| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? it sounds better. it does. Not sure if this is jest. But if it sounds better, which empirical result I am open to, then it is because there is a different configuration. The server is not sending the same set of bits, which necessarily means ... | |
| shy about prices So I could put it here Ah, sorry, didn't pick up on that. | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I'm talking about the SQ of a server when using an endpoint over a network. It is the same set of bits at the receiving end, no matter the transmitter. That exact configuration is all I'm referring to. As I said in my post above, if that wasn'... | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? There are a lot of well-off individuals posting here. Not to be critical, but simply more about how much financial risk one can take in their audio journey. To me. it’s about Synergy, not $pending. That is not to say more dollars doesn’t get you ... | |
| shy about prices Don’t some manufacturers restrict advertising pricing? I thought that was part of some agreements relating to authorized dealership, which is tied to the ability to enforce warranties. It may be obsolete in the internet age, but I always looked at... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? My plan is to continue using a reliable, well-built, server, somewhere south of $5K, Part of the point is you don't need to do that, albeit I am not criticizing the choice. It's more of a matter of convenience if you want auto CD ripping and t... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? "It’s about server streaming to endpoint over a network." That is exactly what I am doing, along with having optical fiber isolation of both the server and the endpoint from the network. Sorry, should have been more clear - the reason I adde... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? OP: I don’t know exactly how those two different servers run Roon - it’s possible they’re adding some DSP or otherwise doing non--Roon-standard manipulations. But if not - same Roon version, same configuration, across a network, bit perfect is bit... | |
| Vinyl Records - Shipping, max/min temperatures Not something I even thought about when we moved and had the records stored by the moving company for 2 weeks. Records were fine. Just pack them well. | |
| Thank Heavens For The Internet World Used/ Pre-Owned High End Audio Market!!!! Totally! I've acquired many a piece via Craigslist...some from Audiogon, Ebay, and Reverb... | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? You need to save up for a Wadax. That is the only chip-based DAC that sounds any good, You should write for Colbert. My suggestions: Mac Mini USB to DAC probably isn't optimizing the SQ. Some aspects are theoretical but before you go and ... | |
| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. I suggest one can take the article at multiple layers. The audio achievement...impressive; the family's life...somewhat tragic. Things have got to be pretty serious to disown a son. Perhaps it wasn't solely audio that caused that, but still, t... | |
| Indispensable Tool! But you work out because your body has healing ability and it grows back incrementally stronger. I'm still waiting for hi-fi gear that will do that. Actually I'm not since that's one step closer to Skynet. I suppose this tool, which appears t... | |
| Indispensable Tool! No doubt imagination is part of scientific discovery. Can't say otherwise! It just ultimately has to be more than that. | |
| Indispensable Tool! I love how people who support edgy tweaks compare themselves to the Wright brothers or Galileo. Those people had scientific knowledge they were applying to a new or newly evolving field. They were not just trying every suggestion they got from the... |
