| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @yoyoyaya - Thanks, I got lucky. A local business went under and I managed to pick up a bunch of their equipment super cheap prior to the public auction. Thing is, if you know what you are looking for, you can pick up a lot of refurbed Cisco and... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @yoyoyaya @jeffbij re "Even a CD player has safeguards to guard against read errors, it’s called oversampling." CD error correction is based in Cross Interleave Reed Solomon coding. Oversampling is primarily used to allow shallower slope anti... | |
| Is it better to get dedicated monoblocks instead of bridging stereo paired amps? @dman777 - You don't mention what speakers you are using. I'm suprised no one has mentioned it yet, There is one thing that happens when you bridge a stereo amp. The amp will see the speaker impedience load to be one half of the rating. I.e... | |
| Best Cheap DAC Streamer The WiiM's are also Amazon Alexa enabled. So you do have a level of voice control. How well it handles the voice commands, I don't know. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @cleeds I having to remember and Google. It was a few years ago. The modified DLink was an Aqvox. I remember that because there was a Linus Tech Tip on YouTube that did the tare down. I also seem to remember there was a Paul Pang modified DL... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @curiousjim I guess parts is parts and pieces is pieces and it don’t matter in what order they go cause it’s all gonna sound the same. Simply...No. Most of the conversation so far has been on digital data transmission and receipt. While the... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @hbarrel - they appear error-free to users because of sophisticated error detection, correction, and redundancy mechanisms built into the system. Here’s how they ensure high reliability despite the presence of noise... Exactly! This is the ke... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @cleeds - I haven't done much with switches labeled as "audiophile" grade. So, as I indicated, I don't know what they have all done inside other than changing out the power supply. Some may be completely reengineered and use top notch jacks, po... | |
| Integrated all in one for a second system I would second the current Hegel integrateds. Just to note, they are also a Roon Ready endpoint, which will get you Tidal and Qobuz. I'm probably going to go that way myself on the bedroom system and downsize the stack of equipment in there. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier - I usually stay out of these conversations because they always seem to go sideways and inevitably lose the point of the original post. But today I have stepped into the fray.... So, here is my take on things... I agree with your... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @mswale, I agree with you. @jsalerno277 you wrote: Your minor premise is that these digital packets successfully travel thousands of miles through AWS’ digital sewer, only to arrive in our homes completely unscathed ones and zeroes. Facts pro... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 @twangy57 - As I mentioned before, the main indicator to identify a high current amp is does the rated wattage double as you drop from 8 ohm to 4 ohm. There are plenty of "modern" amps that are available. But, as you noted, the impedance requi... | |
| Need help choosing speakers for Outlaw Audio receiver agreed... get the KEF. | |
| Need help choosing speakers for Outlaw Audio receiver @snookpatrol - What kind of music do you typically listen to? And how loud do you typically play it? | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 @twangy57 - Over the last couple of weeks and multiple treads on speakers, amps, streamers, etc., with all the recommendations, information, suggestions, etc., that have come them... (whether they are Good, Bad, or Ugly - queue up a picture of... |
