| Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC? I think running the direct ethernet line should be the first thing you do. Then you can start ruling out other issues. Even if the Roku works, the wireless connection can cause issues. Most times it works great, but occasionally things get screwe... | |
| Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC? Have you updated the firmware? http://teac.jp/int/support/news/6802 B | |
| Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC? What are your problems with streamer to DAC? FWIW, I use USB with all of my DAC's/streamers and have never had issues that made me tear out my hair. Perhaps if you listed your equipment, or PM'd me, I/we could help. Streaming is pretty new, so t... | |
| Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix) I can attest to the benefit of the Innuos USB reclocker. I have been on the fence with regard to the Phoenix NET, but your experience makes me want to try one. Bob | |
| Vandersteen Forum The OP was on the Vandy forum and posted some very critical posts-mostly to the effect of how can the speakers be redesigned. He was told in no uncertain terms that he could modify the speakers to his heart’s delight, but the forum would not be pa... | |
| Does a REL subwoofer make the speakers' job easier? The only sub that I know of that uses a high pass filter is Vandersteen. And, yes, by utilizing the high pass crossover, the amp will be relieved of power demanding low frequencies. B | |

| Receiving my Townshend Audio Podiums Monday. How to? You don't need anything under the Podiums to protect the floor. The Podiums are adjustable by turning the knobs at the corners in order to level the speaker. You then adjust speakers as usual. Bob | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range If you can wait, a used Brinkmann Nyquist 2 would be me recommendation. My first impression was that it sounded like vinyl. Bob | |
| Bang & Olufsen showcases timeless design at ‘The Danish House’ B&O equipment is in my Audi TTS. I wish I could be more positive, but their implementation is less than desirable. A 650 watt amp in a roadster sounds good, but if you don't accept the sound limitations in such a small space, no amount of powe... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media @stevewharton , Nicely written post. Bob | |

| Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo @andy_wonderwall - ' I am lucky to have a dealer that are willing to borrow me MBL N15s monoblocks so that I can compare different technologies on the MLs'. The MBL's should be able to drive just about anything, but if I were to get them, I w... |
