| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? +1 to everyone who responded. You've given me hours of enjoyment and exposed to me to a lot of new / old artists of who I wasn't aware | |
| What is your favorite budget streamer? Raspberry PI and a PI2AES or just a PI if you only want USB. PI2AES with AES is now only $200 and $150 if you don't need it so you'll have money left over.to invest in a good power supply | |
| What is your top sexy song? Sam Baker Button by button | |
| Six DAC Comparison @debjit_g I'm currently using Thesycon JLsounds_USBAudio_v5.58 Which Windows reports as I2SoverUSB | |
| Six DAC Comparison @debjit_g I'm using the most current USB driver. For Windows it doesn't show up as Mystique but works just fine. I've also tried an older driver which sounded the same so I reverted back figuring they must have a newer version for a reason. N... | |
| Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What? I'll be 70 this year and depending on your streaming service your current setup should sound pretty darn good. The PSAudio MK 1 is a nice DAC. I have one and it took me a ,long time to finally upgrade it. I fed mine with all the inputs USB, AES,... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Depending on your speakers a true end game amplifier that you wouldn't want or need to ever upgrade is the SE84UFO25 by Decware. Two of the most musical watts out there. The Decware owner actually made the first amp for himself as a state of the... | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay I'm not sure you can buy air by the pound. Can I ask how you arrived at 3K? We all live in a budget I realize but are you looking for the last DAC you'll ever buy or just an interim DAC until you're financial situation improves? If I'm just vot... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? If Etta makes you want to move , isn't that Prat and if it's just meh isn't that lack of PRat? I suspect you're already PRaT maxed out. As a musician timing means something different than what it means to a typical listener. The beat is on the... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? Etta James: Miss Pitiful I find it almost impossible to not become involved move and get excited by this song. How this differs from PRAT I guess is how the stereo displays it??? How does PRAT differ from "Man that sounds good"? | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 As the owner of a recently purchased Mojo-Audio X SE I agree with comments regarding it's sound signature. I don't have the Z chips or the nano-crystalline (NC) chokes but even so the sound is full and engaging. I don't agree with dif... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Another option is to use a networked endpoint as the interface. The PI2AES is an option that can be improved with a power supply upgrade and maybe Fibre Optic networked isolation. https://forum.hifiguides.com/t/streamer-ddc-showdown-pi2aes-vs-so... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move Have you considered corner horns? Volti has a Khorn upgrade kit that added to a used pair of khorns will be in budget and compete with the best. That was my plan but my corner horns sounded so good that I focused on all the electronics instead a... | |
| Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955 The 2 to 3 prong plug adapter is your friend. I lived like that for over a decade without an issue. Actually lifting the ground with the adapter will make those with grounded receptacles sound better | |
| Upgrade speakers or DAC Speakers should be the first thing you base your system on and then eventually the last item of the upgrade. All speakers have an unique presentation. When you find that signature sound that you prefer, speakers become the foundation for which y... |
