| Stepping into streaming, finally AQ Cinnamon should be good. As to Tidal…not sure. Are you using tidal connect? | |
| DAC Suggestions Another vote for Bricasti M3 | |
| Stepping into streaming, finally @knock1 if your streamer and DAC don’t unfold MQA you are probably better off just playing 16/44 versions on Tidal. One other suggestion, if you are using USB cable between streamer and DAC you can try a better cable. Might close the gap with the... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @dbt I didn’t compare them with Cardas Clear but the AZs couldn’t be beat by: Audience AU24SX, Kimber KS1126, Analysis Plus Silver Apex, Nordost Tyr 1. The cables that were a better fit for my system were Nordost Tyr 2. And this is an important ... | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? I think it’s probably 85% power related and 15% ambient noise or something to that effect. Who knows…gremlins everywhere 😂 | |
| Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming? @nyev my system is plugged into two dedicated circuits. The sound is better after 11pm. Everything is quieter, my family members including my dog are not running around. Sound is fantastic. I tried Ethernet filters (N A Eno streaming system) and i... | |
| New streamer needed @mdalton well the way you react to what I post is your confirmation bias. @stievus a good way to look at it is everything has to more or less be on the level. What I mean is the quality of your transport has to at least match the quality of your ... | |
| New streamer needed mdalton 225 posts 03-02-2024 at 04:51pm @stievus I swear, this is the last time I’m going to ask; who posts something like this? Pathetic. doesn’t matter what he was using. CD beat it and he’s looking to match the quality of CD playbac... | |
| New streamer needed @mdalton I respond honestly based on my own experience. There’s nothing ad hominem about my response at all. I disagree with your theory and your endless confirmation bias propaganda and you can’t get over it. Nothing for me to dial back here bud... | |
| New streamer needed @riccitone @romanesq you guys are highjacking the thread | |
| New streamer needed As I replied in my earlier post…Aurender N10, Lumin u1 are definitely worth looking into. I’ll add the Aurender N200 and Lumin U2. My preference would be the Aurender because of better build quality as well as better UI. I honestly don’t think the... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers @carlsbad2 can you please elaborate on what can possibly change in a vacuum tube throughout the course of the limited break in process you have come to accept as a phenomena? And another question as you have a degree in physics…does a dielectric c... | |
| New streamer needed CDs when played back on a top notch player or a transport fed into a good dac sound really good. As a matter of fact trying a very modest transport, Audiolab 6000CDT, into my Bricasti M3 DAC was the driving factor for my streamer upgrade. I just c... | |
| Let the best be your guide It’s possible to strike a balance between resolving and forgiving. It just takes time and effort in matching components, cables, room acoustics. I like an accurate but not analytical system. I want to be able to listen and enjoy a crappy recording... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration @jfrmusic btw worth exploring what folks use with this level of digital and your speakers on a Harbeth forum. |
