| Schiit Mani 2 No schiit! What did you expect for $149? | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @oddiofyl now the connection makes more sense. I doubt it was the ethernet cable. Some DACs will pop. My bryston dac popped every time it was about to start playing DSD file. | |
| Cable burn in I responded about break in. See above. Everything matters…type of materials used, level of quality. I like OCC copper for interconnects and speaker cables. Remember though in the end you get what you pay for. I wouldn’t be wasting time on $40... | |
| Cable burn in Every new cable I ever bought needed time to break in. Usually between 100-200hrs is enough to get an idea of what it will sound like and most will settle at around 200hr mark. Used cables that were out of the system for few days take between few... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @oddiofyl I had pops and noises when switching digital sources. I removed the CAT 8 between Aurender and DAC , problem solved How was your streamer connected to your dac using ethernet cable? | |
| Tube Rolling for Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 2 Never had that amp but did own Rogue RP-1 and RP-5 with ST-100. I liked gold lion in the amp in 12au7 and 12ax7. For the preamp the best tubes I tried were Brimar CV4003 from Upscale. I also tried rca clear top from Vintage Tube Services (Andy) a... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @samgar2 Verizon Fios routers are crap. The range is extremely poor. I never tried their extenders but I can tell you based on your description of your current setup, something like Amazon EERO would be a game changer and not just for streaming. ... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @samgar2 that’s right. So when are you trying an upgraded cable? | |
| Audio Envy SP12 Speaker Cables +1 @lalitk I’s look for OCC copper cables and Zavfino is it and a great value for the money | |

| Basic Roon Question @carlsbad already answered roon question One thing I would like to add though is you don’t necessarily need roon to play Qobuz and local files. If your music is on the external hard drive pretty much any streamer features a usb input to plug i... | |
| Pass Labs Class A Amplifier Meter Reading Correct. That is a bias meter. On my XA-30.8 the needle normally sits just before the center 12 o’clock mark. When the amp transitions from Class A to Class A/B the needle starts moving past the 12 o’clock mark. Within normal listening levels in... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES Oh and I never called you any names. Not agreeing with your narrative and what you had “set to accomplish “ here doesn’t translate to name calling. You actually just don’t know what you don’t know and you’re not willing to accept that. Pretty simp... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES What are you still doing here? Weren’t you told to gfys and Amir? | |
| ETHERNET CABLES He’s one of Amir’s minions who was sent here on a special mission to stupify us all but failed miserably. He just couldn’t find his way back. Thanks for providing him the right coordinates @juanmanuelfangioii |
