| Weakest link in my system tattooedtrackman OP 766 posts 12-16-2023 at 05:24pm @ghdprentice BTW. I really love classic rock and pop. R n B. Little bit of classical and county. If I was gonna look at different speakers It would be the Wilson Alexx V. Happy holidays!!... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC I own one with the network card. Your streaming front end is excellent. No need for the dac inbuilt player. | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC It’s a great dac. The fact that it’s been listed for a while gives you leverage to get a great deal. I went from Qutest to Bryston to Benchmark to Bricasti M3 and the M3 is the best DAC out of them all. Contact the seller just make sure you cross ... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz Tidal’s been implementing what they call “Max”. Basically a non-MQA hi-rez format identical to what Qobuz offers today, up to 24/192. Not all streamers are caught up on it though but it’s becoming available at a steady pace. I have also read that ... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @drlou77 I think your USB setup is as good as it gets right now. Upgrade the DAC. TT2 isn’t a qutest with preamp and headphone amp. It’s a better DAC. Another good choice would be this Bricasti M3 you can probably get a great deal on. Its a bette... | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality @ghdprentice if you don’t mind, how did the higher noise floor playing a CD manifest itself? What did you hear? | |
| Weakest link in my system I hear you. If ARC says don’t run these amps thru power conditioner then definitely don’t. But usually the Shunyata conditioners are passive design and aren’t current limiting. Agree though might not be worth the risk. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @lalitk thank you for the link and the USB recommendations. I’ll look into it. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 I actually think I should be able to access the SSD from my mac as a nas storage. I’ll try it at some point. | |
| Weakest link in my system Shunyata is good stuff and they know what they’re doing when it comes to power conditioners. Have fun and try all different combinations of components with it. Amps and sources, then just sources in the Shunyata with amps direct into wall. You mig... | |
| Streaming DAC recommendation @audiobuddy if you’re using a fanless Mac Mini purely as a Roon core and not running it as a streamer or a household computer, it’s more than adequate to serve as Roon core. Aurender, as it’s been said above, is not Roon ready. If you’re planning... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Thanks @oddiofyl I did that scan after the initial load and there’s still a ton of missing artwork. But I’m not gonna sweat it. I’m just enjoying the new sound I have now…it’s pretty cool what it did 😎 | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 Lalit…not a bad idea to hit up support. I can also pull the SSD out and mount it on my mac to edit the artwork. It isn’t a deal breaker. Just thought there’s a much better way to accomplish it. Not my highest priority - it doesn’t get in a way of ... | |
| Weakest link in my system Cool thread. Some of the replies are entertaining. I’ll throw another funny one in…I’ll stop by, bring a 6 pack and listen to your system to tell you what the weakest link is. all jokes aside, you have assembled one kick ass rig! If I was to be p... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy it did! I will post my thoughts after I get some more milage on the N200 but so far I’m impressed! The Bricasti M3 DAC kicks major butt with the N200 feeding it. |
