| .? Digital Reclocking and syncing clocks does anyone know the correct Answrrsb one thing is for sure the best measurements don’t always sound the best . A perfect example A vacuum tube amp,or preamp measure no where near as good as even a mid fi amp but it’s distortions being even just sound right to the ear I am always... | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. One of the big improvements of the Raspberry PI 4 was to separate the USB bus from the ethernet bus. Why?... Because of the noise of the shared bus. Yep! And its a big improvement. On the 3 you had to build a HAT | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. Roon NUC w/2 SSDs Custom LPS Bridge to isolate and distribute the computing load (bridge = Rpi Ethrernet in USB out) Custom LPS for that Isolation on USB --> DAC; either DAC powers USB or i have yet another very small LPS to power just th... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @cindyment Thanks, and yes, either could impact sound, and neither is completely easy to 100% eliminate. All the power supplies and isolation i refer to are custom designed and built by me - as are some of the interfaces and clocks. So with luc... | |

There is a difference. precisely my thought. Its true that 'too good to be true' generally isn't rue, but let's be real - what do you think is inside... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference mmmmm Petrus....nwo with that ANY server will sound better | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference On some other comments, i know ROON makes a big deal about plenty of CPU etc. But it comes down to two questions: 1) do you employ DSP? and 2) do you simultaneously stream and synch multiple stream? If no, it runs on about anything (e.g.: i ran i... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference I would not expect a difference between the two servers. That said, i would expect a difference between USB and COAX, although, i guess the Aurender has a very good clock (if its master). I would also guess you can get an improvement by havin... | |
| How to tame a bright system? IMO, you pairing bright sounding amplifier to bright sounding speakers, my suggestion is save your money on cable and go try some speakers with soft-dome tweeter like Dynaudio... Treat the cause, not the symptom! IMO, 2nd. And the Fire is not ... | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? You ignored everything i said. I'm not being baited. | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? Two problems with that argument. bear in mind i design these things both in T&M and audio. The first problems i "not all DACs do a perfect re-clocking, and many, so as not to over/under run buffers begin with the input timing and then reduce... | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? Cost <$100 to "isolate" USB. Most tolerable DACs already isolate SPDIF (something that most audiophiles are clueless about -- going on about isolation, TOSLINK, etc.). So there goes your isolation argument. Isolate USB and with SPDIF on most t... | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? to better understand the analog nature of a digital audio signal, and therefore what might impact it, read my (somewhat old) blog over at sonogy research .com I point you there so i don’t need to duplicate typing and diagrams. Bottom line: its not... | |
| Streaming 102 Its a bit of a nuanced issue. At its simplest, the DAC has a greater impact on sound than the streamer. But a really well engineered DAC with well isolated USB input, and really good FIFO re-clocking will obviate the differences between most strea... |
