| Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience I use it and like it. I have never used Roon tho, so I can't compare the two. Go for it. | |
| AES/EBU vs RCA s/pdif into dac, RCA analog out @ghdprentice yes, my goal is to purchase an end game dac when possible. As the cost of such a dac would be north of 10K, my plan for the time being is to optimize my current gear. While my Weiss DAC202 is an older model, it is still no slouch. Da... | |
| AES/EBU vs RCA s/pdif into dac, RCA analog out @ghdprentice, please note that there is only one dac being used in my system. I am not using the built in dac in the Aurender A20, I am sending the A20's digital signal via USB to the Berkeley Alpha USB digital to digital converter which outputs... | |
| AES/EBU vs RCA s/pdif into dac, RCA analog out @vinylshadow , that's interesting, and makes sense. Now I have to look up who Max Townsend is. | |
| AES/EBU vs RCA s/pdif into dac, RCA analog out My source is an Aurender A20 music server feeding it's usb only output to a Berkeley Alpha USB DDC. From there, I can output AES/EBU or RCA S/PDIF coax into my Weiss DAC202 (no usb input on the Weiss DAC202). The Aurender A20 has it's own interna... | |
| AES/EBU vs RCA s/pdif into dac, RCA analog out Thanks Danager. Yes, I also want to think that AES/EBU digital input must be better, but that may just be prejudicial thinking. I will have to try an AES/EBU cable to see. To make a fair comparison tho, the AES/EBU cable should be the same manufac... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC I have owned a Vac Sigma 160i integrated for 4 years. The tubes have not needed replacement during that time, and biasing the tubes needs to be done rarely, and literally takes a minute or two. It is a very simple procedure. Don't be concerned abo... | |
| Amarra a worthy investment? Thanks Steve, I'll get on this. | |
| Amarra a worthy investment? I have been using Amarra since '09 and have been mostly happy with it. I am using the current version, I may have to look into Steve's recommended older version that I surely had at one time. Steve, I assume that you are using the Amarra Symphony?... | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Hi Bobby, I had my superbam upgraded to the masterbam a while back (last year), was the cardas clear geometry stuff used at that time? | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Thuan, send those VSM-MXE's to me for safekeeping.BTW, I run my VSM-M's with a REL Storm III also. | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Bought my VSM-M's new in 2000, they are stock except for the addition of the Masterbam and Master RC network. Still running strong in the main listening room. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? Thanks Vladimir. I have to say that I can barely afford the Ultra ss version. If you have the Ultra 5's, all I can say is congrats! Tell me what they do for you, if you do have them. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? Thanks Heinrich. I'm looking forward to installing and evaluating the Stillpoints. I know you are already a believer! | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? Thanks for your response. I know that the only way to really find out is to just put them on and see. I've had many conversations with Bobby in the past and have found him to be very helpful and knowledgeable. He also knows what works best for his... |
