| Berkeley CA audiophile is desperate need of help It is hard to suggest fixed without knowing all the facts. However one approach to server and audio electronic crashing occasionally is to be proactive - simply turn them off and on once month making sure they actually restart and not just go to ... | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 I have used HQPlayer for about 2 years. I really like it. I upsample to 192K PCM and use the DSP FIR section (REW and rePhase - kindof a noob at that). Anyway, if you are planning to upsample to DSD, you will need some power, depending on how h... | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) Look at Salk speakers. Lots of fans on this site. | |
| Honesty is the best policy...I think. I agree with saying a reboot once a month takes care of the issue. The only computer I don't reboot often is my Pi NAS. Others get rebooted often and that puts it onto perspective. | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption I'm stuck on the part where he implies more possessions equals more free time. This has not been my experience and is one of the reasons I think before I buy. | |
| Mini PC as a streamer I used to use a pi 3 with Daphile. It was good, but a bit noisy on the USB. I read that the pi 3 has the network and USB on the same bus. That is not do for the pi 4, the USB is on a separate bus. Less noisy. I upgraded to an i3 fanless NUC w... | |

| Is there such thing as a "vocal" forward DAC? Brent Jesse is great for NOS tubes. Has a description of what the tube sounds like for the listed tubes. Another suggestion would be to try DSP. Maybe a minidsp or HQPlayer ( if you can use it). | |
| Which amp would you choose and why - Pass Labs XA-25 or First Watt F8? I considered both these amps and even asked Reno Audio for a F8. He told me to get a XA-25. Said it was a better amp all around. Took his advice and love it. I have paired with an XP-10 pre and Salk Exotica monitors. Wonderful, I have no des... | |
| Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare? I have the xa25 with Salk exotica monitors w/RAAL tweeters and the pass xp10 preamp. Absolutely no edginess at all. Very smooth. I love it. | |
| High-pass line filter to relieve main speakers from low frequency I was curious about the same thing. I decided to go this route. https://sound-au.com/project81.htm. I haven't built it yet, this fall or winter, but I have all the parts. I figured it would be a nice cold weather project. | |
| Summertime Apparently, according to American Routes, Duke Ellington was not a fan either. Though he did make a version of it. |
