| Looking for HDMI cable which introducing lowest jitter I have enjoyed a PS Audio DirectStream DAC & Memory Player and a few weeks ago decided to replace the stock cable provided by PS Audio with a Wireworld Silver Starlight HDMI cable and immediately enjoyed "more musical" results. I can't explai... | |
| Tidal and MQA..two questions. None of the streaming services have ever turned a profit. When Spotify was preparing for their IPO a few months ago, they publicized their prediction that, in 2018 they would turn the corner and start turning a profit.A few weeks ago metrics for ... | |

| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! About 25 years ago I rode a motorcycle. Back then I couldn't understand why anyone would buy a Harley Davidson, as they were beautifully made, but had excessive vibration, poor brakes, were not very reliable, etc. etc. And back then, if you atte... | |
| DAC around 1.000 Euro for streaming environment I would recommend you consider a Mytek Brooklyn DAC or the new Brooklyn DAC+. The DAC+ model has an updated ESS chipset and a few other upgrades, but the differences in the sound quality are very minor. You might be able to snag the original DAC... | |
| PS Audio DirectStream DAC or Aqua Formula xHD I am not familiar with the Aqua DAC, but have enjoyed my PS Audio DirectStream DAC, purchasing mine just after it was released.One thing I very much enjoy about the DAC is that, because it's designed around an FPGA and not an "off the shelf" DAC c... | |
| Is this MQA news a big deal? Craigl59,I find that my SACDs typically play a little "quieter" than "regular" CDs, though I usually don't have the same music on both formats (only when I have previously purchased an SACD and get one of the multi-CD boxed sets).I presume it's th... | |

| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I do not leave my equipment on, as my amp and preamp shut themselves down after so many minutes of idle time and with a power unit, DAC and transport, consumes quite a bit of electricity.It does take 10-15 minutes of play time for my equipment to ... | |
| Nuraphones? Yes, I was one of their Kickstarter startup investors.I am not a big headphone user, but for my main system have a pair of Sennheiser HD800's, about four times the cost of the Nuraphones, but was interested in supporting their work to tailor the r... | |
| Amplifier for my new Focal Sopra no2 I was lucky enough to get a pair from one of the first shipments of Sopra No2's to the U.S., now enjoying them for over 2 1/2 years.I drive them with a McIntosh tube preamp and McIntosh MC452 power amp. I have them in a 24x26' room and when I'm r... |
