| How important is the source used with a DAC to obtain optimal quality from Tidal ? A Raspberry Pi could work as a streamer and improve the sound. Pay attention to the interface card and the power supply. Or buy a ready made one. Costs $100 and up. | |
| Need helpful recommendations for next two purchases +1 @kairosmanFor streaming you can try a Raspberry Pi based solution, there are a couple. You can also assemble the RPi yourself if you’re good with computers, then the cost may stay below $100.https://volumio.org/product/volumio-primo/https://orc... | |
| Is imaging reality? You can read some reviews by John Atkinson at Stereophile. He has made a lot of recordings and usually rembers a lot of how the mics were placed and some of how it sounded and comments on differences or similarities.Mics are often placed a bit to ... | |
| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail The speakers I liked the most at shows or dealers was larger Focal Utopias and Magico M6 nut these are very expensive. As someone said the MBL 101 is also really good. Try them to see if you like them, sounds different from most box speakers. I th... | |
| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail I 2nd Borresen 5 which I have heard at a show and add Stenheim. I have only heard the Alumine 3 but was very impressed and would listen their more expensive models if I could afford them.Or Bayz Acoustics. | |
| Can anything be down about this? There must be an agenda! Unless they have clipped it it should be fairly easy to improve it if you can create filters or make a program that fixes wav- or flac-files. You might not get the exact original waveform back but something that pleases your ears more.Have you tri... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Another idea, if you push your budget and/or get a good price the Borresen 01 have gotten grat reviews and I've read about many people saying the bass is much better than you would think from the size. I have heard a larger Borresen and they were ... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience One of the best imaging demos I've heard was the Bacch SP processor driving Fyne 701 speakers. Very impressive but expensive. Fynes has a lot of speakers and they seem to image very well. I was thinking about buying a pair myself. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Audio Physics and Boenicke image really well, I've heard them a few times at audio shows. | |
| Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?... I have actually heard them both with and without the BXT. They are better with but the price goes up a LOT.I don't think they are the best on Earth but they are very, very good. I remember thinking that I might be able to save up for them without ... | |
| What are the sexiest components ever made? I don't think the term "sexiest" is very good in this case but the combination of best looking and most spectacular looking components are for me mostly turntables. There are a lot of them.Except TTs I also like the Sonus Faber speakers, some Avan... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? I just assumed it was sarcasm and a play on the earlier thread https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/should-people-with-no-turntable-or-reel-to-reel-be-considered-audiophil But you did manage to get a lot of responses.Regarding the sokogear thr... | |
| Really need some help finding a full range speaker If looks are very important then Totem has some nice models. I liked their older models but have only heard the new a few times at audio shows and don't really know what I think about the sound. But they are very small and looks easy to place in a... | |
