| My stereo is haunted!! Your Bel Canto DAC-3 is also a preamp. Try taking the Modwright out of the chain and use your DAC’s preamp section and connect the DAC-3 directly to your amp. Don’t forget to switch the volume on and lower it on the dac. See if the problem persists. | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality I forgot to mention in my post that I also used Roon for over a year. It is just flat out impressive when it comes to managing your streaming services and local HDD/NAS music as a database that puts everything at your fingertips. It also has this ... | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality I’ve run into sound quality issues recently running Qobuz. I posted about it here. It caused enough grief that I signed up for a 3 month Tidal trial. I have since tested multiple albums to compare Qobuz and Tidal and in 99% of the cases I prefer T... | |
| Qobuz sound quality intermittent issues? @ghdprentice ethernet not an issue. I have one extender close by. I’ll read up on Aurender but so far last two days the system has been sounding great. | |
| Qobuz sound quality intermittent issues? @ghdprentice awesome setup! Had Audio Research CD3 MkII years ago and to this day regret selling it. Can only imagine how good your cd player sounds with years of experience and digital evolution behind ARC’s belt now. Yes you can program the Aura... | |
| Qobuz sound quality intermittent issues? Good all day after the reboot. Threw bunch of different albums at it and it sounds fine. So something is going on either with qobuz or network or the streamer. I also tried it with AES cable and that too sounds fine. @ghdprentice what DAC are you ... | |
| Qobuz sound quality intermittent issues? Thanks all for the replies. I thought I was either losing my mind or my hearing. Good to know I’m not the only one experiencing these nastiness of streaming. I rebooted all network and audio hardware including reconnecting USB cable between AURAL... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 vs Bda-1 Have you compared the bda-3 rca and xlr outputs? What connection are you using on the bda-3? | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. This may be a stupid question…what cables are you using in your system? What source components?if you’ve paired your speakers with warm sounding source component and cables that would potentially contribute to and explain what you’re experiencing.... | |
| Power Cord & Power Conditioner Recommendations I would look for a used Shunyata Hydra 4 or Hydra 6. Get the best 2 power cords you can afford - one for the Hydra (you can pick up a used Shunyata Taipan Helix Alpha 20a for around $300) and one for the Naim. Skip the power cords for the GEs for ... | |
| Quality 1 meter RCA Interconnects under $100? I replaced BlueJeans RCAs with Audience Ohno and it was a nice improvement. In your price range. Check them out on TheCableCo. | |
| Power cord choice? I owned this very same CD player years ago. When I had it I used Shunyata Python Alpha VX and the results were phenomenal. I run a Bryston BDA-3 DAC now with Nordost Heimdall 2 power cable and I like the sound a lot. Plenty of details, low noise f... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. Chord Qutest is hard to beat in this price range new or used. I compared it with Mytek brooklyn DAC + and preferred the Chord for its natural tone and presentation. | |
| Help with first cable upgrade. I would give Audience Ohno interconnects and Audience Forte F3 power cord a try. I’ve used these in my system and liked them a lot. The Ohno bested the BlueJeans ICs and the Forte F3 power cord was a significant improvement over stock power cord o... |
