| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions @georgehifi and @ptss Perhaps I've misunderstood your posts. All good as far as I'm concerned and I remain appreciative of your input. | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @tomcarr - when you get it (I am sure I put this explanation farther up the thread...but I'll summarize again): back the output volume off in the settings to something else than 100%. I really thought it was harsh at 100. I have mine set at 90%. B... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions @ptss As I previously stated I’m not using balanced power, but I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t provide an “immediate” and “significant” improvement to the sound I already have. If I’m wrong, oh well. Suffice it to say that for now and at this point ... | |
| How best to shoe horn speakers into a room As the prices of high end speakers rise, so does their overall size, in every direction. It seems to me not every large titan like loudspeaker will have its tweeter resting right at ear level. I have a pair of Golden Ear Triton Reference. The twee... | |
| How best to shoe horn speakers into a room Ultimately the sound will depend on the distance the speakers are placed from the front and side walls, distance each speaker is from one another and the distance from the speakers to the PLP. The best you could achieve is to try and optimize all ... | |
| Which integrated amp? I think a Musical Fidelity M6si meets your criteria. | |
| Amperage of home theater components I'm not entirely sure, but in my case it doesn't blow the single 20 amp breaker all of my gear is connected to. | |
| Best Footers for DAC? @stuartk From the Schiit Yggdrasil manual:"Yggy already has screw-in feet - you’ve reached the big leagues now, guys" | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? @ivan_nosnibor While I'll agree that @geoffkait post is more accurate and thought out than many of his other posts, to some extent it is not entirely correct because there is yet a third (that I can think of, perhaps there are more) high-ends for ... | |
| Best Footers for DAC? I’ll never go back to analog. IMO Digital has surpassed the once great art form. Now that vinyl is cut from digital what is the point of playback on media that has so many limitations. +1And, unless the analog is mucho bucks reel-to-reel (where ... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Definitely cover the TV with a blanket just to see if that makes a difference.....A long thread just on that specific topic.@kalaliI take it the idea is to minimize reflections off the front panel of the television. If so, in your opinion then, wo... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 @boisehomes, I believe you are correct that you cannot output DSD via the digital outputs because of "anti piracy or something". But you can ask OPPO, read the manual and/or try it. Best of luck with your new UDP-205. @milpai, nice catch on your p... | |
| My rant; we don't know what we don't know I agree in principal with what the OP has posted. How true it is that the room itself and all other seemingly insignificant details do matter.I think we could all agree, however, that "It’s an obsession, but it’s pleasing".EDIT: Would like to incl... | |
| Error Correction during CD replay // Super Black Hole from Herbie's Audio Lab Problems with players reading CDs is typically the result of the CD itself and not the player. I have over 3500 CDs of varying brands, and many of my disks have been played back on a handful of different players. I’ve never had a player in the pri... | |
| Need direction for moving CD collection to hard disc Not clear to me why you wouldn't want to involve a PC if the goal is to rip a CD to "hard disk". A PC is fairly easy and (should be) available around the house. For red book only, if the best rips possible are the objective, nothing is going to be... |
