| Amp Warranty Repair - What's an acceptable timescale for turnaround? There’s distributors out there that seem to protect the manufacturers like it’s some sort of job security thing. Dealers aren’t allowed to contact the company directly. Distributors attitude is if you want this fantastic product you have to wait, ... | |
| Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording? Yes, please explain. The Dead always cared about sound so there's some great recordings out there but what specifically about Bobby are you writing about? | |
| GR Research/ Jays iyagi speaker cable blind test I agree @htaddict. Comparing a $500 to a $2000 cable is more interesting to me and probably more "fair" but the idea is to see if he could choose his own cable vs a cheap one. I think it says more about the cheap cable than it does about his own ... | |
| GR Research/ Jays iyagi speaker cable blind test Not surprising when it's a cable made to hit a low price point and look good to attract buyers. It's not designed based on how it sounds. Danny picked 8 out of 10, which also shows that most people don't "need" to spend a lot on cables. He even sa... | |
| Preamp Advice/experiences needed I do not recommend an Ayre preamp if you're not using it balanced, which I assume the CJ is not. Ayre optimizes their equipment for true balanced operation. I've used the KX-5 Twenty balanced and unbalanced, same with a non-Twenty version of the K... | |
| Subwoofer Choice It looks like only the 1000 Pro series has speaker level inputs. The Michi has subwoofer outs for dual subs. Each output is mono with the left and right signal summed. | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh You could get a pair of SVS 3000 Micro subs for $1700. They have an app for setup and allow phase adjustment from 0-180, rather than REL’s 0 or 180. I’ve found that alone allows for better fine tuning. REL not having an app makes setup frustrating... | |
| Passion for Sound on Analysis Plus and cost/benefit of spending on cables Thanks for posting the video. I just had a handful of interconnects home and spent about 2 weeks listening to them. They definitely each sound different, some only slightly, but different. The "lowest" level one was a World's Best Cable from Amazo... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Jonah Yano - Shoes (not all in English in case it bothers someone) Lady Blackbird - Fix It (the whole album is great) Daily Bread, Artifakts (it's under Various Artists on Roon for some reason) - Next Level Style (great for bass, really, don't p... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? The streamer in my NT-505 rarely connects to the network anymore also. It's relegated to my bedroom system anyway but I'm getting a streamer (like ifi Zen Stream) that works as an NAA for HQPlayer. The DAC still sounds outstanding and feeding it D... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now Can someone who has a Red answer me this? Can it be used as an NAA using HQPlayer then Airplay or Spotify connect without rebooting. In other words, do you boot into NAA then, to do anything else, you need to boot into "regular" mode? Thanks. | |
| Educate me about DSD Use HQPlayer on a separate computer to upsample all your music to DSD and send to a Network Audio Adaptor (NAA), which in turn is USB out to your DAC. It sounds fantastic doing this if you have a good DSD DAC...which you will. Let me know if you w... | |
| Educate me about DSD You say you have a streamer capable of DSD but do you have a DAC capable of it? If so, what rate, i.e., 256, 512, 1024, etc.? | |
| Is the Rogue Sphinx v3 more similar to the Pharaoh or Pharaoh II? My local dealer setup a Sphinx v3 with the Mofi Sourcepoint 10's, Andrew Jones' new speaker. Sound was amazing. In general I like the Sphinx v3 better than the Pharaoh, which I assume he has the newest one. | |
| Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200 I use HQPlayer with the DAC200. This also opens open your streaming options and setup. Quite a few streamer manufacturers allow you to use their product as a Network Audio Adaptor (NAA). This means you're pretty much using the streamer for it's (h... |
