| Innuos PULSE Mini? @soix But, here’s my real question — why, if you’re going to the bother having a DAC constructed, are you only getting an SPDIF input when you have both i2S and AES/EBU outputs available on your transport. Sorry, I guess you have your reasons b... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller At some point, I'll be curious about your views on coupling caps and tube rolling. I have trouble leaving mediocre caps in place that link to the speaker outputs, BUT I need to patient and get a feel for this guy. Getting familia... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller It is good to read that your very early listening experience is quite positive. That’s a very encouraging sign. This amplifier hasn’t even begun to burn-in yet. The sound will only further improve from this juncture. Keep us posted. C... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @jerryg123 I haven’t began my audio streaming yet. I’ll defer to @sns @lalitk and others with hands on experience. Charles | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @oddiofyl Those streams sound good on the Vault but the Aurender is noticeably better in every metric l know that there are many happy owners of the Blue Sound streamer components. I could begin here but reading comments like yours,sns, Lali... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @sns Well stated and I appreciate your insight and perspective. My domain has been CD media which I enjoy immensely and will continue to do so. I am going to take my first step into audio streaming and am really looking forward to it. I’ll take... | |

| New DAC or New Streamer? It’s clear that purely subjective personal preferences rule Sure, how else can it be? It’s audio so you judge and decide based upon listening. You’re going to live with the product as it reproduces recorded music. If one doesn’t enjoy what they... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @sns Thank you. A serious mission you’ve embarked on that is reaping high level sonic reward. Charles | |
| Potential upgrade path… @ghdprentice The advantage of a “smaller” system is that it can be higher quality components because less power and smaller speakers can be involved. We can t... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @sns Congratulations on achieving such a high level of sound quality utilizing Roon. Purely out of curiosity, how many boxes/cables etc does this require? Charles | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @sns I observe individuals claiming great sound quality with virtually all music player software out there, until an objective comparison directly comparing these music players with a variety of streamers is undertaken I’ll assume all can suppl... | |
| Tube-Curious/Pre-amp @painter24 I predominantly listen to Jazz (all eras, all flavours) and am very interested to hear what tubes would bring me; I’ve casually read around, and the description of sound from reviewers and regular users does appeal to me greatly Give... | |
| Snowballs @builder3 hilde45, it’s the FBI’s job to do sketchy stuff these days. Completely factual. 👍 People are selective with their outrage. @thespeakerdude +3 Charles | |
| DAC’s The Zenith is on its own considered a fine music server. So, reclocking may be unnecessary. I don’t believe that some low quality server/streamer would allow the Echo End DAC to shine.It still benefits from a good quality source in front of it. C... |
