| To Focal or not to Focal The Aria sound sweeter to me than the Chorus in this video. There are also differences in room acoustics - no panels with chorus and a ton of room reverb. Who knows what else is different. | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice I don’t have these issues with the conductor app. It’s 100% stable for me. There’s a default action you can pick when adding a song to the queue. I usually have add to end. Then I go back after I’m done adding songs or just let the queue get there... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @zpatenaude37 if not too late…I’d like to chime in. I have done a pretty extensive comparison in my system between the Bricasti M3 network card used as a Roon endpoint and the Bricasti M3 used as DAC driven by Aurender N200. To me, the network ren... | |
| To Focal or not to Focal @erik_squires good points about the Focals being power hungry and the room acoustics. I used to have DNA 0.5, DNA125 and 225. All are great amps. I also owned Rogue ST100 with RP1. It’s been a long time, probably 20+ years since I heard those NHT ... | |
| Seeking Opinions on Nordost Cables to add…the inquiry looks like a survey. I may be wrong but if that’s the case, you won’t be able to get a good discussion going. Just a note.., | |
| Seeking Opinions on Nordost Cables Please list your components and budget as well as what Nordost cable line and model are you thinking about trying. There are significant differences in sound characteristics between lines as well as models within each line. I’ve tried few Nordost... | |
| Best cable placement In my experience, it all depends on the synergy. In most cases in my system(and different variations of it), the best cable made the biggest difference between preamp and amp. But because it can also reveal the shortcomings upstream, experiment an... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @mbmi I’d love to hear a pair of X3s and will do so when opportunity arises. I just don’t believe in giant slayers. | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @soix agreed on the Octave being underpowered for the recommendations above. And I mentioned that as well. The only speakers it will be comfortable with is probably the Devore. | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp @koestner if you’re referring to the built in network renderer, I believe In the case of my Bricasti M3 it’s an internal I2S connection. It’s a Roon ready endpoint and I liked it better than the Lumin U1 Mini connected to the M3 via Audience AU24s... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range @njkrebs Wilsons have a natural tone and the Sabrinas check all the boxes, however, your amp is slightly underpowered for these speakers in that size room. Depends on how loud you like to listen. Magico speakers do not sound anything like Wilsons... | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp @koestner you’re right. I’m done with this 🤡 back to streamers and dacs! | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp Hey @deep_333 did anyone attack you here? | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp Attacks on @deep_333 that’s rich. Who attacked him and where? Provide an example. Or is your definition of attack is anything that isn’t aligned with your political beliefs and narratives? Just curious. | |
