| What do the arrows mean on my cable? Arrows are supposed to indicate signal direction. I’m having great success using an Audio Envy for SPDIF. Go figure. Digital coax is either RCA and/or BNC. In any event digital has much bigger bandwidth and SHOULD be RG6 (equivalent) or better. | |
| Are you discovering new music? Limitless on music streamers. Variety and new "strange" is much more important than the "best" sound. Naming names is somewhat fruitless. What works for me might not work firt you and vice versa for sure. | |
| Best budget USB I got a Supra from them and replaced it with the superb Atlas. The only LavriCable I own is a balanced headphone cable. Great but no experience with their USB. I have a iFi Gemini for isolated on my RasPi pushing a D10s. | |
| Ali Baba Correctamundo. Their stuff might perform 90%. Might be 10%. Do ya feel lucky? One thing for sure any returns are problematic. One cable I got was NOT soldered at all on the hot lead one end. He offered 10% discount on another one. Humbug. | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave Dac If it is the DirectStream it has Toslink, coax SPDIF, AES-EBU, USB-A and 2 i2s for 6 inputs total. I use them all. Just say no to a computer source | |
| Did you notice.... Very big deal. Seldom enough better to sweat about. Done chasing. | |
| Joey DeFrancesco +1 on The Free Spirits RIP big guy. He did some nice Sinatra style recordings too. | |
| Whizzer cone drivers Follow the money. | |
| Recommendation for Headphones I like Kennerton Magni’s for closed backs Or spend more for high level Focals. They are sweet. Quad ERA for open backs. It depends on how much of your listening session desires to mingle with the outside world. Any request for recommendations ... | |
| Recommendations please! The newest Sanders has the feature set you are looking for and more. | |
| Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room In any event I would insert a Loki so you can create your own loudness EQ curve. The nonpurist way to more musical enjoyment. You can accomplish this with at least one DAC but I see that you have eschewed that route. Avoid listening to ESLs. You... | |
| Two amps into one pair of speakers Either, or. No need to build custom, use a Solupeak P2. There is no sonic benefit to running 2 amps at once and dangers galore. Neither amp is designed for Armageddon. | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? I'm with @mike_in_nc ."best" is not the object, musical enjoyment is. The choice of musical program makes far more difference than any "system enhancements." He might find more refinement with better power supplies but no "need" for him to look.... | |
| A comparable phono preamp Budgie for sweet Puffin for totally adjustable. Not sure if I'd call MC an "update" Different for sure. | |
| What the ship just happened? Maybe so but obviously I meant big or smart enough to design damage avoiding packaging like Schiit or PS Audio. Even someone as small as Magna does it right. If a new manufacturer doesn’t have the smarts to pack securely I will stay away from thei... |
