| Yet another streamer options thread... I built mine some time ago while I was still working, mostly as a fun project (like I needed an electronics project for 'fun'...I was an electrical engineer). I think it is a 3B+. So sounds like I would need to get the latest and greatest V5. I... | |
| Yet another streamer options thread... @cutthroat My piCorePlayer uses a 7" touchscreen. It's just a little too big to fit where i want it to go. Are using USB output to your DAC? | |
| Yet another streamer options thread... @cutthroat The piCorePlayer won't physically fit where I need it to go. @foamcutter The WiiM Ultra is currently in my headphone system. I would buy a second one if I decide to go that route. The only thing it is missing is balanced output, b... | |
| Yet another streamer options thread... I'm leaning towards the DMP-A6 at the moment. Is the upgrade to Master Edition worth the extra cost? | |
| Yet another streamer options thread... Node Icon has top mounted controls. This is probably going into a cabinet and they would not be accessible. Also. i would like to be able to sync it with my other streamers. Otherwise Node Icon seems to have everything I would want. | |
| Yet another streamer options thread... @v-fi Headphone out is not an absolute requirement, as I have a dedicated headphone rig. I don't suppose you have ever used the Squeezelite interface? | |
| Help deciding between two speakers. I have a fair amount of experience with vintage Infinity. IIRC the RS3A was a particularly difficult load, probably not a good match with you tubes. Also the mid is pretty much unobtainium if it needs to be replaced. I don't really have any rec... | |
| New vs uses in your current setup My system is 50/50 new/used. The more expensive pieces are the used ones. | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! I worked as an electrical engineer for over40 years and have personally designed and tested hundreds of printed circuit boards for both military and commercial designs, and have reviewed many more customer PCB designs as well. Audible noise comin... | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? All, I've been starting to work thru the suggestions. I've heard some pretty good stuff, but so far nothing that is exactly what I'm after. I suppose I need to build a spreadsheet to keep track...I'll post another update next week. Thanks! | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? @bigtwin, my sentiments exactly! Everyone else, thanks. I've got a lot of music to check out. I'll report back later. | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? You know, the usual suspects: Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Doors, Steely Dan, Petty, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Cars, that sort of thing. It would be good if any new recommendations were available on Qobuz I have to admit that I mostly liste... | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? @gdaddy1, Band Made is not my cup of, but my sis is a big k-pop fan. I think she my like them. @kofbaffour, your selections are interesting but a little too electronica for my tastes. Keep the suggestions coming. Thanks! | |
| How large (or small) is the audiophile market? I suppose to clarify, I would consider an audiophile to be anyone how cares about music reproduction enough to have some sort of playback system besides a smart phone and earbuds or an Alexa device. When I was in college it seemed that pretty muc... | |
| Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds I've always been a big Stones fan, but I thought that album was mediocre at best. |
