| Need help with a hooking up a sub. Unfortunately, no pass through on the Theta. Everything in gets digitized. What really would have been nice is if Theta had a DAC that supports MQA and is Roon-ready. Apparently, not going to happen.As to the Parasound, I really don’t want more bo... | |
| Need help with a hooking up a sub. Oh, and an Oppo 4K disc player (203?) that never gets used anymore | |

| I just don't get PC Audio Hi Clio09, I'm very interested in your impressions. Vincent certainly seems to know what he is doing. What exactly is he bringing over? VRS seems to be heading towards a software rather than hardware solution. David | |
| I just don't get PC Audio Well, I jumped in head over heels. Started with a Wavelength Audio Crimson DAC run from Itunes, and now have a Blue-Smoke server run to a Berkely Audio Alpha DAC. For me, the sound is the thing. My current setup is far more enjoyable than the esot... | |
| Blue Smoke Entertainment System Well, I've had the setup for about a month now. I'm currently using the new Berkely Audio Alpha DAC. The performance of the two together is, in a word, spectacular. Resolution, dynamics, bass, it's all there. No digital harshness or glare, which i... | |
| Blue Smoke Entertainment System I just got mine and it is spectacular through an MSB dac. I have a tact that I'm going to try, as well as the new berkely.David Shapiro | |
| Sooloos music server: Anyone hear, anyone a dealer Hi All, I have a Blue Smoke server on order. It was put together by a local dealer, Ron Laporte at Ultimate Audio in Deerfield , Illinois. They recommend a mid-level DAC by MSB. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks how it is.David Shapiro | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Looks like they went down a very similar path.David | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Hi Kana813, He'll be exhbiting a purpose built PC with solid state memory and only one moving part, a queit fan. The Vista OS has been massaged both by Ron and his partner, a computer guru who retired at 38, etc. They chose the midlevel MSB DAC, s... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Hi All, I am still very enthusiastic about the concept. As I also posted, in my system the Crimson simply didn´t have enough bass dynamics. I´m talking about the grunt that you feel with a drum thwack, not flabby, boomy bass. I auditioned the AMR ... | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Interesting view on room treatment, and one shared by both Gordon Rankin and Charles Hanson. Both of these guys, after I asked, don't use treatment at all. They both prefer lively, minimally damped if at all rooms. I am very interested in trying o... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? I'm in the process of evaluating systems. One of the adfvantages of a digital rather than USB output will be the marriage of the server with digital room correction software. Not to take away the necessity for at least some passive room treatment,... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Hi Brontox, No problem about the Crimson. It has a new home. I'm still firmly committed to the server concept. I'm trying out another USB DAC, but I've also auditioned a purpose -built PC running into an MSB Platinum DAc that was stunning. The sec... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction Hi All, This is a very intriguing thread. I used to have a Rives Parc, which helped with some bass problems, but tended to depress the dynamics of the rest of the signal. I am starting to research different room correction systems, although for my... |
