| Interesting video on cables @soix I have an MA8900 integrated, the Denafrips Pontus II 12th Anniversary, the speaker cables are Vogue Audio Silver Strand cables, OSD Aurum power cables for the DAC and the integrated and Fritz Rev 7 SE speakers sitting on 24” sand filled spea... | |
| Interesting video on cables Ha! I just looked at the Denafrips DDC lineup and i meant to say Hermes not Gaia. @soix your link sorted that mistake out thanks! | |
| Interesting video on cables @soix I love the Pontus, it is a great DAC.Thanks for the links and advice. I was thinking I needed to go middle of the lineup for the DDC since the Pontus is kind of in the middle but good to know the Iris might be worth checking out, especially... | |
| Interesting video on cables @soix, it’s all good. I did hear a significant improvement when I switched from my MA8900 internal DAC, connected to my Mac via USB, to the HiFi Rose. The Rose was a little glitchy so I returned it and bought the Pontus II 12th Anniversary DAC. ... | |
| Interesting video on cables @soix the quote from my post made me realize I'm was not clear in what I was attempting to say. I did not intend to state that the Thunderbolt cables in the video were at all similar to audio specific cables. When I said that the "principle" app... | |
| Interesting video on cables @soix I agree and understand that this particular application of USB cable is geared towards computer applications, the point I’m trying to make is that not all cables are equal. This video is a great example of that even if it’s not audio specif... | |
| Interesting video on cables @bigtwin yeah when I saw the board with power supplies and integrated circuits it blew my mind. The CT scan was amazing as well. | |

| Primer on SSD and internal hard drives Sounds like your streamer is compatible with both a 3.5” HDD/SSD and a 2.5” SSD. Both connect internally via the SATA interface (which is just the standard for connecting internal storage). I prefer 2.5” SSD cause I like the smaller form factor an... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... My MA8900 never runs hot. I don’t think it lacks detail either. I find it to be an excellent balance of smooth and detailed. I’ve heard the 611 and 1.2 in a dealer room and I’m sure they would be an upgrade but I’m really happy with my setup at th... | |
| Favorite Eagle @mtbiker29 if you also include the James Gang with all of his solo work there is a lot there to admire imho. | |
| Acoustically Treating a Bomb Shelter +1 on taking measurements with some software like REW and a mic like miniDSP Umik-1 that will work with that software. This way you’ll know where you are starting and can sort out the right issues instead of just putting things up on walls and cei... | |
| Favorite Eagle Take It To The Limit is a good tune for sure. | |
| Favorite Eagle @rpeluso i don’t listen much to them anymore either. I was thinking more along the lines of Joe Walsh’s solo work and his work with the James Gang. I think discussin title isn’t what I was after. I’m asking more along the lines of which Eagle h... | |
| Pink Floyd Aficionados Where in the track is it? I’m listening on headphones and can’t seem to find it. |
