| Passion, or ..... Precision? +1 @hilde45 I think the DAC far outclasses the amps and speakers. I was just where you are @markprice. I actually owned the BHK monos with the BHK pre and the DS DAC. I first upgraded my DAC, which gave much more resolution. But upgrading my o... | |
| Streamer $2000-4000 I believe the Auralic's will not pass DSD over AES. I do like the sound of my Auralic Aries G2.1 though. I use both USB and AES. I think the AES is smoother and better, but again, it will not play the DSD over USB. The Grimm MU1 handles this d... | |
| help me choose between Audionet and Constellation Audio Hello, @dpm2340 "so you're telling me the amps are better than their pres?" Are you an investigative reporter? :) Just kidding. I am a huge Audionet fan, and now own the Stern and Heisenbergs. I believe strongly in the synergy between their a... | |
| help me choose between Audionet and Constellation Audio This is not exactly what you asked, but if you had to pick Audionet amp(s) vs preamp, I would pick the amp(s). | |
| help me choose between Audionet and Constellation Audio To my ears Audionet is extremely fast and dynamic, with exceptional detail, yet not fatiguing. Fast is a word my friend and I often say...yet easy. N0t dry or analytical, yet very resolving. | |
| help me choose between Audionet and Constellation Audio Audionet is amazing. I had their mono amps and pre 1. But… do whatever you can to get their Max amps and pre 2! : ) Have you talked to GTT Audio? He has people trade up and sometimes has pre owned. I am sure the constellation stuff is fantast... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers Yes he uses the Aries G2.1 I understand he now has both the Grimm MU1 and the Aries G2.1 in his showroom. | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers Hi @rolandas_stripeikis, I have not compared Aries G1 series with Aries G2. I know there is lots of trickle down tech in Auralic, but just assume the G2.1 is better, and that is what I have been told. Someone once said this to me (paraphrased):... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers Helllo, @rolandas_stripeikis, I have the Tambaqui and it is amazing. But put it with a quality streamer and it is even better. I have the Auralic Aries G2.1 and it improved everything. Then, like you are thinking, I added an better power supp... | |
| Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer and oh yes thank you @verdantaudio I run Roon at my home, but the Altair is at my vacation home and I do not have Roon. The Auralic software is very nice and works perfectly, though I miss my Roon playlists. | |
| Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer +1 again for the Auralic Altair G1 or 1.1 now. Great performance for its price I think. I have one in a second system, run it on wifi, and it immediately brought out much better sound over my cd player or lesser streaming sources. IMHO much bett... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley, "Do yourself a favor though, if you are convinced you have an optimized setup then DO NOT go listen to a truly optimized setup…it will be a costly mistake." Boy daddy is that true! I have loved and listened to my music all my l... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @rockrider Yes it is! Now I am waiting on Audionet who told me the same thing about their Stern Screen going completely dark! I have covered the power buttons on my amps, so that screen is the last night sky pollution! | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? The latest Tambaqui update includes dimming / turning off the LED's! | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq @lalitk . The Linkup ethernet cable is interesting to me if it beats my Supra cat 8. There are two versions; 22 AWG and 26 AWG. I assume it is the 22 AWG you are using? Thanks! Trying a new NA Muon AES Cable tonight, comparing to ... |
