| Mac Mini As A Streaming Source I transitioned from a MacBook to a MiniMac running Audirvāna to a dedicated server. I chose Aurender running QoBuz over Conductor. Personal preference. You must audition and use the Apps and make your own choice. Using the dedicated server remo... | |
| Can a system sound too Holographic? The answer depends upon your point of comparison. If your objective is accurate reproduction of recorded music, regardless of whether that is a close miked studio recording or a single miked live venue recording, the the answer is no. If your poi... | |
| Dac that has tone and timing? Of the affordable new DACs in your price range I chose the Wyred4Sound 10th Anniversary DAC. I find it tonally dense without sacrificing high end extension, true timbre, excellent macro and micro dynamics, pinpoint imaging, and very good sound sta... | |

| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums @thecarpathian @larsman I too a Zevon fan. For me, anything from Life’ll Kill Ya can make is the list. Sad though in its concept. Another favorite where almost any cut can be can be on the list: Boz Scaggs Greatest Hits Live. His jazzy r... | |
| Upgrade decision, power conditioner or music server I know it’s been a while but I would like to thank all that recommended clean power over improvements to the DAC/Server. I just installed a preowned Shunyata Denali V1. I use WyWires Platinum Power Cords throughout. No change there. Shout out t... | |
| what to do with a stereo that needs repair Did you try: https://www.usatubeaudio.com/warranty/ in AZ. I do not have experience with them. They are a Ayon dealer. They advertise a 30 to 90 day turn around unless special parts are required. Minimum charge $145 per hour. Repair bulled ... | |
| Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording? Typo. Spell check. 4.5 fingers down. | |
| Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording? @bhvf Agreed. Katja is overly polished; however, a different genera and recording venue. The reference was provided simply as an example of what is technically feasible in live production. The reference to Young is a better example for the gen... | |
| Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording? As @bhvf explained, The Dead have always been obsessed produced recordings good sound, driven by the obsessions of the Bear and others with the visually impressive Wall of Sound (JBL, EV, & MAC). However, there were recording limitations to t... | |
| Distinctly Digital Forever? @hickamore There are many excellent recommendations from others where you will not go wrong. I use a Wyred 4 Sound 10th Anniversary DAC with an Aurender N100H and feel the results very “analog” like with dense, three dimensional images, deep/wid... | |
| Will a Chord Hugo 2 make a music streamer addition obsolete? @teh_chucksta Congrats on your purchase. The Node is a nice sounding server with good ergonomics. It will be much better than a PC upstream of your DAC. It will remove radiated and power supply noise audible as hash in the background, improv... | |
| Will a Chord Hugo 2 make a music streamer addition obsolete? @teh_chucksta Stay with your original choice of the Hugo2 or if you can swing the extra $, the Hugo TT. They are much better than the QuTest. As others have informed you all of the Chords are not streaming DACs. You will realize better sound ... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE @paul_lindemann I will not be able to facilitate your decision much. I used a Linn Unidisc 1.1 as both a player and transport for 12 years until the laser died and Linn, in all their wisdom, designed a proprietary laser that they no longer manu... | |
| Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer @muaythai Sorry. Correction. Both the N100H and N150 only have USB in. Your Cambridge will need to only connect to the Wyred4Sound. |
