| Tube interference from router Yes I experienced this with eero. Phono stages are especially sensitive to this - they’ll pick up and amplify this garbage and you will hear it thru your speakers. Just run a longer Ethernet cable and move your router away from components and cabl... | |
| Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers? +1 @lalitk @aberyclark what DAC are you using? | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @robert1976 Rob, I think you’re on the right track - addressing room acoustics is extremely important and without getting that done you’ll be chasing ghosts by swapping your components. I just started paying more attention to it as well and it is ... | |
| Usb cable recommendation I liked the DH Labs Mirage in my system. Solid construction and great sound. | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up Thanks @jmfinney I was wondering about Muon as well. Let us know if you get around to trying the Muon on its own. | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up @adasdad 👍 | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up I’m on the Uptone Audio email list for the new EtherREGEN whenever it comes out (no date, parts supply shortages). I will be giving Eno a try hopefully in the next few weeks (placed an order). I also ordered a Network switch with upgraded power s... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up @sns @lalitk makes sense with the streaming DAC. Not excluding the possibility that I will give it try at some point. I’m just hearing for the first time now what my system is capable of and apparently I haven’t reached the ceiling yet. | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up @larry5729 Let’s not derail this conversation please as I feel it is beneficial for a lot of members of this community who stream and have systems/rooms/ears to not need a blind test to hear the difference. Also, power conditioners are not being d... | |
| Looking for advice re: amps for Dynaudio Contour 20i Dynaudio need a powerful amp and they sound their best at higher volumes. I owned the S5.4 and drove them with Pass Labs X250.5. I also tried Rogue ST100 but the bigger Pass amp was better at opening them up. | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up For Ethernet cable I’m using Supra Cat8 which was a really nice upgrade from a generic cat 5. My Lumin streamer and Benchmark DAC3 HGC are connected using Audience AU24se+ USB cable (upgraded by Audience to StudioOne). I agree I can do better than... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up All… Tons of good info guys thanks! @tuberist make sure you use your best Ethernet cable into the streamer. I have already done the comparison you’re about to do. If possible plug the converters into power conditioner. Difference is not night an... | |
| Step up From Rogue RP-5 I owned RP-5 paired with Stereo 100. Great amp but preamps (RP-1 and RP-5) didn’t impress me despite endless tube rolling. I owned several ARC preamps in the past as well albeit not in the same system and not paired with ST100. I’d go for Audio Re... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming @sns I got both units plugged into my Puritan PSM156. And yes planning on picking up a better Ethernet cable at some point. Pretty amazed after another listen this afternoon. Less shouty and more relaxed presentation and it just sounds sweeter an... | |
| Considering moving on from B&W... Good to hear you’d rediscovered your B&Ws. Given the right components and room they can definitely sing. |
