| Aric Audio and my system Thanks Charles and Carlsbad. I’ve learned so much from the experience and can only imagine what others that have doing this for many years have experienced. Evank, I believe Aric listed my upgrades on his Facebook page. I know the caps were upgra... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Having followed this thread while shopping for a dac, it opened my eyes to some great options. I did some research and ended up calling Scott. After discussing what I was looking for, he gave me some advice and I ended up with the Rockna Wavedream... | |
| LUMIN app question Thanks designsfx. Will check them out. Would really be helpful if LUMIN released how to videos or had a hotline. What’s funny is I decided to go the streamer route versus the Jplay and connect route for ease of use. I read quite a few concerns wi... | |
| LUMIN app question Thanks for the reply nekoaudio. I was able to figure out the Qobuz playlist transfer method to grid layout in LUMIN app. Requires a few steps but at least I can get it to work. The shutdown after closing the app situation I put in a request with ... | |
| dac and streamer or seperates OP, I’m pretty open minded when it comes to this hobby. I had solid state for 25 years and have recently gone tube amp and preamp. I’ve owned 3 dacs and demoed another and let me say with 100% certainty, BITS ARE NOT JUST BITS. Any simple test and... | |
| dac and streamer or seperates Good post malbers. I really did not expect Paul to feel this way. Glad to have affirmation for my recent decision. 😀 | |
| dac and streamer or seperates A good one yes. Many people like to balance solid state with tube preamp or dac. Again, it depends on the sound you’re looking for from your system. I’m biased, I have a tube amp and preamp. I recently changed to an r2r dac, no more tube dac and r... | |
| dac and streamer or seperates OP, just keep in mind your system when choosing a dac. The Krell is apparently sensitive to what it’s paired with, based on the reviews I read. Very powerful unit. Also, B&W speakers have a certain sound. Do you want a dac like a Denafrips, r2... | |
| dac and streamer or seperates I’ve just finished my journey down the same path as you’re heading now. I started with a modded Cambridge cxn v2, modded by ModWright. Excellent sound and the streaming end is absolutely seamless. I’ve never had a streaming glitch in over a year. ... | |
| LessLoss Echos End So I’ve listened to the Rockna Wavedream Edition xlr for a few days now. I will have to say it has brought the sound to the level I expected a system of this level to sound like. The resolution, I would normally say clarity here but apparently I d... | |
| LessLoss Echos End I chose to go a different route mdrone. The dac, if memory serves is a1.6v which I’m not sure is enough power for an 8/9 watt set amp. Also, having heard it compared to the Rockna, it sounded very mellow. My heart wants a bit more dynamics or live... | |
| Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes I hope the dac situation works out for you. It is annoying and can be costly. I sold some brand new Zu speakers because they bothered my ears and caused headaches. Always a fear when purchasing new equipment. | |
| Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes Glad to hear they are getting better. I too have tinnitus and have had quite a few tubes bother me in the beginning and then settle down. Happy yours did some settling in. | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I just read about the Bacch filters. Very interesting and not a ton of money. I just contacted them regarding compatibility with my system. Might be a nice way to listen to certain music. | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I’m not saying all that OP heard was placebo btw. I’m just thinking out loud the possibilities. I switched speaker wire and I don’t care what anyone says, there was a considerable difference in sound. I just try to be open minded so I don’t waste ... |
