| Shunyata Research's Denali 2000T ??? Triton v1 vs Denali 6000TI have had the Triton v1 in my system for several years now and have been considering an upgrade to either the Denali 6000 or the Triton v3. I brought a demo Denali 6000T home this week from my friendly local dealer to fir... | |
| My rant; we don't know what we don't know This is a valid rant.There is only one principle to abide by - system synergy is all important.So, listen to the component at home before committing to any purchase. | |
| Move router far from hifi components? Wifi is not recommended for hifi. Going usb/ethernet avoids these issues. My router/modem are in another room far away.But as we all know, usb/ethernet have their own issues. | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices USB vs spdif (AES/EBU, coax, optical), it depends where the DAC manufacturer chose to focus investment. Some (many?) of the latest DAC builders/sellers seem to be placing their main emphasis on superior USB circuitry. Some have effective galvanic... | |
| Music Serviers: Wyred 4 Sound MS-2 or Aurender N100H Hi nycjlee,Yes, the iFi usb 3.0 really does wonders. Link to my post from another thread :-https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/dac-regenerator-and-reclocking-devices | |
| Naim Core Hi raindog031,Thanks for sharing your unfortunate experience with the Naim Core. I almost bought it instead of the Aurender N100H but was saved by the dealer who has known me for years with respect to Esoteric products which he also carries. He si... | |
| Music Serviers: Wyred 4 Sound MS-2 or Aurender N100H Hi cdc2,I can’t comment on the Wyred4Sound but I have had no regrets with my Aurender N100H which is the biggest value component for the price in my system. It removes the leanness and digital hash from my previous PC set-up with JRiver. To optimi... | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices The 3.0 will most certainly flesh out your system sound very nicely. It did for mine making it sound balanced throughout the frequency range. Also, the soundstage opens up in all dimensions. But the one trait that I have come to value most about t... | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices Do you know anything about the new ifi micro 3.0 or Ideon Renaissance? Hi goofyfoot,I have had the iFi Micro 3.0 for some time now with it connected between the Aurender 100H music server and the Esoteric N-01 dac(silver Oyaide usb cable from the... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Yes, they can be, and better, but you must use them in the top 25% of their full output, if below they can strip bits of the music and reduce resolition.....So, we can easily compare direct to power amp at top 25% of full output of dac’s VC vs wit... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Yes get a Schiit Freya (active/passive, tube/ss, etc/etc) with remote which has a superb relay controled volume control, balanced or SE, and you can have it all, so you can see for yourself what suits. Compared to direct connection.And you can sen... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? I really don't see any point in continuing this endless debate that has been raging since time immemorial. Simply trust your own ears and cast aside all theory, dogma, aspersions, etc as to which should be right or wrong. As has been said ad nause... | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" Comparing an MQA file via an MQA dac vs a non-MQA hires file via a non-MQA dac has been touched on somewhere else.....Does an MQA file played through a supposed high end MQA dac like Merdian's Ultradac or 808v6 player sound better than a non-MQA h... | |
| Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries? My apologies for getting the MQA part wrong as pointed out to me in another forum.As for the sound degradation, there is really nothing wrong with my unit. I won't send it back for anything. It sounds really, really, really gorgeous once I roll ba... |
