| 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... | |
| Graham LS5/5: considered impressions after three months of ownership... Thanks for the fine and thorough review of the LS5/5's. That must have been quite the difficult to decision to give up 26 years of listening to the SP100 for a speaker you couldn't even audition. | |
| Salk Sound Encore 3 or Totem Wind The Encores do tight bass really well. They're fast, non-boxy sounding speakers that weigh 100+ lbs each. I never had problems with boomy bass regardless of the room they were in. I appreciated that they were fairly easy to place also and not huge... | |
| Ideal USB cable length, streamer to DAC? Someone on another forum whose name shall not be mentioned here tested a bunch and found the ideal length was the shortest possible. I believe the best was actually a USB-A connector attached directly to a USB-B but that's obviously not doable for... | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh Scott, @verdantaudio, mentioned it above. Swap components out. Doesn't the Oppo have volume control? Or does it get disabled with the mods? If it still has the volume control remove the preamp and see how it sounds using the Oppo as the "preamp".... | |
| Valve amplification vs Pass labs Pass is a pretty easy brand to get home trials of in the US. What country are you in? I'm not a big fan of the Pass sound but I think I'm in the minority. One member on this board says everyone should listen to Pass, Ayre and I can't remember the ... | |
| Roon….can anyone point me to “human” tech support For the money they charge their support is abysmal. What issues are you having? Maybe some here could help? Audiogon should start a "support" forum and offer sales credits for answers that are deemed helpful. | |
| Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners I'm told Pulsar should be available in March for non-preorders and end of Feb for pre-orders. | |
| Are There Improvements that Can Be Easily and Quickly Made Without Buying More Stuff? If only @mahgister was around...he could give you quite a few "tips" on what to do while spending little money. Your room may look like a mad scientist's den when you're done but you'd tick the not cost much box. I would try using the Sumiko Set... | |
| And the best jazz albums of 2022 were…? As @carlsbad said, quite a few newer jazz albums I try to listen to aren't relaxing at all. In fact, they make me tense. I listen to music to relax most of the time. I looked through Roon and see I added 26 albums Roon considers jazz and only 4 sh... |
