| Qobuz vs Airplay Over the years, I've tried them all and Qobuz turned out to be the absolute best, then Tidal. I stream all Qobuz, unless an album is only available on Tidal. If you want the absolute best sound quality that any streaming service has to offer, th... | |
| Help please! Something amiss with my digital chain @ale1601: Yes, if your digital is going to be via streaming your music, then you have to do it right. My current end-game audio system is a dedicated streaming system, and in over 40 years in the hobby, I’ve never been happier. As others have r... | |
| Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus I have a Roon Nucleus Plus with 4 GB. All I can tell you is, you’re not alone. Roon does have some annoying little glitches that, because I love Roon’s functionality so very much, they’re something that I have learned to settle in with and live ... | |
| I own a Hegel H600 - how to upgrade? D50 dac maybe? @audiocanada Although the DAC sections in most very high-end integrated amps can be very, very good, they seldom are able to out perform outboard, stand-alone high-end DACs. So I would strongly recommend you explore the possibility of acquiring ... | |
| Audioquest Blizzard vs Tornado Source for dac ? I have two Audioquest power cables in my audio system. On my DAC, I use an Audioquest Firebird (source), which is an end-game PC for my DAC. Prior to opting for Firebird for my DAC, I tried Tornedo and Hurricane (both source). In the end, I tra... | |
| Mono blocks for Revel Salon 1’s recommendation? In the early 2000's , I owned and absolutely loved a pair of Revel Salon 1 speakers. At that time, I drove the Salon 1's to phenomenal effect, and I mean "PHENOMENAL" effect, with a Classe CA401 stereo amplifier. So naturally, I would highly rec... | |
| 🤯 Legacy Audio Calibre XD humming + no low ends & boxy sounding My question, exactly. You said you just recently purchased the speakers from a friend. It would seem that a friend would not have sold you a faulty pair of speakers (hopefully). Did you get a chance to audition the speakers before purchasing? ... | |
| SoCal 2025 I'm from the Sacramento area and I was at the show. I did notice that the rooms that were streaming via Qobuz sounded just phenomenal!!! It was a great show. | |
| Finally heard Accuphase Based on my experience of hearing Accuphase and Audio Note down through the years, they both make fine sounding components but, of course, they're not for everyone. Show conditions aren't the ideal place to make a final judgement call on the soun... | |
| Mcintosh MQ112 @onehorsepony Some speakers just sound inherently brighter than others, such as B&W, Magico, Focal, and many others, but by no means does this mean they're crap or incapable of sounding incredible. That's ridiculous. Sonus Faber, on the ot... | |
| which power cable and USB cable for my Innous Zenith Mk3? @grunge1000 The proof is......me. And yes, because I said so. And, the only thing that's misleading is your buffoonery. Now, go stand in front of a mirror, and argue with yourself, Lol!!!! | |
| which power cable and USB cable for my Innous Zenith Mk3? IMO--Power cords "Have Proven" to increase sonic pleasure, and I'm living proof of it, Lol!!!. | |
| Integrated amp for tube lover About three years ago, I went shopping for a new high-end integrated amp to drive my Revel Salon 2 speakers. I had the opportunity to audition many of the tube and solid state integrated amps mention here. Ultimately, I opted for the Hegel H590 ... | |
| Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport. As "audiophile1" eluded to, it's all about the DAC!!! If I were you, I would definitely explore the vast and wonderful world of external DACs for the absolute best digital sound. A few years ago, I invested heavily in acquiring a top-notch exter... | |
| MacIntosh c12000 preamp - Can not tell a difference between tube and solid state sound Match the tube preamp with an amp that gives you the sound you're looking for, and you're problem is solved. Happy listening |
