| Ribbon Tweeters and Animal Hair @parker65310 Even creepier when the wife and I are discussing something and we both get ads within minutes on our phones. | |
| Ribbon Tweeters and Animal Hair @andrewkelley I love them. I am in trial period, and was considering moving to towers, but I might wait and upgrade later when an eventual redesign or new model comes. We shall see. | |
| Ribbon Tweeters and Animal Hair Thanks. My cats aren't interested in the speakers. Was more concerned about hair in the air getting into places it shouldn't. @baylinor I was considering moving to the towers, but might enjoy the 2-EX for the time being. No doubt the towers are lo... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? @perkadin My Denon does not have pre outs, unfortunately. Only the 3xxx series and up does. The cost of buying a new AVR and an amp would be just as much as something more dedicated like the SHD which has better DAC, better room correction, high s... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? I think I’ve decided on budgeting a few more bucks and going this route: miniDSP SHD - DAC, Dirac Live processor for well reviewed sub integration, crossovers, parametric EQ, streamer, balanced and RCA inputs and outputs. Promising high signal to ... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? @mesch I realize not all watts are created equal, and I imagine the Outlaw has clean power compared to my avr. I wonder if there will be a noticeable difference in headroom compared to my 95w Denon AVR-X2600H. Stereophiles measurements said Outlaw... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? Sounds like there may be some issues with Outlaws implementation of DLNA that prohibits lossless streaming both over wired and wireless connection. Kind of a big issue, but I'll try to ask them directly. | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? @213runnin I put in a ticket request with them too. They also have a driver for windows so you can run USB to unit and the DAC functions as the sound card. But yeah, with wifi capability, I hope there's a way to stream from phone for ease. | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? @guy-incognito I'm leaning that direction. My only concern is setting up a way to stream things like Tidal over its wifi. It pretty much ticks all my boxes and looks classic. The separates route is still an option but I feel I might regret it at m... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? @213runnin Do you happen to know if the wireless internet in the Outlaw easily allows for streaming from a phone things like Tidal? I do a lot of listening thru that. | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? I slept in it and will do so for a few more days. At this point I’m leaning towards the Outlaw. Not only does it offer an increase in quality power, but measured pretty well, has a quality phono stage that matches the output of my cartridge (and I... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? @guy-incognito. Given it's from Arcam, I don't imagine it's a cheap amplifier they're using. Having Dirac built in is a huge plus as well. As I mentioned earlier, I'm still attracted to being able to replace/upgrade individual components, but ther... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? @guy-incognito That is definitely a sweet deal/set up. I know watts are not made equal, but was hoping to have a bit more power. That said, 90 vs 110 isn’t a big deal. With the separate route I could have 2x200 and still come in under the cost of ... | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? @213runnin. Finding a quality preamp for a good price is going to be the tricky part. | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? @213runnin Difficult choice. Perhaps the separate components with option to upgrade to better preamp down the line with better bass management would be more flexible for me. That said, the impatient part of me wants everything to be great right aw... |
