| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? @jssmith The sound quality of streamers only depends upon the analog conversion, which at this point is standardized and audibly perfected. And as a former software engineer, I understand that the rest of the hype is just marketing nonsense sol... | |
| Audio Note Amplifier Kits @jaytor The amplifiers look wonderful! I have no doubt that your additional upgrading has led to marvelous sound quality. Very nice! I have been using 300b mono blocks for years and know what these types of amplifiers are capable of. Charles | |
| Audio Note Amplifier Kits I built a pair of 300B monoblocks starting with the ANK kit but I made a lot of "upgrades" to the design. I am very pleased with the results. I like them better than my Pass XA60.8s Interesting as these are very different types of amplifiers. W... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. Aurender , auralic is a joke they are the first streamer/ dac recommended by 99% of people here and most of this guys are dealers and so on I disagree, the vast majority of posters providing their listening experiences are not “dealers” b... | |
| DAC recommendations @earthbound Is going Wi-Fi wireless a viable option for you? Seems a good alternative if you for example get a good quality tri-band router. I believe that @ghdprentice is completely wireless with his Aurender server and said he has superb sound... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Quite frankly, it sounds great biased at just over 100ma It will be interesting to see what they say. The good news is that the amplifier is sounding great! I’ll take that result every time.😊 Charles | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @lalitk Good points. There are numerous testimonials from posters on this and other audio forums citing improvement when moving from entry level to higher quality servers/streamers. It isn’t a new revelation. Confirmation bias works in two direc... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @marco1 Teddy Pardo is a nice improvement to the Node but the Aurender eats it for lunch Not surprising Charles | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @ianrmack $6K for just a streamer head? You effing kidding me? FWIW, I took a 5V Teddy Pardo LPS into a Bluesound Node and then went USB into a Pontus II and it is about $1,000 and can’t imagine a much cleaner result I can believe this is... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? @ghdprentice I have read comments from listeners who stream via Wi-Fi and are as pleased as you appear to be. Conversely there are those who believe that Wi-Fi is inherently inferior to hard wired Ethernet cable. Have you used both or has it bee... | |
| Streamers and their Fuses Very interesting thread. Will be following along Agreed. Charles | |

| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller Thanks for your thoughtful comments, I appreciate them. Charles | |
| Are measurements the end all, be all? @lalitk Most here would agree with above. If you like what you end up hearing at upcoming Florida Audio Expo then that’s all should matter. Also, it is a great opportunity for you to explore other speakers and gear. My suggestion would be t... | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? @soix This is what Abbas has built for me. |
