| What benefit does a DDC really do for a DAC? The general consensus is it really shines when wanting to turn a USB feed into a I2s connection to the dac. It does wonders for me. Innuos zenith mk3 USB to DDC U18 I2s to Audio Mirror Tubadour V. The veil being lifted saying is no exaggeration in... | |
| Does USB cable length make a diference? Sls833 is correct, 1.5 meter is ideal for USB. | |
| Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it? Came across a good deal on hifishark I couldn't pass up. Used Audience front row phono cable. Easily the most transformative cable I ever experienced. | |
| Tampa Audio Show 2025 It always goes back to it's all about the room, regardless of the price of the equipment. Short of trying equipment in your own listening room, a lot of time will be wasted in evaluating equipment in other rooms, regardless of the audio show. | |
| Qobuz and Chandos It happens with some albums, about one every 30 in my case. Not sure about classical titles, but when an album in my Qobuz library can no longer be found, I usually can find it on Tidal. My best guess is the owner of the rights to the record(s) no... | |
| Rythmik Audio on The Intellectual People Podcast I am lucky to live near Austin, so I was able to pick up my dual subs directly from his warehouse and got to meet the owner Brian and got all the info I needed. Couldn't be happier with the service and my F-12s. That was years ago. Got introduced ... | |
| Treating the ceiling and floor, who else has had great results? They perform real well if you use them over large areas. By example, I have 28 sq ft on ceiling, 8 sq ft on each back sidewalls and 15 sq ft on back wall. Of course the 6" deep wooden diffusers I have at both first reflection points diffuse in ano... | |
| Treating the ceiling and floor, who else has had great results? @jeffbij Been there too, over damping the room. Biggest fix was diffusers at the two first reflection points on sidewalls. Also using strictly diffusers on ceiling. You can see multiple pics on my house of stereo system. | |
| Do you listen to your music with your eyes open or closed or a combination of both? Always open, like at a concert. Isn't it what most audiophiles strive for, reproducing the sound of a live concert in their homes. Who closes their eyes at a concert? I don't. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. After attempting to read this discussion, I got a hangover now. | |
| Who's winning? The one who doesn't care. | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. LMAO @ghdprentice | |
| Cork room treatments @sandrodg73 Interesting product buy I never used it. Just looking at it, the cork material should have a little bit of absorption and the design a little bit of diffusion. However both would be very minimal since it is not thick enough for true ... | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! In the correct room, louder sounds incredible. It does in mine. However my 70 yr old ears wouldn't take well to anything over 75 db for long sessions. But this way I should have many more years of high quality listening. 70 db is what I shoot for ... | |
| Tuner choices: Tandberg or Luxman? Can't help you with those two. I do have a new Sangean HDT-20 Digital AM/FM tuner and it performs real well with a simple indoor cable antenna. No vintage tuner issues to deal with and hi res to boot. Win, win. |
