| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? Small Green Computer optical isolation bundle to clean up the ethernet cable signal from wifi extender to streamer. Subtle improvement, nothing major, in clarity and sense of space. For $350, it was worth it to me. Probably similar improvement to ... | |
| DAC suggestions This might be of interest to some. I was looking at the wyred4sound 10th anniversary dac and inquired about the I2s connection for my Jay's cdt2 mk3. It is a different configuration and will not work. The Gustard and denafrips I2s do work with the... | |
| DAC suggestions For under $2k it was an easy decision for me, Gustard X26 PRO, and new for $1,500. | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @curtdr Sangean, I have it listed under my system. I live 40 miles out of Austin in the hill country and yet the supplied cable antenna works flawlessly for multiple stations. The sound on some digital stations is spectacular for radio, maybe 80... | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? Main reason is the DAC is the brain of the digital system, it can not only send a streamer signals to your amp/preamp but also a CD transporter. | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? Room first DAC second | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room Always refreshing to see some members who truly appreciate the value of the room first before the audio equipment. It's like a house, without a solid foundation all you got is a house of cards. Lots of wasted effort and money. Smart of the OP to h... | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room @brewerslaw I hate to say this, but whatever audio equipment you bring into this large room, you will have to make some sizable acoustic treatment investment to get the best sound out of it. Make sure you set aside at least $5,000 to treat your ... | |
| Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital? Interesting to see it does not work for the N200! It's always something in the streaming world... | |
| Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital? Before I can consider it, I will have to wait for a sizable amount of reviews. Will stay on the lookout for them. | |
| Its not vinyl @OP, I talked about that very thing before. I find it weird that many folks are so bent on wanting their digital to sound analog, hence the R2R craze. It really didn't do much for me with the Aries 2 and I much rather the sound of the delta sigma ... | |
| Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital? @blisshifi Thanks about the news for the aurender conductor V3 app for Android, but as it is still in development I will have to wait to see how it is rated once in production. Glad to see they are attempting to address the issues. However I hop... | |
| Its not vinyl Analog and digital sound slightly different. With the right setups they sound equally good so you can just listened to the music rather than analyzing it. I agree with MikeLavigne. He got there with outstanding room setup and equipment, I got ther... | |
| Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital? These kind of discussions somehow often turn into platforms for dealers to promote their products. It would be much more meaningful if dealers sales pitches were separated by the administration from the public's opinions of products they experienc... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @wheelndeal1099 It seems as you already know the answer, room and acoustics. I would never have gotten where I'm at in my journey without starting from scratch and addressing both. All the equipment upgrade in the world in my old listening room/... |
