| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? VTI makes a couple of 19 inch steel stands you can use fill. Try standsandmounts.com | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws Wouldn't the elasticity of MDF or plywood make more difference than the material of the screw? Stainless Steel screws would probably be the strongest. | |
| A case for Hi Rez Digital mahler said it better than I ever could. I quit vinyl and never looked back. | |
| PC/stereo setup and/or cable question If you don't need the PC in the chain you could use a raspberry pi4 running Volumio connected to your network and place it close to the DAC and use a short USB cable. You would need a tablet, phone or your PC to control Volumio through a browser. | |
| USB sucks If you're having problems try a Benchmark DAC3.Benchmark's USB system supports USB Audio 2.0, DSD, and USB Audio 1.1. It is frequency agile, and will follow sample rate changes initiated by the computer and/or the media playback software. In all m... | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial I listened to this album a few weeks ago on Quboz. 96/24 mastering of the 1970 album by Vic Anesini, best version I remember ever hearing. | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? For the sake of this endless argument, what is your explanation to the difference in sound with different speaker cablesFor example Take a stranded copper cable of 0awg and one of 12awg running 10 feet connected to any amp with a DF >300 and a ... | |
| USB sucks I click on my roon app, find an album and hit play. Nothing to worry about. I will add if you're going to use the approach of streaming it's a good idea to understand some basic networking and how digital transport works. Most of the stuff I read ... | |
| Replacing driver screws with brass screws Wouldn’t brass screws look nicer? What’s the cost difference between what they buy in bulk compared to brass in bulk? I first saw this thread and thought it was a joke. I’ve read some strange stuff on this site but this takes the prize. I'm having... | |
| Can Room Correction Be Added to an Existing DAC? Thanks, most find me a pain I believe. I could get into Dirac and do more adjustments than ARC but in the end I used the recommended file. I didn't find either one very hard and they both do a good job. I ended up with ARC mainly because I liked ... | |
| Can Room Correction Be Added to an Existing DAC? If you don’t need a streamer the Minidsp DDRC-22D would work. I’ve used ARC and Dirac they are comparable. You can use Dirac the same as ARC by accepting the correction it recommends or tweak it. | |
| USB sucks There are 2 reliable interfaces capable of transmitting DSD , ethernet and USB. If you're not interested then use optical, coax, or AES3. I2S was never intended for transfer between devices but on chip no more than an inch or two. There are a few ... | |
| Synergistic Research Orange Fuse Wait for the rainbow fuse. | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. Good mastered CD sounds better than vinyl. EMF and RF are everywhere whether analog or digital. Get some medical help. | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. I think you did the right thing letting UPS pack it. At least you should get the insurance money, if you packed it without original inserts and it was damaged you might not get the insurance. I’ve been told every time I ship with UPS and buy insur... |
