| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System simple seems to sound best” @mitch2 👍 +2 😊 Charles | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I can continue to test over a long term in a relaxed manner. It’s a fun process so far, and I’m still totally stunned how different the two setups sound from one another. My suspicion is continued burning-in and switching to the AES connection ... | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? Canary Audio Grand Reference 300 B mono amps. 120wpc. a few used on the market No doubt a very good sounding amplifier (I believe "8" 300bs per side). Problem with choosing a push-pull 300b amplifier is that buying multiple sets of these tubes ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Yes, Aurender say the SPDIF/AES outputs are best but this will all depend on your DAC. @lordmelton USB offers greater resolution and DSD and besides that in my system the soundstage is much bigger with USB. Again though the N20 only upsamples ... | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? @emergingsoul Thank you very much for your kind comments. I do appreciate them. Yes, Miles, Monk, Coltrane, Dexter Gordon and on and on. Jazz is my true passion. Charles | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley You have affirmed what I pretty much suspected. The Network Acoustics Muon filtering system is the real deal. It will be a part of my upcoming audio streaming system. Thanks for sharing your latest listening experiences. Charles | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? @jbhiller Hi My audio system is posted on this site. Click my avatar ID. Coincident Total Eclipse II. Charles | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @lalitk I don’t buy the notion that high resolution is always going to sound better. To me, it’s the original master source that matters the most. As time passes I have become increasingly convinced that this is the truth. Original recording ... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @sns Over the entirety of 16/44 sampling rates it continues to amaze how much the lowly cd quality has to give, would never have believed this much info available from where this started in 1980's. I recall just absolutely terrible sound qualit... | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? @jbhiller Your general point was well made. No matter how good a 300b SET amplifier may be, it will still have its limits. The 805 with 6x the power is unquestionably going to be more useful with a greater variety of speakers and listening envir... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk Both Innuos and Aurender makes great streamers and from here on your personal taste of the sonic signature in the context of the rest of the system will ultimately be the deciding factor in your choice of streamer. I am in agreement 1... | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? @jbhiller A fair point with regard to the 300b SET amplifier . I will add however that all 300b SET aren’t created equally for sure. Where some will run out of steam, others continue to cruise along. Three key design factors. 1 Robustness of th... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? But as of now my biggest fear is that I will be unable to part with the Aurender N20. I’ll describe the sonic differences I perceive after I’ve run it overnight, and I’ve had a chance to go back to the Innuos setup for a while An impressive st... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Bill, DIY is simply part of your DNA. I’m surprised that you have resisted the temptation to tinker with your Tron Atlantis DAC. 😊 Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure On the downside, the bamboo ply is pretty expensive... I might pay around $1k in materials for this in total. I’m good with it, though -- I want to shoot for something really top notch on this job, both in form and function. Economically I’d stil... |
