| Why do people like reel to reel players? OP, I have the same question. I asked what is the source of music on that thread mentioned by @mgattmuch (?)… and really didn’t feel like I got a satisfying response. I think… there are few. I can see if you are recording live music. But for the ... | |
| Variable stream transmission quality I was trying to say you have a very good DAC… @lowrider57 +1 | |
| Variable stream transmission quality What is your streamer? You have a very DAC… and I assume associated system. I have been streaming with a high end system for four years… and 15 years before that. And I find the sound absolutely consistent. My streamer cashes the data.. so it ... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE @mathiasmingus Thank you for your kind words. BTW, Bard is Googles AI. I have been really surprised how good it is at these kind of esoteric questions. @jastralfu Each system is different, and how it will sound within that context. In your... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @platypus22 Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your comments… However, without context it is hard to gain any insight. What are your components and venue. There is a place under your user ID to put photos and identify your components. A bi... | |
| DAC Recommendations In 4k Range Used I would save up for the T+A DAC 200. Fortunately it is a DAC and preamp. Whilw]e technically you may not need one…. You need one. The T&A is a good one. | |
| Did I damage my new amp Sorry to hear of your misfortune. You are not the only one to have done something like this. I think it most likely the speakers might have been damaged, not the amp. Your right it would have likely shut down. Typically the tweeters might have... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE I would recommend the Yggdrasil. It has a very well balanced sound quality for its price. For fun I asked Bard. This sounds like a pretty good comparison to me. Comparing and Contrasting the Sound of Border Patrol, Denefrips Pontus II, and... | |
| *DAC I am always suspicious of the claims of sound quality comparable of components 3x in cost. If you carefully choose a DAC that fits your values in sound quality I suspect you will be very surprised and happy in the $5 - $6K range. I would have ... | |
| Do dormant cables need "RE" Broken In? If so how long can they sit dormant? Unfortunately, yes. But typically it is only a few hours. Just playing around with them can require some additional breakin… but not long. | |
| Lifting the Christmas veil Congratulations… what a great present and wife. | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ Congratulations. | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @audphile1 +1 | |
| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? Lumin is a excellent quality streamer and will improve your sound quality significantly depending on your system… DAC, preamp, amp, speakers and venue. Roon is search and recommendation software and at best will not reduce the sound quality of... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ @fastfreight Thanks for your comments. I think you did a good job of capturing the nuances of reality. There is a trade off between investing in a very good streamer and also upgrading network components. I have one of the finest streamers… a... |
