| How many systems do you have? @61falcon What about your back yard? | |
| Some Little Truths about AES/EBU. Well my felling is that the AES interconnect between my Aurender W20SE and Audio Research Reference CD / DAC 9SE sounded best. Maybe that is why. | |
| Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think. I recommend an Aurender streamer.The best you can afford, used OK. Streamers are user friendly and sound better (in general and definitely as costs rise). Aurender has a well loved app for ipad or phone Conductor to control. These guys at any leve... | |
| Wireless vs. Ethernet for Streaming I use a wifi extender (wall wart… $69) next to my system and plug my Ethernet cable into that. I have a very good streamer and it buffers and presents fantastic music regardless of the current status of my internet provider or the wifi. | |
| DACs oh my! Congratulations on your purchase. Speakers that express the sound you are looking for are the foundation for a great system. I and a lot of folks pursing high end sound see each step taken as a step in the right direction. Hopefully your speak... | |
| Library disappointment? When systems are relatively new. interconnectivity or inter change is frequently not there (career in information systems implementation). I am not into play lists, so I was fine starting over when I went to Qobuz… their selection of high Rez musi... | |

But the biggest thing is musicality… the warmth of the beat draws you in ... | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? In many respects… the real high end stuff has always been primarily an old guy thing. As a young audiophile I used to drive up to Phoenix from Tucson to the Audio Research / high end audio store to look and listen. The only guys walking out with n... | |
| Best server to use WITHOUT Roon I would say Aurender makes the best streamers. Widely known to have the best software: Conductor. Cutting the PC out of the loop can vastly increase sound quality. | |
| A Journey, A Revelation and Wonder @dadork Yep, you got it. 😁👍 | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? In conclusion, there are a lot of us old farts on this form and got the bug very early in life. | |
| What gear is on the horizon? I have an amazing and incredible satisfying system (my user ID) . My great digital system… with primarily flagship electronics equals in sound quality my really good analog end. Fifty years of pursuing the high end has taught me that… the performa... | |
| noise distortion for certain tracks That happens on some recordings. Other media or mastering ,any not have the problem. |
