| Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... @hilde45 😆 I warned you on the second post of the thread in question to be careful or you may stir the wrath of “ “ (I dare not say the name). | |
| HDMI from TV for longish run to stereo system Not sure what you consider expensive to be but here is one that should work. 30’ is really not that far. You can do fiber as well just be prepared to protect it. HDMI cable w/boost | |
| Why is so much music recorded out of key? @alvinnir2 Not sure exactly how it got started but that is what I had heard when I first asked the question. When I first started learning I always tuned the guitar to my folks piano only to walk back to my room, put on a record to play along wi... | |
| Why is so much music recorded out of key? When I was younger I played guitar constantly- rarely was A440 tuning used. Most rock guitar players followed the 1/4 step down tuning- others standard. It was all about the range of the vocalists. There are many others as well- Drop D and open tu... | |
| DSD Remastering Software Experience I’m now using an R2R DAC that can upsample or I can use in NOS mode and I prefer the latter @soix Which Dac are you using that performs in both capacities? It seems I’ve read about this in the past but can’t seem to recall who builds it. | |

Just a thought as some files are manipulated from lower resolution prior to being available for download or streaming. I’ve... | |
| Converting my CD Collection from .FLAC to .WAV Got it. You have nice equipment- should sound good. JRiver’s conversion to WAV is done in memory (as I’m sure you know) so as long as that requirement is met I don’t see it affecting your Dac. I agree that starting from WAV to begin with would be ... | |
| Converting my CD Collection from .FLAC to .WAV What transport and Dac are you using now? Which is burdened with the conversion and what processors are in the circuit? Depending on how the circuit is designed it may not handle this extra step without robbing you of something else (which you’ve ... | |
| LHY OR SBooster LPS @mesonto I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts once you’ve made this change. Not sure how long you’ve had your U2 Mini but hopefully you’re familiar enough with the sound quality to know how much of an improvement is made with this upgrade. ... | |
| Converting my CD Collection from .FLAC to .WAV Heard this argument since FLAC began- any form of file compression (math theory or not) is no longer truly lossless. Rip to WAV- storage cost is not the concern it once was. | |

| Best amp for Salon 2 I’ve not heard a two channel setup using Anthem- only 5.1:so I really can’t comment there. I would say if you’re preferring to go with solid state try to get an audition with Plinius as well- they are a very robust product. Personally I would go ... |
