| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 @rvpiano Thanks for mentioning this. Have you had any quality and/or reliability issues ? How long have you had the unit ? | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 @thyname İf you think this thread is pointless, why are you responding ? I roughly know what l want but not exactly. I wanted to know the reliability experiences others had. Plus I learned about the pegasus which i did not know about before 😄 | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 @sns My previous argument was for network Ethernet SWITCHES/Bridges (and Ethernet wires), like these devices: https://www.netgear.com/business/wired/switches/ and NOT the DACs. Of course DACs make a huge difference, especially with t... | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 @soix Pegasus looks very interesting indeed. Thanks for bringing it up. I did not know it even existed. I guess splitting the DAC & the streamer is an option. Thanks for all your comments. | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? @pesky_wabbit I think you need to learn how to use google translate 😄 | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? @jonwolfpell That is actually a great idea. As long as the amp is not a class A amp, it can be permanently left on as well, which will avoid inrush current damage, in case the amp is not protected against it. | |
| Audio nonsense I have never understood why having a flat frequency response for speakers is a desirable attribute when the human ear hears almost every frequency differently, as described in the Fletcher Munson curves. My ideal frequency response is equivalen... | |
| Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge. @mulveling Yes you touched a good point about ’availability’ of material. It is difficult to find vinyl pressings for most music created after the 2000s... | |
| Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge. @mulveling Are you aware that you are most likely listening to a digital recording thru your vinyl ? 95% of all vinyl pressed after the 90s is digitally recorded first. But good if you are enjoying your sound. I personally moved from a Linn Son... | |
| Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge. Depending on the quality of the digital source you listen to, thru a good DAC, you will realize how much better the dynamics, noise floor, soundstage and accuracy of the music is, which you would never be able to get via listening to vinyl. Simply... | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? 🙄 | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? @theaudiotweak What a load of bs !!! | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? "I use my ears...." As I said before, a visit to an audiologist will help :-) | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? @nonoise A bit more education for you and the fuse worshippers. Below is a power supply designed by Nelson Pass for a few of his amplifiers. Notice the ample use of thermistors in his circuit to perform inrush current protection. In addition, l... | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? @nonoise As usual, you are missing the point.... If the corrosion is bad enough to the point where it introduces excessive resistance to the circuit, everything will be affected of course. The device may not even power up properly, let alone ju... |
