| Oppo 103D streaming issues Thanks erik,Yeah it's well ventilated with about 5" of space between it and the next shelf. I also have it perched on anti-vibration pads so it sits about an inch higher than the feet allow. It has plenty of ventilation. I also searched the issue ... | |
| Oppo 103D streaming issues It's actually a 103D. I run the coax out to my DAC which feeds my pre-amp so I run it through my main system. The audio quality varies on Youtube. I was listening to an "audiophile" recording of music last night and it was actually pretty decent. ... | |
| Oppo 103D streaming issues Just wanted to offer a quick update here. I believe I have found the resolution. I read on another forum that it is necessary to return to the factory default settings following a software update. I did that and now it seems to be working fine aga... | |
| Point of diminishing return for a DAC I would strongly consider an R2R DAC. You won't have to spend anymore than specified and there are many out there. | |
| Help a digital luddite USB. | |
| Help a digital luddite mahler123 and I must have been typing at the same time. Get a streamer! | |
| Help a digital luddite Personally, I wouldn't get bogged down with formats. Yes your system can be improved with a stand alone DAC but since your SA-11S3 accepts external inputs I would look at adding a streamer. A good choice would be an Aurender N100H which can usuall... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? So if one decides to go with cable risers, how long is the break-in period? | |
| Thoughts On Used CEC TL 2 X I doubt you will get many responses about CEC transports. They don't seem to be real popular here in the States. They are excellent transports however. I used to own an Ayre CD5 XE mp which is an awesome player. I wanted to go to a dedicated trans... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Fool's Overture, Supertramp. | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror I think the prevailing attitude is not so much driving a woofer with tubes but the amps ability to control it based on damping factor. I'm no expert and it sounds like you had a positive experience. What are your speakers rated for efficiency? | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror audio123 stated.... "Thats Great,,,but this thread is about the AMT 3 DAC....not Holo that Tim Connors is just the Middle Man in that Chinese Company ...so lets get back to Vlad and His AMAZING American Made DAC!"Ok, I get your bias and we al... | |
| CD sound quality: original pressings vs regular remaster vs MFSL, etc Just to expand upon the comments from tomcy6, It’s actually easy to search for "best versions" of cd’s on the Steve Hoffman forum. Simply google "best version of ____" whatever title cd and the search will inevitably bring up a Steve Hoffman threa... | |
| Has to be said I admit I haven't read this whole thread, nor do I intend to. My skeptics radar went up on the first post. My wife is a PhD in neurofeedback and EEG but beyond that, anyone capable of writing as large a volume as the OP ought to know how to use ba... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror I have found this thread very interesting. I would like to circle back to the discussion about Holo Audio. I have the Kitsune edition level III DAC with the Singxer SU-1 DDC. This DAC sounds fantastic! I can't compare it to analog because I have n... |
