| Roon - streaming only...where'd you get your NAS? you do know you need to also run one of the streaming services as well ( if you do not have music stored locally) as Roon. Roon is only an interface and organizing program not a streamer in itself. so you will need a tidal, Spotify etc account as ... | |
| Possible New DAC for Discrete Opamp Rolling I've been using an older ( V3's, I believe they are up to V5 now) set of the Burson Op amps in my DAC. It allowed me to hold on to my ancient MSB DAC for another couple years. I'd say the Burson units have improved all aspects of the sound. most n... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad I have my system and tv in-between, no other choice so I deal with it. but I do find if I angle the TV (mounted on the wall) up apposed to down it makes a difference in the sound staging. quite noticeable. not sure what is better but it was an eye... | |
| Dragonfly DAC The Dragonfly DACs need a USB input and have a micro headphone output. I have a black and Red both are excellent for the money. The dac plugs into a USB on your computer and outputs Single ended into a mini headphone jack (you would need a mini to... | |
| Yamamoto A-08S SET Amp w/ 4-ohm 93db speakers I own a Finale Audio 300b SET ( same company as Triode Labs) and I have to say its wonderful and very well made. So my vote is for the Triode labs amps they are very nice and made in NA. I'd also get the upgraded transformers I have Hashimotos and... | |
| Using Solar battery for DAC and Pre-amp I think there was someone on here that uses a batter power supply and solar to power their whole system. if memory serves He used a goal zero Yeti and clamed it was very good. and powered his system for many hours. it intrigues me as i have bad p... | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced I agree why buy more stuff when it sounds great. turn it up more. you could add loading resistors to the input if you want to change the loading or see what would be the best load for the cart, at least you will know what load setting your shooti... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp Good point Millercarbon one other thing to consider is the Marantz actually true balanced or just single ended looking as balanced. True balanced is a lot harder to do and can give benefits in cable cost and ability to run longer runs. true balanc... | |
| I wonder why...... I've always wondered why there is a difference with a couple feet of power cord when there is literally thousands of feet-miles of wire between your power generator and your equipment. lets not even get into the wire in your house or what's inside... | |
| Roon - streaming only...where'd you get your NAS? Roon is a great add on to Tidal, if you like how they organize your music which is quite good. Also IMO the main reason to have Roon is the discovery feature that shows similar music to what your listening. great way to find new music. DARCO did a... | |
| Denon dead? I’d look locally for a Tech and pay the service charge of a look see. If its worth fixing after a look see then go for it, if not then you know, and have not spent any serious money. My tech charges one hour labour for diagnostics about $50 I thin... | |
| Klipsch, high end? I have a friend who runs Alnico le Scala's he has the riser mod with 2x 4" ports in front. that riser extends bass down into the mid 30's hz range making them much more fuller sounding and IMO takes them from ok to great. I agree they can if not ... | |
| Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170? Grats on your perches I'd be interested in knowing what you think of the Micomega and its version of room correction. I've heard the Anthem Pre with arc room correction and was quite impressed. I was also looking at the Anthem-Lyndorf but was hesi... | |
| Portable budget system. Class D Audio Question if she already has Schitt Audio pre why not one of their amp's Vidar probably best suited for her speakers and same price range as the Class D amp. not that there is anything wrong with Class D, though it is probably smaller. | |
| Emotiva vs Burson Audio I'm not sure if your asking about Op-amps or the whole DAC, I use Burson Audio discrete Op-amp replacement components in my MSB DAC to very good effect. So if your looking to replace the Op-amps with their discrete Op amp replacement then yes go f... |
