| Spotify sounds compressed He is right - spotify is poop compared to Tidal/Deezer. They sound great through ear buds. Real speakers or head phones, not so much. | |
| Is it really useless Upscaling 16/44.1 music to 24 Lewinskih01 - I do mean noise and my puter is very quiet as well. Its also plugged into a power conditioner and APS and sits on a 4 inch maple shade base with the brass points and an isolation brick on top - and I would never let the nasty bugger ... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts AC DC killed it Wednesday night at the Meadowlands in NJ. I saw them in the late 70s with Bon Scott (a few times) and Back in Black with Brian Johnson in 1980 )and at he Garden a few years ago). I have to add this show to my top five as it was kil... | |
| AV Receiver recommends Okyo has not fixed their issues - using stronger plastic doesnt cut it. WE dont want bang for the buck - we want to pay for the quality we get. Pioneer Elite much better than Pioneer but their HT receievrs are class D, which don't do it for me. (C... | |

No preamp meant no midrange warmth and my volume lost too much resolution (berkeley dac and then esoteric k03). You lose res with every redu... | |
| AV Receiver recommends The onkyo and pioneer are rinky dink. The power ratings on the consumer stuff is nonsense. Everyone is 100 watts a channel - probably peak to peak (not rms) when only one channel is running. Load up all 5 channels and its like 30 watts in the fron... | |
| What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice? Socfan12, you will also see you have more resolution, especialy in the midrange and no loss of resolution when you lower the volume. | |
| Simaudio versus Accuphase? Totally agree - simaudio is the Hundai and Accuphase is the Maserati. | |
| What HardDrive Do You Use? I did some extensive research when I put together my DROBO and everywhere I read directed me to not very expensive Western Digital Reds. (I use the WD blacks, 10,000 rpm in my server, on a RAID array). | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, I would definitley not use a source with usb to judge anything. | |
| AV Receiver recommends I had the pioneer elite (non class d amps) but wouldn't get a new pioneer with d class amps (they suck) so I wetn with NAD and it blew my Poneer Elite AWAY. Thee ar some good class d amps out there but not in any consumer grade surround soun d rec... | |
