| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono It sounds like you want to use your stereo cartridgeno.. At this point I’m not wanting to do anything other than understand what is happening. As I stated in my post .... I am exploring getting a mono cartridgeWhat’s the point to make mono press ... | |
| Streamer's without built in DAC options? How come no one mentioned the dCS network bridge? it isn’t a streamer, you to stream to it, not from itI also see many recommendations for streamers that aren’t Roon servers. assuming the OP wants a Roon server given he is using a Nucleus, of cour... | |
| searching for cables, reminded how pathetic Audiogon's search engine is not really as I can see from the pictures from the seller of how many channels it has and the type of connections it has on the back.Riley, I don't think you understand the purpose of filters. If you want to look through every single amplifier li... | |
| searching for cables, reminded how pathetic Audiogon's search engine is Riley.. really? if you are searching for an amplifier you aren’t concerned about how much power it has or the number of channels? If you have a balanced stereo preamp and speakers that need at least 100W you wouldn’t want to narrow the search to s... | |
| Streamer's without built in DAC options? I see Unsound has the same question I do which hinges on your vague request.OK, forget about vague, how about your question makes no sense? You state in your post you want a streamer without a DAC to work with your DAC and your Nucleus, but the Nu... | |
| Streamer's without built in DAC options? What type of streamer do want that works with the Nucleus? The Nucleus is a streamer... what are hoping to accomplish? The term "streamer" means different things to different people and the capabilities of various streamers varies widely. For ins... | |
| Lifetime Roon is a go - alternative to Roon Nucleus you can get a 2012 Mac Mini on eBay with a solid state drive for < $300 that will work just fine as a Roon server. Yes, it has a fan, but you will never hear it | |
| Caveat about the Cable Company return policy So I did business with them once again. Needed a single speaker cable for my center channel and they had a used one at a great price. It had the wrong termination but I intended to cut them off and run bare wire. It arrived and I did just that , ... | |
| USB sucks This is not true, even Nuno Vitorino, the boss and designer of Innuos ZEN admits that if the transport is noisy, it is very difficult and sometimes impossible to filter the noise that is mixed with the audio signal. A testimonial from Innouos abou... | |
| USB sucks I have a ZEN Mk3 and an Aqua DAC, and the difference between USB cables is significant to say the least. I am not questioning what you hear. However, it is almost impossible to believe that an asynchronous USB DAC can't be designed to be immune ... | |
| USB sucks I just dropped my cartridge needle down onto my vinyl record or put my CD into my CD player and hit play and I get great music and nothing to worry abouthey grandpa.. check the date on your flip phone, it is 2020I have discovered such a tremendous... | |
| USB sucks @antigrunge2 Since you like the Antelope DAC: may I suggest you try it on S/PDIF or AES/EBU?fair enough, but how do you generate the signals? There are a few ways I know of, Ethernet to spdif with a Raspberry Pi HifiBerry seems like a step back, m... | |
| USB sucks Most USB audio/video devices use the bulk transport because real-time delivery of the data is not necessary.This simply is not true if "most" includes the topic at hand... USB DACs? As a programmer and electronic interface design engineer, you're... | |
| USB sucks one might usefully revisit more appropriate formats (optical, I2S, AES/EBU) to improve on what is at best an unacceptably wide range of outcomes with USB;I’m pretty sure that you will get an equally wide range of outcomes using these other format... | |
| USB sucks My experience...Cables make a huge difference for sure.External clockers make a huge difference.Jitter is the plague of digital audio. It can come from transports and servers. There are devices that go in the audio path to clean it up.How do I kno... |
