| Sound quality differences in streamers I've made the decision and have ordered Volumio Rivo+ w/Lineo5 power supply. Will hardwire to a wifi extender with Ethernet port into MHDT Orchid. Hopefully this is a cut above laptop USB to Orchid. Hell of a discussion this has been - | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers O P here. I appreciate but certainly didn’t except this many responses on a subject which has been hashed over before. Thanks. I was this close to ordering the Volumio RIVO+ plus outboard power supply but because I am initially planning on WiFi co... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers Great responses still coming through, thanks. However, I should clarify my interweb signal which, due to my “remote” location and where my listening room is situated is via WiFi only, no hardwired connections. So cleaning the signal with line swit... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers Great insight here on many posts, thanks. Grinnell, I was thinking WiiM going to my MHDT Orchid. But don’t want to sell myself short. Hence the inquiry. A friend uses the WiiM and I’ve found the software very user friendly which for me is pricele... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS As mentioned earlier efficient horns with a large woofer preferably of 15 in. work well at low volume. Klipsch Cornwall lV may fit the bill. A quality amp where, again as mentioned, the first couple watts are clean, such as a number of Class A ... | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay Denafrips has certainly been "the" DAC for the last two or three years. It might be fact of the sheer number of them in the field but there always seems to be an abundance of used models for sale. I'm trying the Mhdt Orchid which is quite a pl... | |
| It’s true what they say/and a question Yep, Marcin is a tremendous player. I have CD’s/hard drives of his work. He also plays with Manu Katche band. Both artists are on ECM which are always great recordings. Soix, if you’re a drummer you may know of Katche who is an unbelievable drumme... | |
| DAC upgrade from RME Indeed it does but still comes off as strident. And while I do favor detail it comes with too much sharpness. And while I may be considered a simpleton I find the menu system extremely frustrating to use. And yes I am considering a couple pieces o... | |
| DAC upgrade from RME I have added a LHT linear power supply to the RME . It may have added a bit of weight but it wasn't a revelation. | |
| DAC upgrade from RME Thanks guys. Any users/samplers of the Audio Mirror Tubadour(s)? They seem highly appreciated and I’ve dealt with Vlad in the past. Owned both his 20 and 45 watt single ended amps and still own his older T-61 preamp. Great CS. Soix - I agree abo... | |
| DAC upgrade from RME Thanks - I’d prefer a higher end unit which would mean used. I forgot to mention Audio Mirror in my search. Tubadour 3 preferably 4. I can’t see spending more than $3K, three and a half max max. I’ve seen two Mojo’s that fall there. Thanks | |
| Used tube preamp $2-3K I’ve certainly given thought on Audio Research but I get lost with their many models. And the need to have tube replacement done at the factory seems extreme. Assuming this applies to preamps as it does their power amps. Don Sachs pieces seem to... | |
| Used tube preamp $2-3K Thank you Gents. Aric is a builder I have noted and corresponded with in the past. Good idea. My Audio Mirror uses small Russian signal tubes like a 6n1p or the like. It is not based around the 6922. Model is T61 I believe. | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Esoteric F-01, Esoteric F-02 or Dan D'Agostino Progression Wow. So now we’re buying/recommending Hi-Fi gear on the makers political views? I imagine if your favorite US based speaker maker farms his manufacturing to China that’s an automatic “do not buy”? To which I ask - do you carry a smart phone? | |
| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? Having owned nearly every model in the Klipsch Heritage lineup and today with a pair of LaScala and what has become known as “underground Jubilee” in house I find it hard to accept saying a speaker is horn loaded when the woofer remains a ported d... |
