| Another post about a streamer upgrade @mdalton I was using mac mini as roon core only. Not a streamer. The comparison was done using auralic with lightning ds vs Auralic as roon end point. There’s no jitter. Just different way of processing the stream by the Auralic. | |
| Good measuring DACs vs. I find the Stereophile review of DAC 3 HGC, to put it gently, weird. The reviewer was comparing it to PS Audio DSD by having PS Audio DSD connected to the Benchmark analog in, and stated he heard no difference between the two DACs. Well no đź’©!!! I... | |
| Contemporary Classical Composers - new discoveries Sorabji Piano Music album is excellent! Thank you!!! | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade @mdalton yes nothing beats roon from the UI / UX and features standpoints. However, one important note - with some streamers their proprietary UI/software forces the streamed files to take a certain path that involves extra processing such as cach... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @drlou77Â any update? | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade @benanders I’m totally cool with your stance on this. Let’s not highjack this thread. Enjoy the music! | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade Again, I’m not saying more expensive streamers can’t be better-sounding. I’m just saying I have never been able to understand the logic for how they offer higher fidelity, in the absence of demonstrated perceptible difference (accounts of satisfi... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 I will add that the Lumin native app just sucks. Of you use Roon, you’re good. The Aurender as you probably know is not roon ready but the Conductor app is very good overall and presents not much of learning curve. I was up and running in minutes. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mm1tt77 I used Auralic Aries G1, Lumin U1 Mini and the built in network renderer in my dac. The Aurender N200, sonically, is in another league. I will make a safe assumption that even with Sbooster the lumin mini won’t reach close to the N200. I ... | |
| Lumin upgrade @jimboman Thanks!!! Yes it’s mind boggling the difference this streamer made. Truly impressed with it. | |
| Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz @mojo771 if you are streaming via Bluetooth then really it doesn’t matter what streaming service you use. You’re sending lossy audio to your streamer. That’s a waste of money so might as well cancel your tidal and just use free Spotify or the chea... | |
| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC @bigfatpaulie GIK sells stands for the panels. Mount a thick GIK 244 panels on these stands for each first reflection point. Store these two panels in the garage or something like that, and break em out for your critical listening sessions. Then s... | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice Golden Ear floor standers have a built in powered sub that you can adjust to integrate with the mids and highs in your room. For metal you do not want anything super revealing as majority of the bands are less than perfectly recorded. So you need ... | |
| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC @bigfatpaulie that fuzzy center image is most likely due to first reflection points not being treated. The fireplace has some say in it but it’s negligible. The direction of the sound your Sashas put out is forward with tweeter and midrange disper... | |
| Lumin upgrade Cool. Great to hear! |
