| Gustard R26 finally excels via I2S input! I run a Denafrips Pontus II with a Hermes DDC via I2S. Before the addition of the DDC I thought the DAC was excellent but the after the DDC took it to another level. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Billy Joel Turnstiles. Just watched his 100th show at MSG I had recorded from last month. He still sounds so good. | |
| Sound Quality @navyachts no apologies necessary my friend. Hope you are enjoying your new streamer. I’ve been on the hunt for one myself. Not sure whether to get an Aurender or an Innuos. | |
| Sound Quality At the risk of sounding like a pedantic a**hole, there is a difference between an SD card (secure digital) and an SSD (solid state drive). The OP keeps using the term SD card. I realize the confusion has been cleared up, as it was asked twice, b... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? @grislybutter we were not well off when I grew up either. I do remember listening to my parents collection of Billy Joel albums though when I was all of maybe 10. I think they had maybe five or six albums and that was it. That and The Beach Boy... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? I grew up right at the crossover from vinyl to cassette tape so I never really got into vinyl. I have wonderful memories of listening to the radio, particularly at the community swimming pool, all through the seventies. I think that’s what draws... | |
| Best Covers @steve59 no you are not alone. Blinded By the Light is one of my favorites. | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? @roxy54 i could not agree more regarding additional tracks on remastered albums. | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? @ghdprentice +1. I find myself almost always being drawn into the music rather than listening to my system. I often find myself tapping my feet in time. I never really thought about it the way you expressed it. | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? Hard to say since it’s relative to what you like and how your system sounds but it sounds good on mine. Definitely bass presence but not too much. There are a few songs that sound anemic on my system but that’s just the recording since others so... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Disagree. If the reason is the pursuit of the best sound the system can create in that space then it has nothing to do with being conditioned to think acoustic treatment equals true audiophile. What is the definition of sounds fine by the way? ... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Oh, and you both hate bookshelves but wish you had them. I’m not judging you just making some observations that make the point of the thread hard to follow. By they way, how do you like your 901s? | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? I hardly feel that corner bass traps and very modest absorption panels in a furnished room is a serious effort to acoustically treat the room. It may not be but it’s still treatment as well as your rug. You treat the issues you have in the roo... | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations @brylandgoodman you will not be disappointed with the Fritz. | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations Overloading a room with a larger speaker is a myth Maybe. Maybe I don’t mean overload but I certainly don’t have the space to take advantage of what a floor standing speaker would provide. I just know when I turn it up past 80db or so it’s ... |
