| Wilson Watt Puppies 50th year Anniversary model Hi @ritter06 sorry I missed your post: Analysis Plus Black Mesh Oval 9. | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain Hi @yyzsantabarbara, because the Vega G2 series has an analog preamp stage, Roon volume control happens on the analog side and doesn't reduce digital bit-depth. In fact that's the main reason I am unwilling to bypass the preamp stage of the Vega o... | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain @yyzsantabarbara I am using fiber --- but up to an Optical Module and then heading back via very short ethernet into the (Vega) streamer, and it sounds distinctly better. What I am not doing is using an oRendu and bypassing the Vega streamer. But ... | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain Reporting back in case it’s helpful to others. On the streamer front: I used a Netgear unmanaged switch (GS108X) to start a fiber moat (I used Finisar FTLF8519P3BNL transceivers), ended it with a Sonore Optical Module and then ran a small ethernet... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppies 50th year Anniversary model I do have them, set up with the Moon 791/761. I cannot compare them with previous WWPs as I haven’t heard them. But my own experience was simple -- and pretty mind-blowing. I was in the market for a pair of B&W 802D4s to go with the Moons, and... | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain @coffee-jerk thanks! Yes I’m familiar with the NSC222 and it sounds great, but a Moon 791 is something I can always do and for me (especially paired with the Moon 761 and which I already have), that takes out the Naim. In any case like many of my ... | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain @curiousjim if I understand the acronym right, me too! Thanks to everyone for the comments and suggestions, and especially to @yyzsantabarbara who is sending me down a fascinating rabbit hole with the optical Rendu. I'm going to settle this first ... | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain @kennyc I completely screwed up (can I change it?) never posted on this forum before. And thanks for your suggestions. | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain Hi @charles7 thanks. Yes I do know what a streamer needs. I’ve had a couple of them for years. But the chat with @yyzsantabarbara is super interesting for me as I’m learning a bit about optical Ethernet connections and like these crazy rabbit hole... | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain @jond that was for our collective amusement. I believe it would be offended if told such a thing! Certainly Claude would be:-) Altair no, given I can always use the dac of the Vega I already have... | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain @yyzsantabarbara, I’m really exploiting your generosity here so please tell me where to get off. I live in Manhattan and have Verizon Fios. I believe it is FiberOptic all the way to the ONT in my apartment, but the ONT has only standard RJ45 Ether... | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain Hi @yyzsantabarbara I like your BTW2 comment! But let me head back to the pre-DAC bit for a second and the oRendu. I have Verizon Fios which is fiber optic up the basement in my apartment building and then distributes via standard ethernet cable, ... | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain Hi @carlsbad2 I believe the Aurender N200 is Roon Ready. | |
| The Streamer-Dac-Preamp Chain Thanks, super helpful so far! I re-read my wordy post. The Moon 761 power amp is a given, I have it and won't change it. So it's really the other components that are even up for discussion here. @erik_squires yeah, I'm tempted to put the Moon 79... |
