| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary I haven't heard Innuos but I love my Aurender n150, paid retail $3500 and it was worth every penny. I have a big library of CDs all ripped in .WAV and it has a built in slot for a SSD hard drive which has my library on it. It sounds dead quiet, ... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @carlsbad it's not that I don't believe in flac or aac, I have half my music collection ripped in aac because many years ago I need to save disc space, so I have heard lots and lots of "lossless" audio, and I have extensively compared albums in a... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @carlsbad2 not sure what your getting at but your statement that there should be no discernable difference between local ripped files and streamed is incorrect. When I listen to a CD at WAV resolution it’s anywhere from 500 to 800 megabytes of da... | |
| Isolation systems I luckily own 3 sets of Ganymede Vistek Isolation pucks, they have a bearing inside and when set up correctly your components "float" ... They are awesome like a equipment upgrade, so smooth, analog, musical etc... BUT they are out of business and... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room Borreson is pretty nice even with the Chinese made cabinets on those entry level models... But I personally try to keep China stuff out of my hifi and my golf bag, I have enough Chinese made crap that I can't avoid Look at JMR (Jean Marie Reynaud... | |
| Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna! I just picked up a Mark Levinson no 27 amplifier from a client I believe the amp is from 1989-1990 before Levinson was booted and company bought off... After testing it one channel sounds lifeless, no bass, tinny... I took it to the repair shop a... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I haven't played CDs in a long time, but I still buy CDs very often. I bought a Aurender N150 a couple years ago and it is excellent, but the reason I went with Aurender over Roon was the built in hard drive. I have Qobuz and use it sometimes, ... | |
| Integrated Suggestions for a Garage System In my shop I have a pair of Ascend acoustics old CBM 170s I bought 20 years ago mounted in the corners.. powered by a ATI 1202 amplifier I had laying around, and I bought a Audioengine B1 Bluetooth receiver going to the amp that has a decent DAC c... | |
| Basically happy, but… Personally I like Acoustic Zen, the Absolutes are great, so is Matrix Reference ... So holographic and natural and takes you to the room where the recording happened | |
| Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation I have a pair of Jean Marie Reynaud (JMR) Trente bookshelves for my office set up and they are awesome front ported speakers, so smooth and non fatiguing and very musical. They are a French company that has been around a long time. The Trente'... | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? Yeah, they will help.. I have Synergistic Research fuses in every fuse holder in my system, streamer, DAC, amp etc... They do help with a more analog and smoother sound .. not sure how but they do work and I'll always use them going forward.. I ha... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS Those bands are good, but it's boring and we've all heard it a million times, great songs great recordings but there is so much great music with insane fidelity besides that stuff... And your 100% streaming which sounds like crap anyway, that's y... | |
| Small footprint subwoofer I installed a Kef Reference 8B for a client recently... I was worried it wasn't going to hit low or have enough power for a large room... I was wrong, not sure how they make two 8 inch woofers move that kind of air but holy smokes that thing is le... | |
| Discrete R2r With Tube Output I was just at the hifi show and that LTA aero was in a couple rooms, sounded really good, very smooth and analog.. and it looks really cool | |
| Importance of streamer in audio chain I used to have a Sonos Connect that was modified by Modwright I think, they redo the clock and put a nice coax jack, power supply I think... serving up my music library that is all WAV files ripped to a network hard drive.. It sounded great. I go... |
