| Streamer recommendation under $3000 This streamer/server has it's own software that works from a PC. https://power-holdings-inc.com/Euphony-PTS-Music-Server-Silver-p137093165 | |
| Expert Advise Needed on Streamer - DAC combos. Lumin D2 or Teac NT-505. I have owned both and prefer the DAC implementation in the Teac with the AKM 4497 chipset. The Teac also has the ability to work as a stand alone DAC. As they use the same software the operation of the two devices is the... | |
| Streamer recommendation under $3000 Lumin U1 Mini, Auralic Aries G1 or Innuos Zen Mk III. All streamer only and Roon Ready. | |
| PROAC D48R Bass Booming Too much speaker for too small of a room. | |
| Need recommendations for a new pre-amp (SS) to possibly replace my Conrad Johnson @sunnyjim The S-300 needs to be left powered on all the time to achieve optimal performance from it. Still even under those conditions that thin somewhat edgy sound is typical from the the generation of ICE modules used in that amp as they are fr... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? With it’s SE and Balanced inputs and outputs plus fully adjustable gain from 0-25 db the base Chardonnay is flexible enough to be with you for years. To stay close to your total budget you can buy a brand new Odyssey Khartago for $995 and have a g... | |
| Who supports Amazon in a streamer? There was a list on the Amazon HD webpage. | |
| DAC Option in Modwright LS-100 I owned a LS-100 with a Kismet a one time. Was a very good combo as Odyssey amps love tube preamps. The AI with it's high gain is not a good match with Odyssey amps as their input sensitivity is only 1 volt. | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @yyzsantabarbara I assume the STP-SE you are going to try is the Stage 2, as there is a pretty big difference between it and the standard version. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread If you don't need the phono stage then the Cortese isn't in the mix. The difference between the Chardonnay, which I own, and the Cabernet seems to be mostly in the power supply. For now I see the Chardonnay as being my final preamp. I have enoug... | |
| Is anyone using a external music server with the PS Audio Directstream Dac??? PS Audio doesn't have a choice of which app to use with the Bridge II as the creator of mConnect is also the manufacturer of the Bridge II, Conversdigital. This same combo is used by multiple other manufacturers. With most of them the board is ha... | |
| Can you tell me why I didn't like the Reference 3a MM's? If you restricted to a placement that close to the wall then you might want to look at a front ported transmission line bookshelf like the Reynaud Bliss Jubilee. Call Bob Neill the US distributor and proprietor of Amherst Audio and see if he think... | |
| Is Rethm Gone ? Last I checked Walter at Underwood had some of the models. | |
| Streamers with I2S connectivity Having a streamer and dac with I2s does you no good if they are not pin compatible. The safest bet whether or not it is your preference is the Matrix as it is somewhat configurable. Audiotroy from what I understand about the Aqua version of I2S fr... | |
| Suggestions for a top flight streamer/Dac around the $2000 mark? I've owned both the Lumin D1 with the Sbooster LPS and the Teac NT-505 and while they both use the same software the Teac has the better DAC and the better sound to my ears. |
