| Used TechDAS Air Force III vs New Feickert Firebird with Kuzma Safir 9 vs SME 20 MK 2 @rauliruegas What about the Hayabusa with an older SME IV.VI arm? | |
| MSB Discrete DAC - Roon endpoint Renderer vs Lumin Streamer @cosmic_charlie Do any of these players/streamers import/rip SACDs? | |
| Used TechDAS Air Force III vs New Feickert Firebird with Kuzma Safir 9 vs SME 20 MK 2 @rauliruegas Sorry I haven't spent a lot of time investigating cartridges yet. What is a high compliance cartridge vs low compliance? What I would like to use since I already own it! Is a Mutech Hayabusa MC Cartridge. Thoughts? | |
| Custom DC power cables - MSB DAC, Dan D'Agostino...etc I assume DC is less susceptible to noise? or is the MSB cable also using lower power AC to the DAC.... | |
| MSB Discrete vs Premier Ok just didn't know if there was a consensus. I assume it also depends on your player/streamer so the mac mini via USB might not win over the renderer but an Innuos via USB might. I wish they had an SFP renderer to get network straight from my... | |
| MSB Discrete vs Premier Well my budget for digital right now is a little less as I'm also looking to upgrade my turntable. If I were only going to purchase one module should I just do a renderer and gigafoil and use the discrete as a Roon endpoint for now. Keep the b... | |
| MSB Discrete vs Premier And the director works with the discrete DAC? | |
| Wilson Alexia V seating distance I had them toed in pretty extreme but they were far apart....maybe 10 feet wide and i was sitting 8 feet from the tweeter. Room is NOT traditionally shaped. The randomness of the room makes for some good acoustics I would say. I don't think th... | |
| Wilson Alexia V seating distance @gpgr4blu Thank you! | |
| Wilson Alexia V seating distance Read another manual and it says I should be between the 1.1 and 1.25x. So just wondering what happens in the near field. I read a stronger phantom center. | |
| Wilson Alexia V seating distance Cardas says 1x distance. What happens if I'm closer than 1x. If speakers are 10 feet width and I'm seating 8 feet away? I assume I'm in the near field. What do I lose in this near field. | |
| MSB Discrete DAC - Roon endpoint Renderer vs Lumin Streamer I assume they all have some sort of computer in them. It's not like these small companies can afford to build custom chips. Maybe custom FPGAs like the company Analogue which makes custom video game consoles. I do like the ones which have a c... | |
| MSB Discrete DAC - Roon endpoint Renderer vs Lumin Streamer @cosmic_charlie Will the Innuos Zen mkiii rip SACDs onto a drive? Looking at the inside of it online....looks like a small PC with an outboard power supply and a CD drive.....is this really that much better than an m2 mac mini with a custom p... | |
| TV audio into DAC via eARC or better Interesting. I forgot I have a Mutec reclocker I use to use for my DAC but I removed it for USB when I upgraded by Schiit Yggy a few years back. I should try it on my TV audio! https://www.mutec-net.com/product_mc-3-plus-usb.php | |
| TV audio into DAC via eARC or better @lalitk No need for Atmos. Toslink is pretty old technology I assume ARC and eARC can send even 2 channel stereo pcm at a higher bit rate to the dac. eARC has a bandwidth of 37Mbps where toslink is only 384kbps https://www.avaccess.com/blogs/... |
