| WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection @fredrik222 ' For me it is following the specs of the services you intend to support, and the Bryson doesn’t. It has a smaller buffer than what Qobuz and Tidal mandates as one example that I am aware of, I am sure there are others. ' This could b... | |
| WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection It’s seems rather clueless to me that certain folks wouldn’t consider the Bryston BDP 3 to be a quality streamer. Every review I’ve seen states that it is an audiophile quality streamer and is held in the highest regard. Anyway, there have been ti... | |
| Bryston Support I’ve had on and off glitches with the Manic Moose software however, I’ve always been able to remedy the problem and get it back up and running as it should. Each time however, I prematurely contacted Bryston telling them that I was having issues, ... | |
| WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection Thanks everyone. I thought WiFi would potentially sound better but apparently I was wrong. I'll look into the filter, fiber optics, etc.. | |
| Bryston Support I don’t want to get into all of the details involved but let me say that Bryston has above and beyond customer service. I would be surprised if there’s another company out there who can match them in this regard. | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @tattooedtrackman Yeah the only way of knowing is by listening. | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @tattooedtrackman The only reason a MOFI CD would sound better than the original Redbook CD is because of the remastering. When most anyone buys a MOFI CD it’s because of the remastering. The only other possible reason would be to get the SACD fil... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs First off, I think too much emphasis is put on whether the CD is gold. If you were to burn that gold CD onto your computers hard drive and then rip those same files onto a plain silver CD and play it on your CD player, you wouldn’t notice any diff... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @tattooedtrackman Generally, I would opt for the SACD layer. Please keep in mind that more recent MOFI Cd's are SACD hybrids so they have an SACD layer but if you don't have an SACD player, then you'll be listening to the Redbook Cd. With older Ul... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @tattooedtrackman You're correct, your Rega will not play SACD's. Most SACD discs are hybrids, meaning that there is a standard Redbook Cd layer that the regular Cd player (Rega) reads and an SACD layer that only an SACD player can read. Both laye... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @tattooedtrackman The MOFI Cd's are SACD hybrids, meaning there are two layers on the Cd. One layer is a Redbook Cd for standard Cd players. The second layer is SACD for SACD players. A standard Cd player cannot read the SACD layer. Occassionally ... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @stuartk It does match up perfectly with the Quads but I bought the amp first and then chose the speakers. The entire stereo sounds excellent but yeah, the ASR is my binky. | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @stuartk So above is a list of just about everything I can think of. Power cables and headphones are next on the list. Probably Sennheiser HD 800s are priority and that way I can enjoy more rock and pop. | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs ASR Emitter Exclusive II amp, Bryston BDP 3, Ayre QB 9 Twenty DAC, ASR power cable, Hi Diamond Speaker and Interconnect cables, Wireworld Platinum Starlight USB cable, Thorens Modified TD 160 MK1, ASR Mini Basis Exclusive phono amp, AT33 mono cart... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @lalitk and @stuartk, not meant as a comparison in any way but yes, I have a very nice system. Lately, I've been appreciating the quality of somewhat recently recorded ECM redbook Cd's and DSD files. I've said this often but I believe we're in a d... |
