| Have you had streaming music clip out with chord Dave? Does the music cut out or is it just the display on the DAVE that goes blank without interrupting streaming? Not clear from your post. If you get the music interrupted then try rebooting the streamer. Power off, unplug, wait a bit, connect power a... | |
| Holo May KTE Power Cord @pinwa I would not even attempt to compare Audience powerChord to StudioOne. They are worlds apart and sound completely different. I had powerChord, AU24se-i, f3 and auditioned StudioOne just days ago. The f3 is better than stock but it isn’t wh... | |
| Holo May KTE Power Cord F3 is a decent cable. Go up the Audience line to AU24se or newer StudioOne. Great cables and Audience always worked great on all DACs I used to own. StudioOne will be more refined than the F3. It’s an improvement top to bottom plus you will improv... | |
| what cable should I buy for my system? I agree with @jond Try a good preamp. Source to amp is typically forward and doesn’t excel in layering and soundstage. | |
| What front end piece should I upgrade? Does the Jr. have a built in preamp? If so, have you tried playing with volume level on it? When I had the DSD MkI best sound was with volume set at 92. Reduced the overall noise. One other suggestion, if you’re using RCA cables, try XLR. You migh... | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets I have two dedicated lines terminated with two duplex outlets each. There’s a Furutech gtx-d ncf(r) and a cheap Home Depot outlet on each line. I’m thinking to upgrade the HD ones to Shunyata just to compare with Furutech. And yes the Furutech out... | |
| Streamer/Ripper/Storage I wouldn’t focus on ripper but instead concentrate on getting the best possible streamer. I have Aurender N200 and have a large collection of CD rips on the SSD mounted inside the Aurender that I rarely dip into unless I’m planning to listen to so... | |
| Streamer between Roon Nucleus Plus and DAC Cool. In this case, you’d need to try a streamer in your system and see if it beats this PB Designs proprietary USB to fiber optic converter with Nucleus. Some of the streamers sound better with their native processing than they do as Roon end poi... | |
| Streamer between Roon Nucleus Plus and DAC @tcutter you have a fantastic DAC. I’m confused though…when you say you have usb from nucleus into some sort of a converter then fiber optic into DAC…do you actually mean optical cable? I don’t see any fiber optic inputs on MPD-8…can you be more s... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @stuartk glad to hear you were able to eliminate that nuisance. Your perseverance paid off! I’m actually not in a least bit surprised. I’ve not had good experience with platforms/vibration control devices with any components I ever owned owned. Go... | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. @helomech interesting. My Wilson Sabrinas are 87db and dip into 2ohm. I have 2 amps - CSIB and Boulder 866. Different bass but the Coda isn’t lacking. I’m slightly puzzled by your findings but it could be room and speakers. My system is in a pre... | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. @helomech just out of curiosity what preamp did you use with coda | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. @helomech Coda CSib appeared to have less bass than my Pass monoblocks initially in my system. As I spent more time with it, I realized the bass Coda produces is accurate, fast and tuneful. There’s plenty of it too. It will not shake walls which u... | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. @williamjohnston keep us posted if you audition any of the suggested amps | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use @abnerjack look bud…read my first post where I shared my experience with different DACs running them with RP1 and shared the best method of comparing DACs from my experience. Calling my post useless…that’s rich. It’s obvious you’re incapable of di... |
