| High end Class D amps? Based on the photos of the inside of the Rogue “tubeD” amp, the amp uses a standard class D module with a proprietary tube input stage and a linear power supply. | |
| Recommendation Temporary DAC BiFrost doesn’t have an AES input which is what the OP was looking for. | |
| Recommendation Temporary DAC Could mean that the OP is using an AES/EBU connection. There aren't too many < $1K dacs with AES inputs, but the two mentioned in the OP do. There are plenty of DACs with balanced outputs though. | |
| Has Anybody Had Success Going from Ethernet Streaming to USB Streaming? I have recently made this kind of switch, but I also added a new component that makes a big difference. I was using a Roon ROCK NUC, through an EtherRegen to a Bryston BDP-2 streamer and then via AES to my Terminator DAC. I tried connecting the NU... | |
| Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i I have seen a few people comment that they hear a difference between Roon and other apps. Before I started using Roon a few years ago, I was using jriver and didn't notice any change in SQ switching to Roon. At the time, I was using a Windows PC a... | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable The PTFE tubing can be found at McMaster-Carr for a good price. https://www.mcmaster.com/ptfe-tubing/high-temperature-tube-sleeving/Thanks for the pointer to get the silver wire. - Jay | |
| Notifications when someone comments on my virtual system I sent Tammy an email. That will be nice to have that functionality. Happy New Year everyone. | |
| Notifications when someone comments on my virtual system I think maybe you have to have "someone mentions me" checked in your account profile, but I could be wrong. | |
| Notifications when someone comments on my virtual system Thanks. Too bad you can't get a notification email when someone comments. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I think it is perfectly reasonable to report that you weren't happy with the particular VTV model you have, but to lump all products that use the Purifi module in the same bucket is pretty rediculous. I haven't personally heard any products that u... | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable @ozzy - where did you buy the solid silver wire and the carbon sleeved jacket? | |
| How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ? These were all great amps. I owned an ML-2, ML-3 and No 23.5 in the mid 80's. I started with an ML-2 but I was driving Magneplaner Tympani-IVs in a very large room. At low volumes, it was absolutely exquisite, but it ran out of power at louder vol... | |
| Bryston BDP-1 vs Bluesound Node 2i I have a BDP-2 with upgraded IAD board. Also have a few BS Node 2is. Connected to my Schiit Yggdrasil A2 and Denafrips Terminator, the difference is definitely noticeable, particularly comparing AES connection from the Bryston compared to SPDIF fr... | |
| HDMI (i2s) recommendations for Denafrips Gaia -> Terminator @docroasty - took your advice and ordered a 0.75m Tubulus Argentus. Thanks for the help. My Gaia arrived yesterday, so I've only got about 24 hours on it, but it's definitely an improvement. Imaging is sharper, a bit more detail, and bass has more... |
