| Neutral Dac? @schw06 Forget measurements. Forget the cost. What is your definition of neutral and uncolored? How would you possible know that you heard it? What is your reference point that would help you determine that? How do you know that you just heard ... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender @soix I use EERO mesh. No drop outs. Zero issues. One EERO access point connected to my Bricasti M3 via Network Acoustics Eno. Regular EERO is around $170 for 3 units. You’ll have better coverage throughout your house than you would with extender. | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? Good decision @side22olto | |
| Mahler on vinyl - your favorite All…thank you! Streaming and checking the above suggestions, making a list. | |
| Mahler on vinyl - your favorite @singingg did you mean ignore the attached on Kubelik’s Songs of a Wayfarer? I didn’t find it with the 5th… Hope I got the right album. Checking it out on qobuz. | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. Sorry @soix I have to disagree. Speaking of dark sounding cables - Krakatoa and even more so Gargantua. Owned a few of each with different components running different speakers over a period of about a year and always the same effect. Fat, slow an... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? Apple lossless is compressed. CD transport will most likely sound better. | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. @bwguy McIntosh amps are detailed and open sounding. Your B&W D tweeters are resolving and airy. I’d be looking for a power cable that just allows these qualities to shine in the best possible way. It’s really easy to tip the balance in the wr... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? side22olto OP 13 posts 11-14-2022 at 09:22am I forgot to mention my cd collection is ripped to an external drive and then either streamed through the house via Sonos or played directly to the DAC via a USB cable from a Mac. I still manage... | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. I disagree with Jason. But like I said, their landing library is the way to go. The only way you’ll know if the cable is a good match is to try it in your system. I would also wait until the panels are in place before making any changes at all. | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. @bwguy I haven’t tried this cable but tried their lower end model and it was a bit too lively to the point of being bright plus it was super rigid and difficult to maneuver. It exhibited the same sonic traits on everything I tried it on…dac, pream... | |
| Sutherland LPS making sound thin? @gochurchgo Nice! Do revisit the settings after the break in. For me, while my 20/20 with LPS was going thru break in, 100ohm sounded best. However after the break in, 200ohm is where I’m at and prefer it to 100ohm (thanks to @rvpiano for posting ... | |
| Sutherland LPS making sound thin? Linear Power Supply. | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? Audiolab CDT6000 is very good. Being a dedicated transport, it would likely be a nice improvement over the old marantz cd player. But as others pointed out, DAC is at least as important as a transport. The CDT6000 just lays a pretty good foundati... | |
| Sutherland LPS making sound thin? With about 40hrs on it cook it for another week and it should be alright. |
