| TOSLINK Optical vs Coaxial for CD transport to DAC We are indeed in agreement. Thanks for clarification. | |
| TOSLINK Optical vs Coaxial for CD transport to DAC Hello @richardbrand ! That is what I was trying to say. Optical is used where HDMI does not work (no HDMI input on legacy processor or soundbar etc). | |
| Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals I think the Persona with Beryllium tweeters are bright in general. I think the Moon high end amps are awesome. | |
| Battle of the affordables I would pick the KEF R11 Meta, and find them used. The R line was well reviewed, and like all KEF models, quickly becomes a good buy on the used market. The Q not so much. SVS makes ok subs. B and W are tipped up at the high end. And of cour... | |
| TOSLINK Optical vs Coaxial for CD transport to DAC I think the resolution of optical is limited to 96kHz vs 192kHz for coax. Optical is often chosen out of TV's where the only other option is usually HDMI and may not work. I would use as good a coax cable as you want to buy, and a product like ... | |
| Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience The truth is that all amps sound different and quality and design matter. The best? For me that would be the best Audionet amps you choose to afford. Take. A trip to GTT Audio! | |
| Can't decide Dynaudio! My Contour 20i’s sound amazing with my Audionet electronics. I replaced Revel Salon 2’s on a lark and never looked back. I love the Contour 20i’s so much I have Confidence 20’s on the way to replace them. The 20i’s used with stands f... | |
| Network Switches Apologies FOR not reading all of the responses (arguments). A good network switch, placed before your streamer, IMHO, makes a considerable improvement in digital sound. Those that refute this, IMHO, either have not heard it, can not hear it, or ... | |
| Getting 4K with Classe SSP-800 Just use the TV inputs for your video sources and you will have full resolution. Run the Audio through the SSP-800 with HDMI eARC from TV and it will send the sound no matter what video source to the Audio Processor. I had this Classe SSP-880 an... | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers +1 @erik_squires on the Transmission Line being competition to the usual front, rear or bottom ports. All extend bass. I learned a lot looking at PMC speakers about Transmission Line. They are touted as being tighter, less bloated bass compared... | |
| Satellite radio tuners I had a Polk dedicated XM streamer. Came with it's own antenna. It's gone now, XM for the car only with all the better resolution options inside. But I do still discover new music while driving on XM. I snap a quick pic and then look for it la... | |
| Need help with Aurender N20 Yes +1 on the Muon Pro Streaming Cable. I have that with the Muon Pro Streaming Filter (filter plus in / out Muon pro ethernet cables). I think Network Acoustics makes nice stuff. The last ethernet cable entering your streamer makes a big impact. | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? For value and quality, the best used Moon amp you can get for your budget. Consistent resale value. To me, more engaging than the Parasound. I have had both. The Moon 340i, one of their basic integrated amps, is a fine stand in, and holds its ... | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering While some choose to use a high pass filter to the main speakers with sub(s), I think there are many reasons to not. A lot of popularity with high pass filters comes from AVR surround sound, where there are Dolby settings in the AVR processor for... | |
| Recommend a good router/modem combo please Hi @kingbr So my digital front end evolved in many ways over about 7 years. I think it all matters and I heard incremental upgrades all along the way. Today I have a Verizon Modem, as I agree with some who have said don't fight this issue with... |
