| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding The albums by jazz guitarist “Ava Mendoza”- particularly “New Spells”. I studied guitar and have played for years yet I don’t think I will ever understand this- have listened beginning to end three times. If someone understands what’s going on her... | |
| 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... | |

| New AES3/USB interface? @hedkase Just wondering if you were ever able to get this sorted out and what was giving you the problem? | |
| GaN guitar amps? @soix Fractal Modeling | |
| Eeny, meeny, miny, moe... Sound like those are good problems to have! | |
| How To Connect a DAC? Yes- there isn’t enough information going to your subs to make a difference. | |
| GaN guitar amps? YES! But I think it’s use would be driven by the style of music played with it. I have a a couple of solid state amps- one is really good when used with acoustic steel string/classical guitars and can be nice for mellow electric. When it comes to ... | |
| How To Connect a DAC? @tcotruvo @audiotroy has offered the simplest way to resolve your query. Use the SPDIF coaxial output of your Node to the coaxial input of the Dac you purchase. From there use the unbalanced rca outs from the Dac to each respective speaker. The ... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender We had internet via cable provider until 2 years ago- 7 Mbps was the max up to my place. Finally a cable modem carrier brought lines up to my area so we went with a 250 Mbps service- which is hit and miss. Even with the old service we could stream... |
