| Solo streamer No kidding! I just canceled my Roon subscription because the sound quality thru Aurender (and previously thru Bricasti dac network card) was subpar compared to Aurender proprietary processing. But I’m sure if you have a roon centric component, i.e... | |
| Solo streamer I was looking at Merging dac on TMR but it lacks USB. I’ll read up on Master Fidelity. Thanks @lalitk !!! | |
| Solo streamer lalitk 5,221 posts 08-08-2024 at 01:17am @audphile1 Which DAC did you get? I sold my Bricasti M3. Tried PS Audio DSD MkI, now taking a Chord Hugo TT2 for a test drive. My gut feeling is I am making a full circle back to Bricasti just... | |
| Solo streamer @aldnorab thanks! Good to be back to streaming music. Not sure yet on my DAC situation but I’m getting there…one DAC at a time 😂 Getting used to the new sound. I’ll keep playing around with CLM vs just turning the screen off (not a fan of display... | |
| Solo streamer Yes. I still think it’s the DAC coping with noise. After listening with CLM off I enabled it again. I’ll do some more listening. It’s odd… | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano I’m back in business! Got the DAC. As to the CLM - I can hear slightly more open sound with the CLM off. This wasn’t the case with my Bricasti where I heard slightly lower noise floor with CLM enabled. The current DAC seems to prefer US... | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? @yyzsantabarbara the ask from the OP was about non-PRC units | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? @mike4597 you’re on the right track with replacing the streamer. As to non-PRC options, Aurender is awesome. If you don’t need Roon, a used Aurender N10 is going to be amazing. | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? I’ll let that sorry ass attempt at an insult slide. Not worth the arguing for the reasons mentioned by me earlier. Have a nice night. | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano my pleasure! | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? A simple, well-designed, robust streaming-signal chain should not have an audible effect on the sound of a music file @mdalton The reviewer rattling out such statements as you had posted above is nothing but a description of what the stream... | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? mulchy 11 posts 08-05-2024 at 08:35pm Presumably not with a chorus of beautiful hog harmony. No. It’s still just oinking… | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? @mdalton I didn’t call you a pig. It’s the impossible process of trying to convince you that you’re wrong that I was referring to. You know…the saying…never try to teach a pig to sing; it will waste your time and annoy the pig… Not the same as ca... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference @jeffreyw I wouldn’t doubt you for a second. However I’ve owned preamps and amps of various degrees of transparency and I’ve heard it first hand how an amp or preamp can diminish the differences between changes in upstream components or cables. An... | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano it’s awesome to see you like the N200 and keep raving about it. Keep the thoughts coming. By the way I expect the N200 to at least match the performance of your cd transport/player. I was close to giving up on streaming and and going back... |
