| Ignored Offers Some folks have an overinflated value of their gear coupled with a fragile ego. After the items sits unsold for a while, reality sets and they take what they can get. | |

| Bricasti M3 vs. Holo Audio May vs. PS Audio DS @cosmic_charlie. I failed to mention that I have owned a DirectStream (most recently with the Windom firmware) and I enjoyed it. Having an ethernet connection and being a Roon end point is very convenient (to me anyhow). I currently own a Brica... | |
| Bricasti M3 vs. Holo Audio May vs. PS Audio DS I have an M1SE with the MDx board and ethernet module (which I prefer over USB). Bright is not a word I'd use to describe the DAC. About 5 years ago, I owned an Auralic Vega--I would describe that DAC as being bright. | |
| Bricasti M3 vs. Holo Audio May vs. PS Audio DS @hgeifman How does the M3 compare to the M21? On the M21, do you prefer the R2R section? | |
| eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough. eBay used to be a great place to buy and sell items. They are, however, making is very difficult/cost prohibitive for individuals to sell on their platform. Seems like they want to be more like Amazon and less like a global flea market. PayPal Dis... | |
| To horn or not to horn I happily lived with Harbeth Super HL5+ for close to 6 years, then--on a whim--I picked up a pair of inexpensive Klipsch Forte II on Craigslist. They turned out to be a gateway drug.I liked the horn sound so much that I ended up getting rid of the... | |
| Any audiophiles into motorcycles For me, people texting while driving has taken a lot of the joy out of riding.These are two of my favorites, the best upgrade I did was the high carbon brake rotors.https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6162#&gid=1&pid=7https://systems.audi... | |
| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? @treebeard1I completely understand, the terminology is definitely confusing and different vendors make it more complex by adding their spin on the terms.Based upon your use case, and the fact that you already have a great DAC/streamer, the Innuos ... | |
| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? I've owned the DirectStream with Bridge II, my understanding (at least according to the manual) is that the Bridge II provides UPnP rendering capabilities but still requires a a separate UPnP server. | |
| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? @treebeard1 While the PS Audio w/ Bridge and the Innuos can both be streaming end points, the Innuos differs in that it can be a Roon or UPnP Server and it has the ability store music locally on an internal hard drive.If you don't run Roon or stor... | |
| Why dont more standalone DACs come with ethernet??? I have a Bricasti M1SE with the ethernet module. After the MDx board upgrade, and in my humble opinion, ethernet is superior to USB.It seems like there are quite a few DACs with built in ethernet these days: Bricasti, Mytek, PS Audio, Lampizator, ... | |
| Music Servers, Do They Matter? @abdodson My experience aligns with yours; servers matter and Roon is not the best sounding software. I have an Innuos Zenith Mk. 3, I tried Squeezlite/Ipeng in place of Roon. The Squeezelite/Ipeng sound was a significant improvement but the Ipeng... | |
| Innuos update 1.4.8 Look like Innuos has pulled the update and provided this explanation on their website: "07/05/2021: Due to a few rare cases where installing version 1.4.8 caused the Innuos Server to no longer be detected on the network after reboot, we have decid... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @simao Moth Audio has been closed for over 15 years. Craig Uthus moved on and started Eddie Current, which makes some very nice headphone amps. I believe certain models can drive speakers as well. |
