| Handling Heavy Amps @jfrmusic I would help you but I’m in another part of Jersey. I do like @dill ’s idea though. You don’t want to do this type of heavy lifting yourself. If you pop a hemorrhoid you won’t be able to sit down and listen to your system for about a wee... | |
| Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap @hgeifman thanks for this info! Very helpful! | |
| Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap Looking to go from M3 to M1S2. I don’t think I care for the new blue display and on top of it I just turn all of the displays off anyway. Did Joe mention any sonic improvements with the new MDX board? | |
| To loom or not to loom? Kinda full loom… I had all Acoustic Zen PCs and ICs. Krakatoa (preamp), Gargantua (DAC and amp), Absolute Copper Interconnects. The interconnects were the first ones in a system. Every time I added more AZ cables I got more of their “house” soun... | |
| New streamer needed @stievus I use EERO mesh network throughout the house. One access point is close to the equipment rack. Ethernet cable is Purist Audio 🐈⬛ 7. I have 400mps service and the EERO sees about 200-260mps. More than enough to stream high resolution fil... | |
| New streamer needed Do you think Stevie Wonder can tell the difference between roland and a yamaha? Or is he full o’ 💩? We’re highjacking the thread now and I don’t want to be hypocritical. So my apologies to the OP… | |
| New streamer needed @benanders LMAO. I’d love to compare the two files though - one ripped with my $40 LG and another with that high end drive. But I won’t be buying it to do it because I’m pretty sure it would be exact same 💩 as my $40 drive and I would have to retu... | |
| Streamer Fidelity: Aurender N200 vs A200 and Lumin U2 vs T3 Innuos supports squeeze if I’m not mistaking. Also, you’re more likely to get a higher quality streamer as a dedicated unit and not a streamer/dac combo. Keep it separated | |
| Aurender Conductor App Question Yes I never had the need to navigate to folders to play a specific album. The search feature works like a charm. | |
| AC cords for Hegel H390 that do not color sound? @stuartk this is a tricky one. Most of the cables will color the sound. I think another way of looking at it is what power cord would do the least amount of harm as far as sonic character of the amp is concerned and the overall synergy as well. ... | |
| It's your streamer, not your modem Yup. Best possible streamer first. Digital cable, power cord then Ethernet cable. Unnecessary added clutter with converters, filters, switches etc. is just complicating things, adding its own noise that leads to linear power supply upgrades, addin... | |
| Aurender Conductor App Question I add to external and just copy over the delta exactly the same way. You can select individual folders from hdd to copy them over. | |
| Aurender Conductor App Question @classic8 what you can do is organize into folders before you copy to SSD. That’s what I did. I have one folder for highres and one for 16/44. It copied over that way. However the conductor is decent enough to let you filter by artist, bitrate, et... | |
| New streamer needed @benanders that’s a solid advice! I did this as well. For the comparison I used dbpoweramp to rip to uncompressed FLAC. The software is free if you use just the basic features. CD rom drive is a $40 LG external unit. Nothing fancy. | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @nyev absolute killer of a system there dude! Have you added any acoustic treatments as well? I’ll just add this for 💩 s and goggles… I’ve recently compared, once again, CD vs streaming (yes I can’t be helped lol) and throughout the course of thi... |
