| Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?.. I’m always looking for new music- there’s a catalog that I use which comes out 2-3 times a year, the rest of the time I check new releases on “Album Of The Year” (website that tracks new releases). There’s also Bandcamp- which is also helpful. As... | |
| Speaker Placement and Toe-In @ozzy Congrats to you for sticking with it- my room was pretty challenging so I hired an acoustic analyst to work it out. Thought I’d send this your way though- similar to what has been discussed previously but with a little less ratio. I prefer... | |

| DAC Questions @rblondeau Hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving! Per your last posting I guess you’re realizing there is a lot to absorb- the good thing is there are great components out there within your budget. If you haven’t done so already I would steer ... | |
| DAC Questions +1 @mofojo I buy CD’s and rip via Naim Uniti Core- I have the best possible copy at my fingertips. Not opposed to streaming, I stream when auditioning music before I buy. | |
| DAC Questions @rblondeau I’m not that familiar with Lampizator as I don’t have one but I know the Amber 3 (or at least one version of it) comes with single ended outputs and preamp/volume control. Inputs would be Toslink, SPDIF Coax and USB. If it has the #53... | |
| Long digital or balanced cable run? Sorry! Reading your post it sounded to me as if you were considering implementing a longer coaxial cable from your streamer to dac OR balanced from dac to pre. Even if you’re using AES for digital the document sent will provide you with the distan... | |
| Types of Audiophiles Overall I think Infall into the “Live and Let Live” category but agree with summary @mapman provides as well. | |
