| Coax SP/DIF to USB..thoughts? @fuzztone You are using a Coax to USB connector? Tell us more. | |
| How long does it take your tube amp to warm up? If you are talking warm up vs. how long it takes to sound its best, I think these can be two very different things. My tube amps are ready to play, so they are warmed up, in about 15 minutes. However, to sound their best, about an hour or so of pl... | |
| Coax SP/DIF to USB..thoughts? @fuzztone You should swap cables in your system. Until you have done this, you really do not know how much effect they have, and trust me, they have a major effect. | |
| Coax SP/DIF to USB..thoughts? You'll get past your resistance to replace the DAC much sooner than you think Nope. This DAC has bested a lot of others in my system. Not going anywhere. | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? @mijostyn I was told that a SP/Dif to USB converter is not really a great way to go, if one is concerned with SQ. I do not know of anyone who uses this, so no personal experience. Do you have a thought on this? Anyone else use this type of connec... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? I think size alone has little to do with a speaker's capability. Implementation and design are the key here. I would much rather have a small speaker that is designed to work well in typical listening space than a large speaker that is thrown toge... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? @mijostyn I’m old school. The DAC i chose does not have a USB input, as I am looking for the best SQ. I chose it because it is a dual mono DAC and I believe that the SP/DIF connection via Co-ax sounds better than any USB connection I have heard. ... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? I have recently added to my digital system, with the interest in adding streaming in the future. I think the way to go is with a mix of digital and analog. For the days when i want the sound of digital and all that it offers, transport to DAC; whe... | |
| Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas? Since this thread is resurrected, I think it might be useful to highlight something that I have fully realized in the interim years. With the Extrema’s, one is severely limited to the amp one can utilize. That amp needs to be a large powerful ss a... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @ronbocoif you had mentioned in your OP the room treatment in place I would not have been inspired to type a long email trying to be of help. I did not mention room treatments in my OP, as the place I heard the speakers in question was not in m... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? Going 'big' in a small room is a recipe for disaster, which you might know, if you had a clue! | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @lemonhaze I have multiple room acoustic treatments in my room, many of which you can see in my system photos, but you have to be able to recognize them.... Including the Real Trap Mondo Traps that you do not recognize. The subs were dialed in b... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @jim2 Member inna likes to post with absolutes. Unfortunately, this also shows his inexperience and lack of knowledge in this hobby. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @inna. We have now learned that you are the maestro of all that is in audiophiledom. Thank you for your immense all encompassing wisdom. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @lemonhaze Uh..the photos of my room show grey colored panels, which are bass traps! Also, I utilize two small subwoofers, so I know what you are talking about there. Room dimensions are important, luckily the saving grace in my room is not the wi... |
