| Rachmaninoff's 1st Piano Sonata, original version - His Best? Excellent! Both the performance and recording are top notch. It does resemble Brahms at times but is unmistakably Rachmaninov. Thanks again @newbee !!! | |
| PASS Labs Power I never tried the X150.8 but am pretty sure it’s a nice amp. Congrats on the upgrade!!! | |
| Need a big favor picking a preamp Boulder could be right up your alley. But I would go with preamp/amp combination from the same manufacturer at this level | |
| Rachmaninoff's 1st Piano Sonata, original version - His Best? Thanks @newbee I’ll check it out | |
| Help needed to eliminate unwanted noise from tweeter When you have the cd player connected and there’s no noise, is the cd player powered on? If you’re testing it in standby, try to turn it on but don’t play a disc The noise you are describing, is it similar to this? https://youtu.be/ZXtimhT-ff4 | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @essrand Figured out why Tidal sounded significantly worse than Qobuz. I incidentally compared MQA version on Tidal to Qobuz hi-res. None of my digital front end components unfold MQA so it was coming across similar to what the mp3 would sound. ... | |
| Network/Ethernet Improvements Suggestions I do not like the fiber converters - in my system the sound becomes artificial and constricted. I have tried it with 3 streamers with exactly the same outcome. Power supply upgrades for these gizmos is a lipstick on a pig. Do your research and go... | |
| Add a pre-amp to Mola Mola Tambaqui? Here’s a used one. You can workout out a deal. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650010344-mola-mola-tambaqui-streamer-amp-dac/ | |
| Add a pre-amp to Mola Mola Tambaqui? How do you know the Tambaqui doesn’t sound “digital “ if you never heard it? TMR will take it back if you don’t like how it sounds. Not all local dealers will offer this benefit | |
| Network/Ethernet Improvements Suggestions Upgrade the streamer. Without a doubt biggest jump in performance. Just resist buying more tweaks for the network. All you need is the best possible streamer you can get plus a very good Ethernet cable (Eno is that already) Leave the network st... | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade Sounds like you will really enjoy Roon. Give it a whirl. And congrats on the streamer purchase!!! | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade Oh one additional detail..,Auralic Aries G1 wasn’t hardwired to network. | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade I would also like to add a DAC, well At least the section that takes the input and streams that data to the DAC chip. At which point, once it reaches the analog section it ceases to be a streamer because it passes the analog signal to the output R... | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade Ok. Everything is a streamer - your ISP, your router, your mesh network if that’s what you’re using, your roon core and your streamer. You’re 100% correct. And jitter exists between each of these communication points. I hereby (gently) invalidate... | |
| Add a pre-amp to Mola Mola Tambaqui? I don’t own it but thought the Tambaqui has a volume control that you can use with the Mola Mola app…no? I am not a fan of having a streamer attenuate a signal to DAC although supposedly the Leedh is not bad. Also, depends on what amp you’re run... |
