| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) This is pretty much the reason I had to remove Klipsch, Tannoy and KEF from my short list some time ago. Too much sparkle. I’m sure with loads of EQ etc one could tame any speaker. But I love the sound of Dynaudio and Monitor Audio (Gold onwards) ... | |
| Best route to go for new dac? My experience with Topping D90 was the same as another person here. It’s very nice “for the price”. I’m in love with Schitt Modius. For 200 bucks it’s a complete steal, livens up the music. My source is a simple Mac Mini. Love it and can’t recomme... | |
| Yamaha A-S801 for Dynaudio Evoke 20 Thanks mesch. Yes it’s now in my very shortlist :) | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I would like you to share your tastes and method of streaming.My Mac Mini has Tidal and Spotify Premium. Connected to my speakers via Schiit Modius, which makes the difference between those two quite marginal to my ears. Really brings the Spotify ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Roots and Echoes - The CoralThey're an underrated band, it seems. Great musicality across the years. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? "Kitchen Sink" - Nadine Shah(Thank you @uberwaltz ) | |

| You know you are an Audiophile when: Hahaha... @highfi - "You do it in the dark./ You do it by yourself." -- this cracked me up. Absolutely. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Free as a Bird - Supertramp (I’ve been a lurker for a while because this is one heckuva thread and it’s a bookmark I’ve visited almost daily!) | |
| Yamaha A-S801 for Dynaudio Evoke 20 @mesch yes, I am interested in a one-for-all. Source is Tidal / Spotify Premium on Mac Mini (I'd move to Tidal entirely but the UI is woeful and their music selection is about 95% of my playlists on Spotify). I have a Modius DAC now, and if I wer... | |
| Yamaha A-S801 for Dynaudio Evoke 20 Thank you @mesch and @twoleftears ...will ask my Dynaudio dealers to help me test with A-S801! | |
| Yamaha A-S801 for Dynaudio Evoke 20 Thank you @douggie8. I'm looking for something in silver finish. Perhaps Cambridge Audio CXA81, but they're twice the price. Yamaha's S801 looks pretty good. Just wondering about the SQ. | |
| Why would I need Roon? Interestingly, I find Roon's UI was the major issue. I get all of those things with Spotify Premium in a much better and easier way across all my devices. Tidal, Qubuz etc do not come anywhere close to Spotify Connect. As for music quality, nothin... | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K @bdp24 in what way is Eminent Tech better than Maggies 1.7? These esoteric American brands are a little hard to find, to listen to, to get servicing for...outside of the US. So one has to be extra cautious. Any detailed review comparing it with Ma... | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K @miamiangler hope this is not a bother, resurrecting an old thread. I am in the same boat: trying to seek as best a pair as possible for a small place. Music source will be Tidal on Mac Mini (and occasionally phone), amp most likely Hegel H90 or C... |
