| The Great DAC Mystery Measure twice, cut once. That's my deep thought about it. | |
| Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What? Keep your I2s connection as it is the best sounding connection for my streamer. I used to use USB but realized my CD transport connected with I2s sounded a hair less grainy. So I switch the transport to AES and used the I2s port for the streamer. ... | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. Absorbers, absorbers, nothing but absorbing material in a glass room like that. Diffusers definitely not needed. Tubes and all copper cables also a good approach. Try to aim the speakers with first reflection points at solid walls. She sounds like... | |
| My stereo Congrats. Since you got your end system now, it may be a good time to start thinking about giving it an upgrade in room acoustics. Just a thought. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Listening to music in the Bahamas on any of the speakers on your list sounds divine to me. | |
| Music server recommendations needed. What jonwolfpell just said. | |
| Stack Audio - Anyone knows them? I tried their LAN filter in my system and it muffled the sound. I do have an ultra clean ethernet feed as is, using an optical isolation bundle with LPS into a quality ethernet switch before reaching the streamer, but thought I would give it a try... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 Fuse Issue/Question Sending it back to the music room for a full refund would be my only move. Done it before with zero issue as long as it's done within the return period. | |

| Sound insulation advice for home theater room in middle of the house? @soix Resilient channels slid onto soundproof mounts screwed into the joists is how I did the ceiling as shown in pics and described in my system. Both methods accomplish the same goal, isolating inner wall from outer wall. | |
| Sound insulation advice for home theater room in middle of the house? You will have to do a lot of research on google by looking at people's dedicated listening rooms to pick and choose the methods that would best apply to their layout. You are welcome to start with the construction of my house of stereo under my sy... | |
| Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp? CU AQ | |
| Oh my goodness! @mrdecibel Mr D hit it out of the ballpark about dedicated listening rooms. Without it you are shooting darts without a target trying to achieve sound nirvana with equipment alone. | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment My epiphany is building the house of stereo. Other than still loving to listen to music concerts live, I no longer do much music listening on my secondary system, or my car for that matter, because it is so much less enjoyable. I think a lot of it... |
