| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? What about Roon’s Titan NUC? Considerably less expensive than your minimum threshold (chosen why?), and designed by Roon, specifically for being a Roon endpoint streamer. | |
| Records and CDs signaforce 102 posts 02-26-2024 at 11:30am Interesting observation on my streamer. The N150 is a current model that sells for $3,500. Between my streamer and DAC, I spent over $5,000. My analog side was just over $4,000 & in my mind sup... | |
| Speaker cable length. @n80 different lengths of the same cable should have different resistance; in this case it should be a vanishingly small figure. Whether it’s an issue for your amp, let alone an audible discrepancy, you’ll just have to find out. | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder @retiredfarmer that’s not inaccurate but I think you might be misapplying the sentiment in this case. In the absence of tractable metrics for a process/device like this, anyone with a reasonable understanding of experimental design (and/or psychol... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box mijostyn 8,010 posts 02-24-2024 at 08:48pm … Exactly, the horizontal array of subwoofers forms a horizontal line source. Who says a line source has to be vertical? … That is a neat trick to use with lower frequencies ( = long-enough ... | |
| Crackle and hiss on some albums A seemingly increasing proportion of vinyl since initial decline in production (1990’s) has QC issues. Much of the original production machinery is long gone, and much of what’s in use today is purportedly not new. Add to that what’s likely consi... | |
| New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be traubr OP 14 posts 02-26-2024 at 03:53am @drmuso My room is somewhat L shaped with speakers in the wider part, 3 windows and 2 doors, listening position on the back wall off center, furniture behind each speaker so there isn’t much "br... | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder Extracted from a thread “Cable Burn-In - Myth or Fact?” at Audio Science Review that Hagerman started about this equipment: “What are the physics behind burn-in? I don't actually know, never been able to figure it out. I have some ideas, but not ... | |
| Do you trust your ears more than measurements? Ah, okay @calvinj . Thing is, DSP doesn’t really require physical space - certain modules fit the footprint of a playing cards deck, with the software run entirely from within the module or upstream in part from a standard computer. Think “desktop... | |
| Do you trust your ears more than measurements? @calvinj for sake of mild curiosity - do you employ DSP in your setup, and if you do, are DSP settings being adjusted by ear? | |
| A quick question on what streamers to consider....... @garebear essentially no streamer is made of parts made in USA, and most streamer brands are also assembled outside USA. So make sure you’re clear with yourself on expectations there. It’s a pretty big ask. The software / OS you deal with will be... | |

| Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear I am a McIntosh owner of many years. Sound Quality: Very good. Some variance between select tracks will be heard, which is to be expected. Build Quality and Design: Nothing IMO to set it apart from the gamut of similar cases, except the ever... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box mijostyn 7,990 posts 02-20-2024 at 10:04pm @benanders The solution to your problem is digital bass management with room control, which is really speaker control. You can change the volume of the subs instantly with sliders for each individual... | |
| Please be gentle with me! 🙏 @alan60 depending on your son’s age and/or technical inclinations, many folks use a DIY dedicated device starting with a single board computer (similar or same as those in all off-the-shelf $treamers). There are free operating systems for such a ... |
