| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. I'm glad you could find the help you needed. You had a lot of obstacles at first, having the Oppo 103 BD player was a very fortunate thing. Try the upsampling on the BDA1 and let us know what you think. There's lot of music to buy as well, so gett... | |
| Advice on a Used speaker, Budget $4500 Yep, Triangle and older Thiels got the same reception. I certainly could not understand it. Most importantly, I would not put these speakers as one's I would recommend without a long listening period. Of course, it's your money, spend int to mak... | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. Hi Whinoman,Now in a post USB 1 world, OSX and Linux can support most formats without extra drivers. Windows tends to be the exception. I'd look for a Bryston specific forum to ask questions about how to stream music from your PC to you DAC. You ... | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. Hi Whinoman! Go to the Tidal website (click on this blue text). Sign up for an account. I think it's easier to sign up via PC and a browser. Once you have that, the Oppo "Media Control" app will let you select Tidal as a source. You'll have to... | |

| Advice on a Used speaker, Budget $4500 Dear Gods, Tritons? What a hard and merciless treble. Listen to them for yourself, but the only time I heard these I thought the dealer was trying to run me out of the room.They run along with the Triangle and older Thiels for a treble with murde... | |
| New listening room electrical design I would do the following:Get 2 or three isolated circuits, making sure ground was also isolated all the way to the panel, where they are tied together at the same place. Get Pure Power AC regenerators The PP Regenerators are active, and will cance... | |
| Should I buy a Class A Amp. What a great thread has been created. I need to make more friends like this. :) The other thing, one not often mentioned, is that if your ears can't tell a difference, don't spend the money. Stereo equipment, like cars, rarely ages well. It's not... | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. Also, if possible, connect your media players (TV, BD Disk, etc.) directly to your home network via cables. If you live in an apartment Wifi is always going to be an issue due to the number of competing routers. Best,Erik | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. By the way, I own a W4S Remedy, but I'm going to suggest you save your money as you may end up needing a better media server solution. They are on sale right now though, direct from the W4S web site, so if you don't mind plunking down the money to... | |
| Please Help!! looking to get into computer audio. Hi Whino,It sounds like your issue is really setting up a media server first. Your not really starting out with the best combination of sources. iTunes is heavily compressed, and BlueTooth was never an audiophile format, but it's gotten better. Le... | |
| Help wanted: Bass! inna,Yes, but subs can be a nightmare if you have no control over their placement, room acoustics or EQ. In this case it's the perfect storm for @rbshauman I'd get zero. Given the ability to control at least 2 of the three pre-requisites, I'd star... | |
| Review: Wyred4Sound Remedy Reclocker Cooper,You make nice tires....Hah. Sorry. :) Anyway, multimeters are cheap, like $10 cheap. :) Worth getting one. Best,Erik | |
| First "audiophile" system, now what? Suggestions for best "bang for the buck" upgrade? I'm not sure what speakers you have now. The ML 12 is a sub right? There's no doubt in my mind, room acoustics. Take some pics and send them to GIK Acoustics and they will put together a very nice package for your budget. After that, if your ML i... |
