| Toggle between amps Both options presented can work. If you plan to leave the amps on, a switch will be required, but if you plan to enable signal output by turning the amps on and off, a signal splitter is all you need. IMO you can get better signal quality throug... | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components @david_ten Thanks for the context. I 100% agree with your comments on the V / line stage section of this unit. I owned the P 3000 HV prior, and the preamp in the SDV is just as good if not better. I’ve never heard a preamp like it, and I’ve demoed... | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components @david_ten It’s actually really nice to hear from someone else who owns the SDV 3100 HV. I have not heard it with the Taiko, but I own the Aurender N30SA and the pairing is exceptional as well. That said, using the internal streamer in the SDV 310... | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components @david_ten Thanks for sharing. It’s great to finally see a great review on the DAC 200 from a U.S. source. This unit has been one of my best sellers, and I truly think it outperforms DACs up to twice its price or more. It is so natural and effortl... | |
| Sound quality of Roon @sonicfanatic "Timing" does not result in music going faster or slower - it is more about the interpretation of the data which as a result makes imaging more solid, or in the case of poor timing/clocking, makes the imaging sound more flabby or loo... | |
| Upsizing Capacitors @rickysnit It’s typically not good practice to increase the capacitance of any circuit by itself without adjusting the design of the rest of a circuit. In some cases, people may do so say in a speaker crossover, but it can introduce both improve a... | |
| Sound quality of Roon @sonicfanatic I always say bits are not just bits. Yes 0s and 1s are passed from a source and received at the destination, but the final result also considers timing (clocking) and the amount of noise (jitter, interference, power supply ripples, y... | |
| Sound quality of Roon And @sonicfanatic what exactly do you need corroborated? That the quality of a streamer / server will advance the quality of the final sonic outcome? | |
| I think I just smoked my Amp The D400 is a fairly old unit and given its high-current design, I’d be willing to bet that it’s the transistors that got exhausted vs a capacitor going bad. If transistors start to fail they will leak current one way or another and drive the amp ... | |
| Streamer Upgrade @dinov You’re welcome. I’m going to reach out to you via PM to share some thoughts more directly with you. | |
| Streamer Upgrade @willg1985 Innuos’ Sense platform is compatible with Spotify Connect. If you can swing for it, the Innuos will be a better performer overall as well than the two units you mention. | |
| Audio Mirror Preamplifier Thank you Vlad @audiomirror for providing accurate guidance and a solution for people with subwoofers! | |
| Streamer Upgrade @willg1985 Yes I am. Using the N30SA, which is their reference streamer. I came a long way in the last 10 years or so. Upgrading to it made a bigger difference in sound quality than spending even more on a DAC upgrade. After buying the N30SA I sli... | |
| Streamer Upgrade Depending on how much you want to invest, it could be a huge leap in improvement. I went from a whole Bluesound house to in the end having one with a power supply upgrade, moving to a NAD M50.2 streamer which is now discontinued, but was leaps ahe... | |
| Direct Drive There are some incredible direct drives, but their notoriety was largely due to motor noise and vibration. If you are open to user gear, you might want to do a search for an older Technics SP10 with a custom plinth. Other marketplaces have some go... |
