| Amazon abilities but with digital output... Sonos? @dtximages - As far as I know, and from looking at the Eversolo web site, the Eversolo devices do not integrate with Amazon Alexa. So with that out, and not wanting to use the 1/8' jack out of the Echo devices, off the top of my head, that leave... | |
| Need help with Roon, system output is not showing by Streamer/DAC It might be worthwhile to reboot your network equipment as well (modem, router, switches, etc.). Once that is done and running, then reboot your Roon Core, Endpoints, etc. | |
| New construction ceiling advise @livinon2wheels - I feel for you on the increase in taxes. I'm in Roanoke and got hit with the same increases... I just love how they say they didn't raise the tax rate, but rather raised the value of the property to a rediculous amount way ov... | |
| New construction ceiling advise I would caution on leaving the rafters open. While the extra height is great, the rafters would most likely would not act as diffusers, but rather create some nasty reflections and timing bounces similar to what happens in room corners. (Proper ... | |
| Amazon abilities but with digital output... Sonos? @dtximages - As @mattmiller indicated you can use a 1/8 audio jack to RCA inputs cable with most Echo devices. You can also use a Sonos Port for a Alexa controllable source, but at $450, it is a bit pricy. Both Bluesound, through BluOS, and Wii... | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair @julesg13th - 460 sqft, that is a BIG room, guessing around 20'x23', and with those high ceilings... Without actually seeing the room with all it's furnishings, etc., I think the size is going to limit you somewhat on speaker choices. Somethin... | |
| Vinyl Care @twangy57 Both MusicDirect.com and AudioAdvisor.com have good selections of cleaning solutions, brushes, stylus cleaners, etc. And MusicDirect.com has the Zerostat for $99 on sale now. - Jeff | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair @julesg13th A few things that would help for recommendations. What equipment are you running? How big is your room? What types of music do you like? Are you willing to buy used? Also, are you open to planar speakers like Magnepans or e... | |
| Saving old vintage gear is a lot harder than people make it out to be. Excellent. Glad you are happy with them. Enjoy! | |
| Chronos tweak at Axpona @jayctoy Jeff when Chronos are used they produce just about the right holographic sound on the recording, more air, more quiet , less noise floor, more focus on vocal and instrument. It just makes the music sound effortlessl. Understand, I'm ... | |
| Chronos tweak at Axpona Has anyone figured out yet what the Chronos actually does? | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? Putting all the political and economic discussion aside... and getting back to @troutbum 's original question.... The general concensus so far seems to be either a new streamer, new DAC or possibly a combination of both. And there a benefits, an... | |
| Using external DAC with preamp with built-in DAC Without knowing what make/models you have been looking at, I would caution you to not confuse an external DAC and/or streamer that also can operate as a preamp (i.e. has a volume control) with a true preamp. Typically their focus is on the digita... | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? Are you using a separate DAC with the Bluesound? If not, and guessing at your $ budget, I would upgrade the streamer to one of the newer Bluesounds or maybe one of the Cambridge Audio's. | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget @twangy57 As @soix pointed out, your suggestions and examples are all over the map. And even you admit that your experiences with the current crop of audio equipment is minimal. You are going to get a lot of good suggestions from the group, bu... |
