| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Sorry to hear about the issues and mixed results; most seem to be associated with the higher end DACs and DDC interactions. My experience is based on the relatively simple update on an Ares ii. My experience was very successful. Aside from some mi... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless vs Alternatives Thanks for sharing your experience. I love the sound of Maggies in general… not a viable option for me due to room size and configuration. I’m probably locked into stand type speakers. But it’s helpful that you appreciate the added fullness (whic... | |
| Does Qobuz work Sooooo…. What was the solution? I just signed back up for annual Qobuz after cancelling a year ago. I guess they kept my account credentials in their system as a trial (with the 15 second snippets). After signing back in through my streamer servi... | |
| Ifi Zen Stream with Tidal Connect Frustration Last word on this. The iPad is now working. My iPad settings showed that the Tidal App did not have access to the local network, which is where the ZenStrea was connected. Sooooo…. My bad. Problem solved with input from ifi support and this link... | |
| Ifi Zen Stream with Tidal Connect Frustration PROBLEM SOLVED ! I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else has this problem. The bottom line is DON'T USE AN IPAD WITH TIDAL CONNECT ! The tidal app for ipad is distinct from the iphone or Android apps. The ipad app does... | |
| Ifi Zen Stream with Tidal Connect Frustration In researching this further, it appears that the Tidal Connect app is problematic in general. Web chatter about it is not flattering and offers no real definitive solutions. So it may not be that the root problem was created by ifi. HOWEVER, ifi ... | |
| Ifi Zen Stream with Tidal Connect Frustration Big oversight in my op description…. I’m wired to my router by Ethernet so it’s not a WiFi issue. The interface is a convoluted mess. I’ve got my iPad connected to the ZS using the Ifi.local network connection for setup, which seems solid. Then I’... | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? Iggy and the Stooges- Fun House album… Dirt Louder please…. | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? Another great song by Knopfler is Sailing to Philadelphia about Mason and Dixon drawing the “line”. | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? Mark Knopfler… many of his songs about historical and biographical events. A good example is 5:15 AM from Shangri La album about the 1967 one armed bandit murder. Great lyrics, story telling and nice recordings in many of his songs. He’s obvious... | |
| Really Inexpensive Systems That Sounded Great? Lots of new equipment sounds nice if well matched thanks to trickle down…my thoughts go back to the old days of Hafler pre and amp, Dahlquist DQ10s or Roger’s JR149s (a friend is still using my old ones and they sound great). Tough to evaluate how... | |
| Which LS3/5a? A little off topic, but I tried LS3/5As back in the 70s. While they sounded good, I ended up with the Rogers JR149s with the cylindrical metal enclosure. I believe the drivers may have been the same or similar but found the JR149s to be much les... | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system One of my old time references is “Jim Hall - Live - Toronto 1975”. Especially “The Way You Look Tonight”. This album is a nice natural recording; especially of drums and bass. Nice subtle and occasionally surprising dynamics that don’t sound compr... |
