| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 I came from the original xformers and had both the Vocm and nickel xformers installed. It is by a wide margin the biggest jump in sound quality of any electronics piece of gear I have purchased in my audio chain.... ever. I do recall reading on th... | |
| Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices Just realized I never answered the OP question. No, I do not think there is correlation between ticket prices and streaming. It is a what the market will bear. Gone to an NFL game lately? No streaming pressures there. I remember going back in the ... | |
| Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices Thanks for this thread as I just checked some of the local action. I just paid $79.50 all in with fees for the Cowboy Junkies sitting seven rows back from stage. That is not a lot of money for a show IMO. Huge fan, seen before (was just thinking a... | |
| Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices There are so many great shows with eye level viewing in great sounding venues. Tickets usually around $45 to $70. I stay away from the big shows and just go to the great sounding theaters. So much talent out there. Look forward to hearing "E" (The... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 Sent my DS1 analog board for modification today. After re-visiting the 5000+ post thread pretty excited about this mod. Interesting to see the evolution of mods. Folks were really pleased with the results of Encore XS4400 (used in MK2) and Lundahl... | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? If you have cable throughout your house you could run an MOCA ethernet to coax adapter. Had a similar situation of modem on one floor and streamer on another. I had coax running through home so installed MOCA ethernet adapters on each end of coax.... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 If you do trash your analog board, it is not the end of the world. I performed the xformer mod. Difficult to remove xformer without a quality solder sucker. Although I thought it was performed properly, I had some intermittant noise. Sent to PS Au... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? A new album a day keeps the brain from fading away. | |
| DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport Based on your system description your Chord Hugo TT2 is a competant DAC. I have a Chord Qutest I use in my headphone setup and have tried it in my two channlel system and with my system it is not in the same league as my PS DS MK1. I do understand... | |
| My PerfectWave dac is working! If it is the DAC, there is an easy cheap fix. There are many folks that have PWD MK2 digital and analog boards hanging around being used as door stops. They are left over from conversion to Directstream. I had a problem with my PWD MK2 and placed ... | |
| Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2? I put a reclocker between my computer and DAC and also used a linear power supply for computer. For me, the reclocker was a bigger upgrade; in this case Singxer Su-6. After looking at all the LPS on Aliexpress, I went with the HD Plex 300W LPS tha... | |
| Recommendations for Earplugs That Work – Protect But Allow Music In I purchased a pair of Loop Experience Pro earplugs ($40) and have been to a half a dozen shows since. One of my challenges is fitment, and these came with four sizes of tips so I was able to get the right fit. Real happy with the performance. Look... | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question He’s back......... so glad to see millercarbon back! So as not to totally derail thread, I do not understand the physics, but like the OP my experience is decoupling is preferred. | |
| Experienced only: What have you done with room correction? I started with quitting trying to make a mid sized strange configured room work and moved the 2 channel system to a different larger room. Used calculators to determine how much acoustic treatment where to position, and where to best position spea... | |
| In praise of the duet. I too really like duets. 2019's Better Oblivion Community Center with Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst and 2010's Hawk with Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan are a couple of my current favorites. |
