| Best way to A/B two different streamers A bi-directional switch is a cheap investment for a quick A/B test. If you’re not concerned or counting on that component affecting the sound in anyway then go for it! You can level match your PC’s output to that of the streamer (pre dac) and comp... | |
| Best way to A/B two different streamers If the switch is configured the way you describe then you are not missing anything. Are you trying to compare the streamers based on their performance with a specific dac or on their own merit? If the streamers are built with their own internal da... | |
| SPDIF splitter @mpomerantz I had posted this same question last year and got a few suggestions for adapters that are available for sale. I didn’t try any of the splitter/adapters as further investigation into other forums gave mixed opinions when it comes to t... | |

| WiFi extension for streaming I’ve ditched the power line extender I was previously using- although there was really nothing wrong with it the mesh definitely maintains higher and more consistent network speeds. The only issue I have is with the mesh unit having to be rebooted... | |

| SPDIF splitter @lowrider57 How’s it going? I has posted a thread on this some time ago as well, was trying to figure out the best way of incorporating 3 dacs from one source. The way I was going to try was with a Mutec MC3+USB- Do you still have your MC3? Hav... | |

| Axpona 2023 That’s unfortunate for everyone involved- you would think if that were the case they would have gone for a larger space (as you pointed out above). It’s hard to imagine 15’ between speakers being a requirement for optimal sound- | |
| My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions? @simao See my post from yesterday- it is the same recommendation that you received from Oppo. I haven’t used Tidal on an Oppo in some time and remember it becoming more clunky as Tidal’s services changed (Oppo app never changed with it). If you... | |
| Does anybody pay a pro to dial their system in? @thomastrouble You definitely are setting up a small room! While there are many great suggestions here in sharing my experience I would say that it does help to hire an experienced professional with the proper measurement gear. When setting up ... | |
| Axpona 2023 Did you happen to see any of the Aries Cerat gear while you were there? I heard Audio Research had some really nice sounding demonstrations. | |
| My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions? @simao Are you planning to move away from the Oppo for use with Tidal completely? Do you have an IPad? I know the Tidal situation is bunk now as far as the Oppo is concerned but I’m wondering if you’ve tried setting up an IPad or phone with a me... |
