| Upgrade from modified Bluesound Node 2i and linear power supply (LPS) ? In all of my testing, I have always gotten an improvement in sound quality when I upgrade a switching power supply to a linear power supply -- as long as it's a good linear power supply. The Sbooster has been communicated as a very good power sup... | |
| pre-amp processor I’m looking for sound quality along with 8k 2.1 hdmi or 4k with being able to upgrade to 8k You could try looking into these two items: NAD Masters M17 V2i (much lower price than your budget, but will likely have an 8K upgrade module in the ... | |
| pre-amp processor The Acurus is both hardware and software upgradeable I don’t think that the lyngdorf is and neither is McIntosh I don’t feel like having to buy new equipment every few years It sounds like you are putting upgrade features over sound quality. ... | |
| pre-amp processor I know the previous McIntosh MX-160 used the Lyngdorf DSP and processing board, but used all McIntosh linear power supplies and audio stages. The MX-170 probably uses the same architecture since it also includes RoomPerfect. That's the way I wou... | |
| Replace Apple TV I guess it comes down to convenience vs sound quality. | |
| Replace Apple TV If you read my post above, the Youtube app for streaming devices such as AppleTV is very poor quality. Video is almost always low resolution and audio is always compressed. You will ALWAYS get better audio from youtube on a computer web browser.... | |
| Replace Apple TV If I get a dedicated player, with no need for AirPlay, how do I watch the video? You can’t. Dedicated players do not have video output. Fuzztone did not read your requirement for watching Youtube videos. | |
| Replace Apple TV I mostly watch YouTube Actually, the streaming devices such as AppleTV, Roku, Fire, etc. all have an absolutely crappy youtube app. The resolution is always poor and audio quality is massively compressed. The superior device to stream Youtube... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC My past experience revealed a distinct difference on how some players or software deal with FLAC. On some software players, FLAC performance is significantly lower than normal WAV. I think I was using an older version of MediaMonkey and it has l... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton You are likely hearing something different about how the player is processing FLAC files when compared to uncompressed WAV type files. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Reason I'm saying this is EVERY format, DSD, FLAC, WAV has their own circuit. I know this because initially I was using my FLAC library and then after about two weeks I started playing WAV, it was terrible. Took another week for the WAV to sound... | |
| pre-amp processor So, did some searching around. I have never been able to find an internal pic of either of these processors, but it seems like there are a couple pages showing internal of the previous MP-50: https://www.on-mag.fr/index.php/video-hd/tests-bancs-... | |
| pre-amp processor I think the Lyngdorf is going to have much more flexibility in configuration. The configuration settings in the Acurus ACT 4 are somewhat limited. That being said, it is probably all about sound quality and I don't know that anyone here would ha... | |
| Will An Anthem AV Receiver Benefit From An Aftermarket Power Cable The truth is that any piece of equipment can benefit from an upgraded power cord. | |
| Laser Projector I looked again. It turns out that the $20k Sony VW915ES is actually a laser projector. It just uses laser to project light onto the SXRD panels for display. |
