| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? Thanks @hilde45, Knowledgable guy. I rarely make it through an entire video but did in this case! Pretty also! (the DAC) :) | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster Hi @boxboy83 , Is the sound equally dull with vinyl vs digital? I always found the Directstream dull sounding. If with everything, I would perhaps try a more enlightened amplifier. I have not heard this AR amp. I am not surprised the Wharfed... | |
| Music streaming do you have the Vega? | |
| Music streaming Yes | |
| Music streaming You will get all that You Tube gives, up to 96kHz. This is better than YouTube output I think. It will sound amazing, if your tv is centered between your speakers. The reason we use AES (196kHz) or USB (DSD etc) is to send higher resolution fil... | |
| Music streaming HI @twangy57 . Yes, you can plug an ethernet cable directly into the Vega and stream from there. Remember you can also plug in an optical from a TV. The newer Vegas (G2.2) have HDMI arc input for sound from TV also, but the older versions do n... | |
| Music streaming +1 for Qobuz. I myself don't listen to Youtube, but I know many like the video with the audio. It is easy to plug an optical input into your new Auralic Streamer. This may not sound as awesome as a Qobuz stream, but would make it available with... | |

| That darn Billy Strings Hello @mopsauce ! I couldn't just let a Billy post go so under appreciated! It does sound awesome. While I like it, or perhaps more appreciate it, this is not the Billy Strings I love, that being the incredible layered spacey jams that magicall... | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo Hi @nothelle , If @soix is helping you, you are in good hands! I, like many, had Bluesound Nodes and have clearly appreciated my upgrade path from there. I also think your amp and speakers easily outclass your digital front end, so an upgrade i... | |
| What artists can you not get enough of? The oldr stuff of: Genesis Pink Floyd Jethro Tull Yes CSNY, and much of their solo stuff Dire Straits (selective) Steely Dan (used to think they were disco) The Dead (and dead musicians in general) but I do evolve... Wilco Billy S... | |
| Any Advantages To A Streamer In My Situation Hi @neonknight, I would expect most everyone here will say a nice dedicated streamer will hands down beat a computer used as a streamer. And, like many, I to used a Mac Mini to run roon core and stream when I got started in digital. Today, I h... | |
| Been an avid HT listener Hi @dennis041992 I had several dedicated 5 channel AV systems, but found that I liked listening even to TV in Stereo. Now I have high end two channel and the center image and vocals are spot on better. It may be, as @erik_squires states, that ... | |
| Gain level on a REL sub I know this is basic, and I know we all know this, but MAKE SURE your main speakers are in phase. I bought a new integrated to take to my vaca home, and pulled out two cheap pairs of small speakers, to try it and compare. I accidentally wired ... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? If this was about what CONCERTS to avoid, it would be Dave. I like a lot of the music, so decided to go. There are crowds of friends talking loudly and not even watching. Then, on cue, they all turn and recite the refrains yelling Ioudly. Afte... |
