| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @stuartk confirm the specs on your bnc cable to make sure it is 75ohm before you buy adapters I’d rather use AES from transport to DAC or a proper 75ohm coax cable and not introduce any adapters unless you have a fancy and expensive bnc cable th... | |
| Ethernet cables @decooney 2m black cable under $100 that would be a step up from cheap? Not that I can think of. And I wouldn’t bother. Don’t take small steps as they don’t yield the results you’re looking for. Treat Ethernet cable as you would a digital cable. P... | |
| Ethernet cables @decooney I came to the conclusion a while ago that I would get my answers by trying and listening. It’s not so much the cable that brings in the improvements as it is components interaction within the ecosystem if your setup that includes but is ... | |
| Audioquest 72v DBS problems with my DAC Yes plane jane usb cables always work. The problem is they don’t sound good. You just need to find a cable that works and sounds good. Not a very difficult task. Just takes some time and funds. I use the cable company to audition cables. I run USB... | |
| Audioquest 72v DBS problems with my DAC Compatibility issues are not uncommon with audiophile USB cables. I’ve had issues with Audience FrontRow USB cable where it would cut out permanently requiring a streamer reboot. Check Shunyata USB cables out. New Alpha X is supposed to be excell... | |
| Audioquest 72v DBS problems with my DAC That’s good. Hopefully you can exchange these cables for something else or return them. | |
| Audioquest 72v DBS problems with my DAC I’ve used AQ Diamond USB between Aurender N200 and Bricasti M3. Never had any issues. Actually a really nice sounding cable. Did you buy the AQ cables from an authorized dealer? I hope these are not chinese fakes. Then all bets are off. | |
| I Was A Skeptic Now I'm Not So Sure @alan60 unfortunately Ethernet cables make a difference. I’ve tested a few including the Supra and confirmed they impact the sound. It would have been really neat if cables made no difference and we would be using amazon cat 8 for $6 per meter and... | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole Not a peep from OP in 3 days. I guess he’s already deep in the rabbit hole…so deep that there’s no internet. | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? @nightfall Lab 12 comes from Greece. It’s relatively new here. The other boutique choices have questionable presence when it comes to support. Sonics are questionable as well. In both cases you should have a plan for a scenario when you end up wit... | |
| Streamer Recommendations You have your music library on your computer and you want a streamer to play it over your network, correct? You have decent options and the best value is going used Streamers with good sound quality and UI - Auralic Aries G1, Aurender N150, Aure... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks There are those who use objective facts, and those who use subjective opinions supported by any number of biases, realized or not. Bias works both ways buddy. Realize or not. | |
| OK Audiogon, help me out please ATC SCM40 should be a nice fit for you. Get Sonus Faber Sonetto if you are more into decor than sound. They’ve never impressed me with their sound quality and sonic signature and they don’t have the bass for rock and blues. I strongly recommend yo... | |
| Power Amp or DAC - weakest link, help please? Hold off on DAC upgrade. If you want a more articulate presentation, Coda .8 V1 amplifier should do the trick. Pass Labs amps are great but they are warm and mellow. The opposite of what you’re looking for. Coda is more expressive and faster sound... | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole @dvvilkins can you list your digital components that you would be connecting with this new USB cable? |
