| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Why are you telling me what I already know? I never mentioned "powered speakers" I was talking about active speakers with digital active crossovers. Active speakers can have digital and analog inputs and not necessarily be class d but class AB, G ... | |
| Class D It's not an integrated but the March Audio P502 stereo amp is rated to 2 ohms. Sounds very good with Revel speakers. If you're looking for silly tweaks that either do nothing or degrade the amp look elsewhere this guy doesn't buy into the voodoo j... | |
| High end Class D amps? I'm no EE but the board's "wiring" or circuit path into the Sphynx's modules seems infinitely less complex than what's going on in the Dragon board's circuits going into the Dragon's modules.If you look at the photos of the Dragon the hypex modul... | |
| High end Class D amps? Rogue isn’t putting tubes in the Hypex module. Go to their site and look at the inside of the Sphinx, those 2 small boards on the top are the hypex amps the huge board at the bottom with the tubes is theirs. Compare the hypex photos of the inside ... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I only discuss high fi as in high fidelity not tube distortion generators or NOS crap DACs those are lo fi. High fidelity is to reproduce the signal as close to the original recording as possible not add coloration. I don’t care what the cost is i... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Depends on the active speaker. Newer designs are using DSP and have DACs in the speaker I don’t think the digital front end will have any difference. I had a. discussion with a salesman trying to sell me a 16K DAC as to how it would benefit me aft... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? The term "chi-fi" is racist. The US has some high end and low end companies but some of the leading edge in modern audio technology is coming from Europe. I guess "Swede-fi" "fin-fi"or "Dane-fi" doesn’t roll off the tongue the same ? | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I've never used the Chromecast the cheapest I have is a raspberry pi4. As a roon endpoint it's indistinguishable from streamers I've had costing a lot more. I actually listen, with my ears, not my eyes. If your experience is not listening blind th... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Using Roon and a good DAC, they used the Topping D50 the chromecast was fine.3. The Chromecast output has more jitter than an audiophile/instrument grade Toslink output. This is evident when used with low quality DACs like Schiit Modi 2 Uber.4. Us... | |
| Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up? Of the 2 you posted I would go with the Parker duo. In room response will probably be lower than 36hz. If you consider other speakers you might look at Dutch and Dutch 8c they would be a lot easier to integrate in your room. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? If you don't like the amp return it and move on. The stock opamp is perfectly fine on the purifi boards you wouldn't be able to tell the TI from the sparkos or the silly tube contraption anyway. I don't have a bias I can't tell an Ncore from a pur... | |
| Please help with Ohm MWT sound/system issues Looks like your listening area is to large you probably need at least the 2000's. One thing you might try for a little more bass is put them close to the front wall and if you're not timid remove the speaker binding post cup and see if there's a s... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Seems to me there's a lot of expensive gadgets to fix problems that don't exist in most people's systems. If you have ground problems or excessive audible noise there's better ways of dealing with it. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? You need to do that twice a day. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? You're banned because you're a troll. You take a product this time purifi and carry on as if you've done something by buying the cheapest amp you can find and complain about it in subjective terms. How many blind tests did you do? I doubt you coul... |
