| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. No, the Byrston's input is not asynch, but the Oppo 105 (not 103 :( ) is. You could go USB to Oppo 105 to SPDIF | |
| Need advice The Mytek Stereo 192 is like $1k right now direct. | |
| Subwoofer hunt I use a miniDSP HD for my sub, works great and integrated with OmniMic fantastically. Also work very well with Room EQ Wizard. The usual issues are users trying to EQ for flat instead of a descending (1-1.5 db/octave) slope, and complaining it sou... | |
| Audio Research PH5 Phono Preamplifier Input Clipping Problem Hi Scott!The main reason for a SUT is to give the preamp enough voltage. It sounds like both are already too much, so technically you don't seem to require one.If you just like the sound, to warm up what you hear, you may want to use a 1:1 isolati... | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. I think that my next steps are to use a Linux PC with SqueezeLite and the Logitech Media Server 7.9. Why? It now streams DSD via USB 2.0. :) And I already have the PC there for media and games. If this works out I'll move my SB Touch to the bedroom. | |
| Which Speaker System ? ARC did make a multichannel preamp, but I believe it is long gone. The remaining reasonably available high-end preamp is the Parasound Halo P7 with 2 7.1 inputs. A lot of high end 2-channel preamps have "bypass" mode though, which let's you use an... | |
| Modern Tannoy, are they good? Isn't Tannoy about to close? :( Not that it makes any difference to the quality of their speakers, I am just sad to see another great British brand go away. B&W got purchased by a Silicon Valley start-up. Expect to see more thermostats with ... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? Honestly, and I'm going to get a lot of hate, so I dare only say this while a political convention is going on in the hopes that anyone reading this will have their bile already spent! :)I think it's what men are listening to. Women LOVE listening... | |
| Need advice Sorry, no I don't think the Sschiits have preamps, but the price is so low you can add one. :) The Mytek's and I think Parasound ZDac does. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Volley,I used Duelund silver bypass caps in my current reference speaker crossovers, attempting to bypass Clarity MR caps. I can honestly say it did nothing detectable. Maybe due to the size, about 0.047uF around a 4.7uF cap. On the other hand... | |
| Review: Wyred4Sound Remedy Reclocker After speaking to a recording engineer whose ears I respect a great deal, I've decided to get a Mytek Brooklyn. I was told it was a "great DAC for the price" which is all I wanted. The DSD and MQA built in is bonus. I'll let you know how it works ... | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. Get a New Old Stock (NOS) Squeezebox Transporter. Selling on Audiogon for around $550. Honestly there is no other media server I would buy right now, except a Squeezebox Touch. The current one's I might buy lack Android phone support. The transpor... | |
| Need advice The Parasound Z DAC v2 is pretty nice, and just went on sale somewhere (Music Direct? Audio Advisor?) for $299 or something. Sounds far better than it's price range. The Mytek Stereo 192 DSD is half off thanks to being discontinued, but never hea... | |
| Question for Oppo 105 owners...digital out to an external DAC ? Hi Sonic,Yes, digital outputs, both the coax and optical, bypass the internal DAC. Best,Erik | |
| Difference in Allison Tweeters You might want to take this question over to the DIYAudio speaker forums, lots of knowledgeable people there to ask about all sorts of questions about speaker building and repair. From mods to finding replacements. Best,Erik |
