| Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home My dealer has let me demo speakers, turntables , subs, DACS. They even let me demo a pair of Focal and Sonus Faber at the same time. But I dont ever do it unless I am committed to buy from them and they know that. I would never demo and then bu... | |
| Advice for bookshelf speakers Nice pair of Dynaudio Evoke 20 over on USAudiomart. I push s pair of Evoke 10s with my Denon AVR and I like the way they sound and look. EVOKE line also has a center channel | |
| More Roon Questions Lets say I want to listen to Dark Side of the Moon... Is it easier to grab the album from a pre downloaded file off of the SSD card than it is to just stream it off of Qubuz? Regarding the above question: Somebody tell me how you can download a... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? just a suggestion: SGC Sonic Transport ROON Optical Rendu into the Hermes SGC | |
| Is the PS audio M1200 D class amp worth buying or should I stick to A/B class mono amps I can't speak to the 1200 but I had the entry level S300. Ran cool and provided years of trouble free service. | |
| Digitest @mahler123 What did you move to after the BDP-3. Had my sites on that unit but its footprint is wrong for me. Been looking at the Moon Mind 2 or an Optical Rendu. I keep waffling on staying/abandoning ROON. | |
| Digitest The Wadia is an ESS Sabre implementation. | |
| PS Audio M700 with the Vandersteen 2ci I don’t know about the 700 but I ran the s300 which is similar class D design. I fronted it with a tube Pre and it gave me years of trouble free enjoyment. Ran nice and cool. | |
| Digitest @curiousjim yep . I know it’s controversial and I put it in there as full disclosure. When I upgrade this DAC I proly target one that is not. | |
| Digitest Thanks @fuzztone . But maybe somebody else might be?If anybody is interested in owning a Bryston streamer they will be running it or someone who is considering working up a home grown streamer using available open source applications. | |
| Qobuzz - Spotify If your ok with current SQ just get a iPAD mini and dedicate it to your rig as a streamer and just use the Spotify and Qobuz apps as you do now. I think you can still buy iPAD touch online at Wal-Marts and the Amazons. Are you going digital into ... | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC You can find Bryston BDP-3 for good prices used. But I think the storage has to be external (attached or nas). I have their BDP Pi and switch between Roon endpoint and standalone. SQ is really good for such a small device. It will also contro... | |
| Help recommend a good tube preamp Looks like the BP17 output impedance is between 340 and 420 Ohms as measure here: | |
| Help recommend a good tube preamp Might take a look at the Bryston BP 17 cube. balanced impedance is 4.5kΩ. @jbuhl That is very high output impedance - too high for me to use I just realized that is listed as input impedance. Output is not listed :/ | |
| Help recommend a good tube preamp Might take a look at the Bryston BP 17 cube. balanced impedance is 4.5kΩ. If you step up to the BR 20 you get their DAC module (which you already have) and streaming platform. There is Also a Modwright LS300 over on TMR for $11K. Don't know anyt... |
