| Ethernet Switch Recommendations Please @tntmcdade 👍 | |
| Ethernet Switch Recommendations Please @tntmcdade if a switch is absolutely necessary then go for it. Otherwise I would sell the T3 and the Melco switch and invest in a better quality streamer or a streaming DAC if you use Roon with good Ethernet cable. Better ROI than a switch. IMO. | |
| XLR recomendation AZ Absolute Copper (used them for few years) is a good recommendation if you are looking for warmer, thicker sound with big bass (could sound bloated depending on the rest of the system and room). I moved on to Nordost Tyr 2. Better balanced top t... | |
| A reasonably priced DAC upgrade from Schiit Gumby Chord Cutest is a good option. Has filter settings that allow you to tailor the sound to your liking. Excellent DAC that won’t break the bank. | |
| From pass xa25 to krell k-300i What preamp, source and cables are you using (power, speaker, interconnects) | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing Getting a $6k streamer and connecting it to Schiit doesn’t make much sense. I would sell the BS and Schiit and pick up a used Bricasti M1SE with latest MDX and a network card around $5k-$6K then use iPad with Mconnect app (I think it’s about $6 to... | |
| New computer for Streaming???? You have a Bricasti M1SE with a network card? All you need is MConnect app on your phone or iPad and a Qobuz account. Don’t use computer for streaming. If you decide to go with Roon, use computer to run Roon Core. But don’t use it for streaming. T... | |
| Magnepans and dogs   jrsyby OP 8 posts 10-14-2023 at 03:04pm ...but still curious about others’ experience with dogs in their listening rooms. Our previous dog liked the Martin Logan Montis and my Wilson Audio Sabrina. He wasn’t a fan of the Dynaudios (... | |
| Magnepans and dogs @stereo5Â I pushed thru this just recently. What you said, almost word for word, reflected what I was saying to everyone. We finally got a new pup and It took me months to acclimate and build a relationship with her. I still love and miss my old bu... | |
| upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty) What are the dimensions of your room? | |
| USB Cable Forget USB cable. Get a streamer instead. PC doesn’t compete with a dedicated streamer. But if you insist on a cable, the Mirage is very good for the money. | |
| Seller Unresponsive after payment. Negative feedback is in order here after all is said and done - this is not a positive experience by any stretch of imagination. | |
| Seller Unresponsive after payment. Open a dispute with PayPal. It sounds like he’s buying himself some additional time. | |
| Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC @docroasty I went from Benchmark DAC 3 HGC to Bricasti M3. To my ears, in my system/ setup, the M3 is a superior DAC. It is more refined, has more natural tone and overall a better build quality. Its preamp section leaves the HGC in the dust as we... | |
| SabrinaX Sub-Crossover @upstateaudiophile yes the Sabrinas are revealing and benefit from top notch cables. I like the Audience AU24SX speaker cables in my system. If you can locate a used set, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Great value. |
