| The ”sweetspot” in the Nordost line of cables I have tried a number of levels.To me Nordost comes into its stride only at their highest levels. Valhalla and above. But, at that level they are very good. I use Transparent Ultra, but if I could afford it I would be using Odin 2. I had some ... | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? @audioguy85 Very funny…🤣. | |
| Aurender to Roon Core? @lalitk +1 If I wanted to produce the best streamers possible I would not consider letting anyone in. I would want to control every aspect. It is not a negative that Roon isn’t supported, as far as I am concerned it is a positive. Aurender is n... | |

| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? It depends. We’re your original cables carefully chosen, researched across the spectrum of what is available? Then did you try several based on those you thought would be the best match? If not, it is likely of a much better sounding option. I wo... | |
