| Questioning the need for a DAC Hotel rooms usually suck. Regardless of dac, how are your room acoustics?? I'd spend money there if you haven't already before any more gear at all. | |
| help me with a DAC decision please The mytek is wonderful with ALL formats. Redbook sounds really really good. It also does DSD and MQA, but the latter, from my ears, is snake oil.Best,Erik | |
| Dual subs and room size Italian,A single well integrated sub is invisible and works very well with stereo. You cant tell where it is, at all. Just plan your EQ solution, or get a sub with very flexible eq bulit in. IN fact, I'll say, you can't hear the difference of most... | |
| New system with periodic sound dropouts Ahhh, wait, are you wireless? :) Wifi is awful in conjested areas. If you use Android, use Wi-Fi analyzer to find free channels. Also, usually 5G is less cluttered. | |
| Dual subs and room size I don't disagree Inna, but in my personal spaces, 1 was so good I reached a point where I couldn't shell out the cash for the second. :) Your own mileage and money may vary, and nothing prevents you from buying 1 now, and 1 later. Best,Erik | |
| Dual subs and room size I should also add, I wouldn't be such a proponent if I didn't have personal, practical experience with everything I have mentioned. Doing it right is pretty damn awesome, but spend your money however you want to. :) Best,Erik | |
| Dual subs and room size I call your youtube clip and present one of several online docs that goes in depth what I was trying to point out clumsily.http://ethanwiner.com/basstrap_myths.htmBest,Erik | |
| Dual subs and room size @wattsperchannel Alone EQ's use with a sub is limited to reducing the worst peaks, however with bass traps in place it gets much more effective.I've tested this and there's online explanations for this. Bass traps de-energize the ringing, allowin... | |
| help me with a DAC decision please I like Schiit a lot but I am very happy with Mytek Brooklyn, built in phono pre as well. :) There's some one on AG who gives you a 30 day in home trial.I'm not sure if Schiit supports DSD, but Mytek sure does. Best,Erik | |
| Dual subs and room size Yes, two subs is better, but 1 sub with acoustic treatment and eq is very very good. My point was, for a room that small, 1 sub is probably enough. So much so that the second sub may not be worth the expense. Buy a dozen subs if you want to but if... | |
| Recommed a medium sized monitors that can go loud Used Monitor Audio Silver series speakers would be your best value I think. | |
| Dual subs and room size Also, your room is kind of small, so I strongly suggest you plan to start with 1 sub. You may find yourself perfectly satisfied with that. While I love my Hsu it lacks built in EQ. I make my own loudspeakers, so that’s not a problem. I live and br... | |
| Dual subs and room size I don't knwo the SVS, but I love my HSU!! :) First, take a deep breath. If your main speakers are like the girl next door: firendly, cheerful, ready to accommodate others, subs are like the bastard drunken dad. Making them work well is not as eas... | |
| Music Server format? Sure, conversion is quite easy. FLAC files are smaller, so more files in same disk space. Best,Erik | |
| What is you TIDAL setup? I play Tidal either through Logitech Media Server or the Oppo 103. I haven't done direct comparisons, but since LMS is USB 2.0 I expect it will be the most jitter-free of the two solutions, but I find the Mytek is a pretty consistent player regard... |
