| Ice Amp 125ASX2 @seanheis1Sorry they didn't work out for you. I'm on the other side, they work great for my needs, but then I'm not taking a PC audio output. :) You asked about inputs. Among some of the things I've read is the use of input coupling transformers.... | |
| Schitt Lyr2 + Gngnir Multibit vs Burson Audio Navgator V2 + I’ve only heard one Schiit and it was very nice, and sounded really good no matter the source. A lot of DAC's are pretty sensitive to the driving source, including USB which you would hope was more isolated. The Schiit was a very consistent perfor... | |
| Why a digital media player instead of a dedicated computer? Well, you can make a very cool server out of a Raspberri Pi 3 and Ubuntu, so why not? It certainly has very low power consumption so it can be left on all the time, and has USB 2.0 ports as well. Add Squeezelite with a Logitech Media Server 7.9 an... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Sorry about the comments, but the point is, if you have 3 different sources and still aren't happy it may not be your sources at all. The common demonstrators are between the preamp and the room. There are less expensive solutions than the Mytek B... | |
| Please Support Music Education I didn't say "not exposed to ANY music" There's a difference between having iTunes and having a musical literacy. How does this happen? Lack of education. Of course they are exposed to something, but the child who doesnt' learn about x type of mus... | |
| Please Support Music Education @infection That’s a really odd reply. I am suggesting we spend a lot less on education than other nations, and that making music education available to all is important.If students are never exposed to music, they can never be passionate about it.... | |
| Please Support Music Education Wow, i cant even begin to respond to that.Erik | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Remember please the 105 has separate "high end" outputs for stereo the 103 lacks. :) Is it "fine?" Yeah, it's fine. If however you just spent $800 on a turntable and didn't like it, SACD playback probably won't sound good either. You have other ... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Looking again at your list, I put the Emotiva and Oppo sounds as aout equivalent. The Emotiva pre/pro I listened to were quieter, but kind of gutless, or soul-sucking quality. Seemed to have all the notes, but lacked the energy. Personally I would... | |
| OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby) Well, I'm not sure about better. I will say the DAC's aren't all that, and SACD analog playback isn't much better. It's not terrible, until you listen side by side with a good DAC. Currently I'm listening to a Mytek Brooklyn, which is leagues b... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil @volleyguy1 I was being funny, but there are some out of control audiophiles in Vietnam who are crazy for Duelund. :) Best,Erik | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil @volleyguy Well now that I know they are in such short supply, I'm putting them up on a Vietnamese auction site at 4x original prices. :) Best,Erik | |
| Looking for speakers under 30" tall. Reach out to Lee Taylor of Taylor Speakers. He can make any of the floorstanders any height. You'll probably want them tilted a little.The Klang-Tong Nada kit uses some of the very best parts available, but there are others. Lee has a very good ... | |
| Anyone use a subwoofer system with YG Carmel @rlawry Yes, it's a known effect that the frequency at which sounds can be localized for humans is around 100-120Hz. This is why the THX reference crossover frequency is around 80. When I say Integration, I mean two things. Speaker integration mea... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hacking at a Pass huh? :) Hey, what do the letters stand for anyway? CMR? Best,Erik |
