| Worth it to add streamer to Hegel H390 Update - I added the Lumin U1 Mini and it’s a perfect match to my ears. Plus, with Lumin I can use Tidal Connect to steam directly from the Tidal app. Super happy, and think the DAC in the Hegel does a great job with the MQA. | |
| Tidal on Hegel h390 I just bought the Hegel H390. Stream Tidal MqA via UPnP (mConnect app) and works like a charm. Can also access Qobuz, iCloud, etc. works like a charm and sounds fantastic. | |
| Help! Hegel H160 Airplay and Connection TP Link will solve your problem. Use it on my H390 and works perfect. Basically you connect it to your wifi and then Ethernet out to your Hegel (or streamer or whatever). A little bit of a hassle to set up but works great.https://www.amazon.com/gp... | |
| Tidal vs Quobuz Quohbuzz haha. Really good input from everyone, thanks for turning this into a good thread! I’m an exclusive streamer because of the convenience and how many new artists/songs/albums I’m able to discover. Honestly if it weren’t for streaming I ... | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? Sorry but it has to be said: Do you people even read the initial post? You guys are going on an on about something completely unrelated to my OP. | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? @erik_squires I just listed it. Get it now in time for the holidays and enjoy the sh*t out of its dac!!! https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa75f7-mytek-brooklyn-bridge-music-servers-docks | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? @erik_squires see original post for set up. | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? Ok fellow audio friends, I have made a very non-scientific determination (because who cares about measurements that are beyond humans perception?): The Lumin D2 is light years better than the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge. This is after about 3 hours with... | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? @jackd good points, that helps with the confidence. I just don’t want to get stuck with a hunk of metal next year that’s laggy or no longer supported. @erik_squires the Empire is baller. I would never personally spend that much money on somethin... | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? OP here - I don’t have a use case for Roon. All the albums I want to listen to are on Tidal, which is my exclusive source. The Elac’s are active but 100% analog when connected via xlr/rca. Not interested in a pre-amp or separate dac. No sub. Just... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Session guitarist here, have played on numerous chart topping singles. Quality cables matter, expensive ones don’t. Whether it’s a live rig or in the studio, the average 12 ft XLR cable cost is ~$65. I have a seriously good laugh at the folks spe... | |
| What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless? Kenjit 100% a scam. | |
| What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless? Indyvw, I bought and used with KEF LS50W’s (first gen, not the new ones). Think about it this way, why would KEF provide cables that would make their system sound suboptimal?I’m fully convinced the audio industry is set up to capitalize on FOMO, ... | |
| What are your experiences with upgrading power cords on KEF LS50 wireless? I upgraded to Audioquest and it made zero difference. Only benefit is aesthetics. Otherwise, expensive power cables are a gimmick, don’t waste your money. |
