| Basic questions for newbie Speakers - Sonus Faber Electa Amator II I have never quite understood the language for describing reproduced music but here is my best shot: I listen to a lot of female vocalists, some jazz, a lot of music that is spare, with some space to absorb ... | |
| Basic questions for newbie Thx. Ok so if a longer cable isn’t too big a pain, then now what about headphones? I have no clue about them... | |
| What/who do you listen to that you feel is a bit of an unknown? @bgoeller I just sampled From Night to the... on Qobuz and then tagged of her albums to listen to tonight. The brief sample sounded extraordinary. Thx | |
| Another streaming newbie Ok, at last... I got the Pi2aes this week. All excited, I built it, and after a few fits and starts, it looked all fine. Except no sound. 2 days later, it was finally just a total reboot, erase the microSD and start all over, and ... poof, it pl... | |
| Another streaming newbie I just ordered Rasberry Pi based PI2AES. I am right at my $2k budget. Yggdrasil GS plus this streamer. This will sound better, be more user friendly than my phone and I am not unhappy with what I am hearing already. My takeaway: DAC is a big deal... | |
| Another streaming newbie Ok, now I can stream from phone to Ygg. I learned the hard way in that A/B tests are the path to endless tinkering. Some people like that and I once did. But now, there's just one question: do I like it? Yep. It's really nice. I never learned ho... | |
| Another streaming newbie I am always mystified by music reproduction. Forget the fact I am listening to music recorded 50 yrs ago that sounds great today. But more than that, the technology that records, translates a musical instrument & music onto a medium (analog or... | |
| Another streaming newbie It’s just sweet. With a $75 blue ray player that’s 5? yrs old. So it’s gotta be better and this is plenty good. The one place it struggles with dense music with a lot going on, gets kinda mushed together but that probably takes serious money to fi... | |
| Another streaming newbie Yggdrasil arrived today. Alas, they failed to ship the usb to RCA cable I need, so 2 more days until streaming test. My old Yamaha CS player has no digital out, but my very cheap Samsung DVD player does, so... at least I can hear CD's thru the DAC... | |
| Really need help choosing audio streamer !!! Microrendu was suggested to me, on sale by Small Green Computer for $430. Can't vouch for it, as I am new to all this and looking for a similar budgeted streamer...Also pi2 design is an alternative to Signature. | |
| Another streaming newbie Oh, and pi2design, also... Again thx. | |
| Another streaming newbie Is it 'superbestaudiofriends?' Must be... | |
| Another streaming newbie Hey @jeffjazz thx! Ok, i will check audio friends out. I keep hearing some units take a month or so, others seem to be good out of the box. To be honest, part of what sold me (besides the reported high performance/price) was their web site tone ... | |
| Another streaming newbie It arrives tomorrow. I am checking my watch oh about every 23 minutes. I will likely get a r pi-based player. Just going to do things one step at a time. If I wait a month or three then my sense of what I want to spend can open up a little. I am r... | |
| DIGIONE SIGNATURE PLAYER I am trying to figure this out, too. There are a few videos on youtube - John Darko, and somewhere among them some info re how to setup the OS for it, the options, etc. It is hard to get info and it's also hard to buy all you need (if you put it... |
