| Tidal SQ Issues No do not install MQA. I use Tidal with Aurender N200 and I do not experience anything that resembles what you described. By the way with N10 SPDIF is the right connection. With your N150 you should be using USB. Here’s what I would suggesr you ... | |
| Streamer vs Directstream Memory Player Awesome system @gnaudio enjoy! | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative”…..Part 1: I have a plan Unless you’re completely def you should be able to hear differences between amplifiers but visiting the show will confirm or disprove this. meantime there’s another int250 available https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650180311-pass-labs-int-250/ | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative”…..Part 1: I have a plan Do you still have Joseph Audio Perspective speakers? Read the stereophile review where the reviewer makes a few comments that can help you as a general direction for selecting the new integrated. To him the speakers worked best with Pass XA60.5 a... | |
| Streamer vs Directstream Memory Player That’s why I was recommending you try AirlLens. You can use i2s. There’s an optimal connection with each streamer. For example my Aurender N200 has two digital outputs - SPDIF and USB. It’s by far the best via USB due to optimized USB out and the ... | |
| Streamer vs Directstream Memory Player Cool. Then I guess your main source will be CD transport and Roon can be used for new music discovery. | |
| Streamer vs Directstream Memory Player Keep in mind the DSD DAC is praised for its qualities as a DAC but its network bridge is known to be subpar. A high quality dedicated streamer will always beat any DAC’s inbuilt network renderer. If you want to level the playing field (streaming v... | |
| Streamer vs Directstream Memory Player @gnaudio my experience exactly. Except I was running Roon streaming Tidal, Qobuz and Local library into Bricasti M3 using its network card. Dull, not engaging, rounded off leading edges, robbed off energy. I got Audio Lab 6000cdt transport as a te... | |

| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative”…..Part 1: I have a plan ACPONA should be fun. But trying to gauge how good an amp is within a noisy setting of a show and in the context of a completely unfamiliar system and room will not be possible. The $8,000 budget is enough to play on a used market and try a coupl... | |
| MissingCDs and records @rvpiano hopefully you get your hip fixed and recover quickly! as to nostalgia with records and CDs…I think playing records and CDs for a few days should cure it. With the introduction of N200 in my system I do not miss my analog set up. Yeah han... | |
| Where to put best interconnects jafreeman OP 691 posts 01-29-2025 at 03:00am Will place the better cables at source, according to Lalitk. Have SR Atmosphere Eurphoria SX as the newer, and Transparent Reference from 2003 as older, which are ok, but not as revealing. ... | |
| A cable too perfect? Saw it in your system. I will add some additional info for your consideration… At one point I had Gargantua II cords and Absolute copper interconnects together and it was walking a thin line where another warm component ir cable could tip the sca... | |
| A cable too perfect? @zlone good! if you want it even thicker look for Absolute Copper speaker cables. Might be a good match with those Kefs | |
| Where to put best interconnects Best interconnects on amplifier. Best power cord on amplifier. Then work your way up the chain. |
