| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER In the camp of preamp here. An absolute necessity to feed my amp both multiple analog and digital sources. As for sound, the wyred4sound STP-SE stage 2 is wonderful, passive until 64 db, active above. With my dac set at max volume to bypass its pr... | |
| Specific i2s cable for use with Sonnet Morpheus DAC & 3rd party DDC It's at the very bottom of the shenzenaudio gustard x26 pro specifications page. | |
| Specific i2s cable for use with Sonnet Morpheus DAC & 3rd party DDC You are correct to want to find out exact I2s configuration of both. You need to find out from manufacturers themselves. As an example the configuration of the Jay's cdt2-mk3 and Gustard x26 pro are identical while the PS Audio CD transport is no... | |
| Corner base trap- to the ceiling? If you are serious about it, all the way to the ceiling. Upper corners are just as important as lower corners. | |
| Room Too Dead Simple answer: Diffusers. My room was too dead to start with with too many absorbers. Adding diffusers at first reflection points made a major difference. Then I kept adding more on back wall and back of sidewalls. | |
| Does an upgrade make sense? A 36'x36' square room is your biggest issue to tackle. Not sure what the solution is but this will always be a tough room to get maximum audio quality in. Definitely work on any acoustic treatment recommendations first before moving on to equipmen... | |

| Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”? @sleeeepguy Forget blankets and pillows, if you can afford the Sabrina X, no reason not to experiment with a variety of acoustic treatments. Best way to start is give your room layout to Gik Acoustic and they will give you suggestions for free. ... | |
| LP Thickness/Taper I always set all cart adjustments with it aligned exactly half way in the middle of the record. On my VPI Classic TT it specially matters for VTF and anti skate. But it would also be beneficial for azimuth if all records are built like the one you... | |
| The latest audiophile streamer craze Try aluminum foil UNDER your streamer. The clarity will blind you. | |
| One key to building great systems over time. My one advice is: More important than money spent, upgrade ONLY one thing at a time and give yourself some time for it to break-in and therefore you will be able to identify the differences it provides. If you don"t, you will never know what did ... | |
| Upgrade from Bluesound Node Correct about Amazon, I have it through a bluetooth antenna on my Gustard dac and Qobuz on my Innuos streamer. BTW the new Amazon HD at 10 bucks a month is surprisingly close to Qobuz in sound and I have found certain records I could not find on Q... | |
