is all this set up? What sources are you using? Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, local music files? If you don’t hear an... | |
| Streamer upgrade advice. Airplay, Apple Music snd ALAC isn’t exactly an optimized streaming setup. You can improve it by getting a streamer with native apple music support but it’s still not going to sound as good as qobuz or tidal. Just as an experiment can you do a fre... | |
| Pass-through Roon Endpoints Question: is there any advantage to using a fancier (i.e., pricier) streamer than the Wiim Pro for this purpose? It does nothing except pass the digital data through to the DAC, nor would a fancier one do anything beyond that. love it when pe... | |
| CODA 8 V1 @erik_squires perhaps you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I wasn’t implying there’s no difference between Pass and Coda. I was just saying you can’t really hear when these amps transition out of Class A. Yes Coda sounds completely differe... | |
| Quboz cuts off beginning of songs DACs I had that didn’t have these issues - Bricasti M3 Chord Qutest and Hugo TT2 Benchmark DAC3 PS Audio DSD Mark 1 Meitner MA3i It could be a combination of Innuos and your dac. If the buffer settings make no difference you either need anot... | |
| Quboz cuts off beginning of songs Try the buffer settings in innuos and see if it resolves it I used to own BDA-3 and used it with Lumin U1 Mini. Don’t recall it swallowing the first few seconds of a song. But do recall a static like pop | |
| To Stream w/Optical Or Not I think using usb cable from Cambridge to mcintosh is a better option. as to volume control just set volume on cxn to its max setting anf control the volume with McIntosh preamp. I would avoid replacing cambridge with wiim. I don’t find wiim to ... | |
| CODA 8 V1 @swede58 correct Don’t worry about class a or a/b. Coda is excellent. There’s barely any difference with Pass or Coda when these amps transition out of Class A. |
