| Sound quality differences in streamers Can there be sonic differences between moderate and high priced streamers when used for streaming only. Short answer is it depends. If your downstream components are of very high quality, your room acoustics are dialed in and you have reveal... | |
| Holo Audio May / please help We should mount the RevOpod footers on jasonbourne. We will see a few weeks of silence in the forums as he learns to walk on delrin balls. as to your question @rick_n you can try a fishing line (while we’re on the subject) and “dental floss” i... | |
| Best RCA Digicable Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes. Well balanced top to bottom. DH Labs D750 - cheaper option, slightly forward. | |
| Network Switches @rivinyl is there a reason why you need a switch at all? In my opinion, invest in a better ethernet cable first. They make a difference. You can also pick up an iFi LAN iSilencer on amazon and combine it with a better cable. I wouldn’t waste mone... | |
| Speakers for 2nd System! @lalitk I heard Feetwood Deville with a flee watt amp (8w) in a large room. While I think they’re ugly as sin, they do sound very good and throw a gigantic soundstage. They pooped while playing Metallica with that amp but did well with acoustic mu... | |
| Speakers for 2nd System! @lalitk I was going to say ATC SCM40. But I am not sure your amplifier has the needed juice. | |
| Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords @milpai yes 100% system dependent. Yes give AQ a shot. I would bypass Thunder and start with Tornado or Hurricane. Be careful buying AQ on a used market. Too many fakes. I highly recommend TMR as they will have not only a genuine product but also ... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? Good catch @tosnc. Airplay is not good at all. | |
| Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords @milpai I am using Nordost Frey 2 power cord on DAC and Nordost Heimdall 2 power cord on streamer. My integrated amp is also fed by Frey 2. I can’t recommend AQ. Bloated and dark in my system. Nordost opened things up. Not bright just open and re... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? There should not be a degree of difference you described. I’ve used roon and native streaming with few streamers and your observations indicate there is definitely a problem somewhere. Most likely with Evo. One thing you can do is install roon on... | |
| Audioquest thunder vs tornado HC powercords These power cords emphasize low end but it comes at a cost of sacrificing clarity and top end extension. This is the sound signature no matter the component that’s powered by these cords be it a dac, preamp, amp or streamer. If you like dark sound... | |
| Audience Front Row vs Cardas Clear No idea how these Cardas speaker cables sound. But I compared Audience Front Row to Audience AU24sx, Furutech DSS-4.1 and Nordost Tyr 2. The Front Row is still in my system. The only thing I can tell you is I really like the Front Row speaker ca... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? @reimarc just compared the same Dire Straits track (one kf my favorite DS songs) using same Qobuz album played on my Aurender N200 streamer using it’s proprietary DSP controlled via Aurender Conductor app to using the N200 as a Roon end point. All... | |
| Aurender Qobuz connect Update your conductor app and the N200 firmware. I just installed the updates and started testing Qobuz connect with my N200. | |
| CD Player Distortion? Make sure you have all noise generators away from cables - no source of EMI or RFI near these cables. Routers, power cords, amplifier transformers, etc. You can still try old cables now that you hear what was missing you might be able to pick up o... |
