| PC/stereo setup and/or cable question Yes. I neglected to add the router. Can anyone attest to the sound quality of the USBridge?i have a pretty transparent system. And the whole goal of this is the hope of a bit of sound quality improvement from replacing the 30’ USB. | |
| PC/stereo setup and/or cable question I'm looking at the Allo USBridge, but the terminology is a bit too technical for me.Would I run it like this: NAS>ehternet cable>PC>ethernet cable>USBridge>USB cable>DACI run Jriver, so I think my PC needs to be in the mix. | |
| PC/stereo setup and/or cable question I’m researching all of these suggestions, but this is all new to me. Dave and Troy- I’m not sure I understand what you’re suggesting. Thanks all. Still open to any suggestions. | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ Seriously, as someone who has demo’d over 20 speakers before choosing D7’s, the Be speakers rank in the top 10-15% of forward-sounding speakers. The classic Spendor ( non-D series) rank in the bottom 10-30% of forward sounding speakers.Spendor D... | |
| Power Conditioners I purchased the Audioquest Powerquest 2 at my dealer's recommendation. I was returning a $1,000+ power conditioner I had been demoing and decided against buying. I was thinking there was no way in the world a $199 unit would work. But it did. Ther... | |
| Where to go in Portland... I agree, ieales. That question was asked as if there was only one Portland. LOL. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? Lol. There’s one more possibility...And I never said it was a cheaper cable. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? Wow. I really didn’t want to go there. And, while having lurked here for many years I’m new to posting. I don’t know this individual. But, I can see why people share a negative opinion of this person. It’s like talking to a know-it-all brick wall... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? Yeah, sorry dude. You’re nuts. It’s not placebo. It’s quite the opposite. I expected it to be the same and it was not. This has nothing to do with good hearing. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? To add to my thoughts- I was so convinced there would be no difference I purchased a $30 cable. This was not some fancy audiophile cable. I would equate the difference to swapping speaker cables. I have no idea what a test would show, but clearly ... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? I have a Chord Qutest ($1,800). And again, the point of the new cable was *not* an attempt at better sound. But the difference in sound was definitely there. And, no I wasn’t running the amp loud. 9:00 on a knob that starts at 7:00. I was of the m... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? If you’re asking me, I have a Chord DAC. While not cream of the crop, it’s not a piece of crap, or a Schitt. And how is a DAC supposed to correct it? The DAC will do what’s it’s supposed to with the signal it receives. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? I’m late in responding to this, but I agree there is absolutely a difference in digital cables. I run USB from my PC to my DAC. I recently changed the cord due to relocation of my DAC. I did NOT do this in order to achieve better sound. I thought ... | |
| New to audiophile and need HELP. Pick up some of the Andrew Jones Pioneer speakers, or ELAC's. You can get them for a couple hundred bucks a pair (I paid $100 new for a pair of Pioneer's). They are amazing for the money. Are they perfect? No. However, to most non-audiophile folks... | |
