| Please help! First Hi-fi audio system for small listening space For that small of a room that’s square to boot, look into active nearfield monitors. There are options made for your situation but it will take some research. I would start with Genelec smart monitors and their GLM calibration system which is abou... | |
| $5k-$6K DACs w Roon? Matrix mini-I 3. | |
| Dutch & Dutch 8c with multiple sources Don't confuse price with quality in DACs. I just used an example there are a lot of DACs that can be used as a preamp. Maybe this link will help.https://pura-audio.nl/en/2020/10/13/elementor-4383/ | |
| Dutch & Dutch 8c with multiple sources I would get something like this and use the analog in on the speakers. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1618329-REG/cambridge_audio_c11217_dacmagic_200m_dac.html | |
| Dutch & Dutch 8c with multiple sources Is your connection from the TV , Toslink, SPDIF , HDMI or analog ? You could email Dutch and Dutch explain what you're trying to do. They were always considerate and helpful. | |
| Dutch & Dutch 8c with multiple sources That's why I said you might need to use a preamp or DAC with multiple inputs and use analog output to the speakers. The way I did it was setup my server on the network and used a Lumin U1 mini to stream from my ripped files and Quboz to the speake... | |

| All NEW Klipsch Jubilee Horn Speakers !... Game Changer ?... How is it a game changer? Large two way with active crossovers. I think JBL did that 4 years ago. | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. AES3 and CAT5e cables. | |
| To all those who celebrate! And a pleasant spring equinox to you as well. | |
| Dream vs. Reality - What have you bought? What I have is Genelec 8351b and 7350a subwoofers calibrated with GLM. If I could afford it and had the room I would pair the 8351b with the W371 woofer system and use 1 - 7370 subwoofer for sub bass. If I could have an immersive system I'd have 7... | |
| From the Batmobile to highend electronics Instead of the integrated amp spend the money on better speakers, room acoustics and EQ. | |
| Cables ... no longer opinion If I ever have a need for speaker cables again I'll keep geometry in mind. | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well Doesn't matter what side you're on it has no affect on the DAC. It either measures beyond human audibly so you are hearing the other components in your system or it doesn't. DACs have been a solved problem for a while now of course this doesn't me... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well Testing shows most DACs don't have sonic signatures as long as they conform to basic engineering principles. I'm tired of the willfully ignorant who dismiss standard testing protocol and crown themselves golden ears. |
