| Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer Whether the DDC could help depends a lot on your DAC. It could help, or it could be "redundant" to internal DAC electronics. I do echo the idea of a streamer though. Not just for POTENTIAL sound improvement but overall function. That is, if you... | |
| Transparent Audio power cords I honestly don’t understand why these threads always have to devolve into nonsense. I’d say they start with nonsense and resist evolving into useful dialog. But that doesn’t mean cable believers can’t discuss what they want. Just don’t get upse... | |
| Battle of the Older DAC ASR is a data point, that’s all. It’s neither useless nor the last word in audio. However Amir does have a large group of followers who amplify his opinions and it can get really over the top. Anyway, I would say that opinions on DACs here won’t ... | |
| No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy? I’m not into fake reviews but the FTC can barely do its day job. How about let’s make sure that we have competition in grocery stores before we worry about what freebie someone gets for posting their whatever online. Sorry... I just haven’t been ... | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? Systems can be detailed without being bright. Or at least without being too bright. Detail may mostly be associated with treble but I find that real detail goes all the way down to the subs. | |
| Six DAC Comparison My point is that if the Benchmark is providing "state-of-the-art measured performance," then one could reasonably presume that the other five DACs, which sound different from the Benchmark, do not share similar ’state-of-the-art" measurements and... | |
| Adding tube sound to my SS system I suggest the OP could use a few more direct thoughts on what he experienced, which was that a switch in preamps provided engaging midrange but a lack of bass and soundstage...perhaps that means HF detail to pinpoint stereo image? Keep in mind th... | |
| Why can I feel vibration when I touch my network switch or streamer? Unless you keep your network gear under your pillow and it keeps you from sleeping, I'm not sure why having a network switch vibrate is of concern. | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used I agree. People just want to spend and upgrade. Those B&Ws are fantastic speakers and it's likely you have placement and toe-in work to do, maybe room treatment. The speakers are winners. | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. all good not here to argue, so please stop arguing Apology accepted We all love music and gear...I prefer the fun side of the discussions a lot more! | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Not interested in fighting with you, and you made my point. Which was what exactly? That those skeptical of marketing claims around cables should stick to all in one units? That is not a point, it was simply an attempt at an insult or to sta... | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Clearly it's under your skin or you wouldn't have chosen to start an entire thread that is basically trolling. What you just did was try to start a fight with literally no functional need for your posts. I think I saw you on the highway tailgati... | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. Your cables can’t sound that great if you got bored enough to post that. Besides, most skeptics of cables have a more nuanced view than your post implies. | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! I tend to think of detail presentation as being more in the domain of the preamp. But yes I'm sure the amp also has a lot to say about it. The two amps that I recall having the most detail were a Levinson ML-23 and a Counterpoint hybrid amp (can... | |
| Are all streamers the same? Getting to an adjacent topic, but yes, there is little logic in thinking that, as long as the server device has sufficient processing power, that the packet stream across the network to the rendering device could be any different. That's the beau... |
