| streaming DACs around $4k Any updates to this? I have two systems and trying to decide what to keep and if I should upgrade...Systems:1. Anthem STR integrated...Love it for simplicity but think DAC could be better.2. PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell DAC w/ 2 M700 monoblocks.. ... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell DAC vs DirectStream Dac vs DirectStream Dac Jr. Is the Anthem 90% of the way to the PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell DAC? I'd say yes. It's very hard to A/B compare of course so I would need more time to adequately compare.I also want to see if my Furman power conditioner makes a positive or negativ... | |
| Room correction in noisy environment (ARC, Dirac, Minidsp, REW) I tried to run Audyssey in the bedroom and it kept erroring out saying too much ambient noise.I also tried ARC in my main living room but my wife got up out of bed yelling at me to turn it off so no, I have not successfully completed a room correc... | |
| PS Audio M700 why would I biwire? Nope, Tekton Double Impact SE only has one set. I know it's moot for these speakers but I have others and I trade around quite a bit. One of the benefits of living in such a large area where lots of people have lots of money :) (DFW). | |
| Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer Still no one has heard these?I too am interested in the strange specs. It's not like Tekton to make a crappy speaker but given the competition of subs, these seem on par with than most <$1000 subs but won't compete with bigger SVS, Rythmik, HS... | |
| Roon - streaming only...where'd you get your NAS? Reviving this with new question. I have the Anthem STR Integrated amp and Bluesound Node 2i. Am i correct to say, if I want to use Roon, I have to have an endpoint? Or a computer nearby always on?I still have no NAS so it would only be for stre... | |
| Room correction in noisy environment (ARC, Dirac, Minidsp, REW) Thank you for all the input. I understand that room correction is not a fix all. I have a very tough room and using absorbers, traps, and diffusers is not an option. My aim is to get as close to "better" as possible. I simply wanted to know if ... | |
| Room correction in noisy environment (ARC, Dirac, Minidsp, REW) Good info. I'm interested in this security film.Also, to be clear, I'm not trying to drown out or compensate for outside noise. I'm just trying to use ARC the way it's intended but afraid my high noise level will botch the measurements completely.... | |
| Room correction in noisy environment (ARC, Dirac, Minidsp, REW) I don't understand how a system can offer room correction without using a microphone and sending actual sound waves out into the room, analyzing it, and adjusting for the response. | |
| JBL Studio 590 Excellent. However, I refused the shippment so I never actually took hold of them. I decided they were too big and impossible to sell. | |
| Martin Logan reQuests vs newer Martin Logan offerings Ouch yeah good point. Any idea how much that would run? | |
| Martin Logan reQuests vs newer Martin Logan offerings Cool good info.. But you're saying ML comes with ARC? My Anthem amp has ARC already. I'm assuming it's the same. | |
| JBL Studio 590 I'm currently going to be using an Anthem STR Integrated Amp. The room is big and odd.. It's connected to a kitchen (open concept kinda thing) that puts my listening position right in a dead spot. | |
| Just auditioned Martin Logan ESL vs 60xt @georgehifi They sell some pretty high end names and they have McIntosh amps in their main rooms mainly driving B&W and Martin Logan (not the ESL). We were listening on the Marantz AR8805 (or whatever their big $5k receiver is). Sure probabl... | |
| Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? So this is pretty interesting. I always kinda thought compression always equals "bad". Why would I want a compressed anything other than space savings? But, I can see where compression is used in the studio to make quiet things sound louder and... |
