| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @tweak1 Actually, as true or false as it my be, none of what the gentlemen in video stated really makes a hill of beans difference to the average audiophile. This hobby is more about what captures your imagination, illusions, stirs ones emotion ... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal @stray_cat Same here!!! Although I had both Qobuz and Tidal, most all my Roon album library collection was Tidal, because I assumed they both sounded too similar to make that much of a difference. Until one day I decided to really take time ou... | |
| My Denafrips Aries 15th has too much mid -bass, anybody else?? @barfbag No, you don’t need to adjust your speaker placement or anything else. If you’re content with the rest of your audio system, you simply need to further experiment with other/different DACs until you find the one that synergizes best with... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead Don't even think about it!!! Go with the monoblocks!!! | |
| Does ROON sound different? Well, I use the dedicated Roon Music Server, the Roon Nucleus Plus (4TB), and it sounds absolutely incredible in my audio system. Happy listening. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? I understand the OP was speaking in general terms. And in general terms, DAC technology/digital/streaming sound quality has greatly advanced over the past 15 years or so. There’s now a ton of great sounding DACs out there on the market to choose f... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal @kerrbh Although my preference between the two would be Qobuz, as I believe it more consistently digs just a little bit deeper into the music than Tidal does, I still use and thoroughly enjoy Tidal when a particular album isn’t available on Qobuz... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal @mgrif104 Thank you. My Roon Nucleus Plus has been replaced by a newer model. I don’t know how much more improved the new model is over the old one. I’m sure they’ve further refined the interface to a certain degree. I know the new model offers ... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal @mgrif104 I've been using the magnificent Room Nucleus Plus in my audio system for about four years now, and I get superb detail and transparency. I know, there's always something better. However, the Roon Nucleus Plus won me over for it's com... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal Thank you everyone for all your insightful responses to this post. I knew from the outset that this post would be somewhat controversial. However, in my room, played back through my audio system, to my ears, I can hear a noticeable difference i... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal @ronboco Roon manages all my music albums/files/library under one roof, including Tidal, Qobuz, and all my ripped CDs. When I choose a particular album to play, I can also look to see a list of all the "versions" of that album that are availab... | |
| DAC recommendation for DSD input @mintakax By the way, I did end up saving $$$ buy purchasing a pre-owned unit from a reliable, certified dealer. Happy listening | |
| DAC recommendation for DSD input @mintakax My experience: About four years ago, I purchase the phenomenal Hegel H590 integrated amp, which I had no intentions of using it’s internal DAC (I heard it’s internal DAC at the dealers). Like yourself, I’m also space restrained. After ... | |
| Why some streaming hi res versions are lower SPL The answer to your question is......Who knows? That's just the way the recordings were recorded/engineered in the recording studios. I recall how there were variations in volume/dynamics that would occur, sometime, from track to track on the sa... | |
| Neotech vs Stager silver solids Before purchasing, you should definitely see if you could borrow the silver interconnects that you're considering for an in-home audition with your audio system, because system matching with silver cabling is a requirement. If you're not careful,... |
