| What qualities stand out in really good solid state preamps? I’m surprised at the lack of focus on the relationship between the preamp and the amp. In my experience, the electrical characteristics of the preamp’s output and the amp’s input has had the greatest influence on getting good SQ out of the match. ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? LOL With respect, that is not LOL-worthy. At least if I understand your proposed logic, that because a USB cable and a coaxial digital interconnect sound different to you, that the inner construction of a computer can effect what is received f... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I am very familiar with Synergistic Research digital cables. Your input is appreciated. Just to point out, those are not network cables and what we are specifically discussing is if some electro-noise at the server end can effect what is recei... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I disagree, you seem quite closed minded. Relying on science and engineering isn’t being closed minded. I have honestly and sincerely considered the points put forward by those who believe two servers with identical software configurations but ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? The arrogant puffery here is funny for its sheer lack of social inhibition. Boy, this is a game of whack-a-mole, that’s for sure. But what really gets me is that when someone has nothing substantive to offer, they have to attack the messenger. ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? The K41 server has two ethernet ports- one purposed for input and one purposed for output to the player. This is a cool configuration. I happened upon something similar by accident when I was trying to shield my very old, but still super quiet... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I added ferrite cores to my ethernet cables as a wild guess at reducing radiated noise but no idea how effective that is. This is not my area of knowledge, so just passing on what I've read. You may want to Google the efficacy of ferrite choke... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Well jji666, you have a contra point to every point. That is called being pedantic. Or, maybe, just correct? As above, ad hominem attacks really just affect the credibility of the attacker. I wish you happiness enjoying this hobby in you... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? take your server/player to somewhere where their is a high-end "audiophile" server/player, setup with appropriate highly revealing other components and cables and compare. I believe I've already done this without having to take it anywhere. I... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Read the link I posted previously from Antipodes. I had scanned it before, but I have now read it closely. Actually, I think it supports the position that the server end of a server-network-streamer configuration does not contribute to SQ,... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Some folks just can’t get out of their own way. They rather choose to butt heads and throw around their expertise irrelevant to the matter on hand 😊 Now now, no need for ad hominem attacks because someone posts a contrasting viewpoint. That re... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I think you just need to go a good audio dealer and ask them to play you your favourite track with a macbook and then a high end streamer to prove it. I have actually done quite a bit more than that. I've been building all variations of PCs f... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Have you ever tried to catch a chicken? Imagine someone throwing a floating candy in a stream of water, and then 1 mile downstream you pick the candy out of the stream Read the link I posted previously from Antipodes OK, so we have chic... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Imagine someone throwing a floating candy in a stream of water, and then 1 mile downstream you pick the candy out of the stream and eat it. A low grade computer is a contaminated sewer infested stream, with industrial waste, dark brown in color. ... | |
| 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 ... |
