| Ethernet Wiring @zlone Is it possible that the TP-Link extender is introducing noise into your electrical power? Similar to what dimmers do in home wiring? Are you using any power conditioners? | |
| Is Qobuz Customer Service an Oxymoron? I hope they fix it someday because I like and use the service | |
| Chinese DAC's I bought my Chinese made Gustard X26 Pro on Amazon a few years back. I enjoy the clarity and soundstage I get, particularly using the I2S input. In my room it sounded better than a Chord Cutest and a similarly priced Benchmark. I just got on ... | |
| Pimping your router I'm a little confused here as well -- I've seen both side to this argument about a dedicated router for my renderer. Over on Audiophile Style they talk about Unifi equipment. Anyone over here use it? Of I'm using Jplay on my iPad to access Qobu... | |
| Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you! @knever curious about your experience with the U18 -- what DAC are you pairing it with? are you using an external clock? | |
| DDC Comparisons @sls883 thanks for the tip - | |
| DDC Comparisons @soix The Denfrips is over $100 cheaper, but the ease of Amazon returns might make it a good possibility.... | |

| HQ Player for Dummies @milpai Cool - so you are accessing the files through your network via an ethernet cable connected to your PC and your "PC" is not an off the shelf unit but something you have made, correct? and that's what you're calling your "server"? | |
| HQ Player for Dummies @milpai thanks. yes I suppose my opticalRendu is a computer... Before I started streaming I listened to WAV files via Foobar, now I mainly stream (and listen to vinyl), but I’ve always wondered if it made sense to listen to files that I own throu... | |
| HQ Player for Dummies Sorry if this is a stupid question: HQ Player is to be used on a computer, correct? For playing files that you own, as opposed to streaming? If I buy a DSD file from Qobuz and want to play it, I can put it on my NAS and access it through my netw... | |
| DSD coming to Qobuz streaming? couldn't one access an analog master tape and produce a DSD file from it and bypass any other conversions? | |
| Gustard A26 @magon - I have not heard the A26 but if you live in the US you can buy one on Amazon and return it to Whole Foods so it's pretty low risk. I do have an X26 Pro. I'm looking at your connections with the DDC. I think I read on this forum that if... | |
| Home network router question how about this: changing ANYTHNG can have an impact on a system's sound. there is a lot to say about the synergy between components. like certain power amps work better with some speakers that others. this makes saying that one wire is more imp... |
