| Getting into the music @rvpiano great to hear you’re back and enjoying the music! | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? I’ll be blunt - WIIM is a POS and the McIntosh integrated DAC is as well (it’s harsh sounding). Add to this the KEFs and you’re drilling holes in your ear drums. Since you will definitely benefit from a DAC upgrade, I’d start there. Try a warm sou... | |
| Getting into the music @rvpiano I’ve experienced exactly what you’re describing. The first time I hit the wall I stopped listening to my system for several years. I had a very musically engaging system with B&W N803 speakers, Audio Research CD3 player, ARC LS-25 tub... | |
| Streamer question @jzzmusician try the bluesound native app on your iPad - that would be your remote. You’ll most likely appreciate the sound quality especially with the hi-rez albums available on Qobuz. Let us know | |
| Streamer question @jzzmusician it sounds like you’re using the Spotify Connect feature on the Spotify app and AirPlay on Qobuz app. Or the AirPlay feature on both Spotify and Qobuz apps. If that’s the case, you need a streamer that is AirPlay ready. One example wou... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz Tidal sounds better to me 90% of the time. Neither is perfect though. There are albums available on Tidal that you won’t find on Qobuz. If you can afford to keep both, that would be the way to go. | |
| 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 @stereo5 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... |
