| Is USB audio dying? Are there any inherent advantages to handing off audio to the dac via USB?Asynchronous USB has the same advantage as Ethernet or Wi-Fi - making internal DAC clock completely independent from computer clock. In contrast S/Pdif transmission is pro... | |

| Best speaker/system piano concerts "Personally, I do not like what warm sounding equipment does to the sound of a piano. Warmth is wonderful on vocals, guitars and certain instruments, but it beats against the stretched overtones of a piano. The overtones in a piano occur at slight... | |

| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Erik, they stated "fundamental" . For harmonics they claim 17kHz (hard to believe).I found that high "C" for soprano is about 1kHz, but they can produce "whistle tone" (or falsetto) at D7 or 2349.3 Hz and this is the highest voice human being can ... | |

All have very different radiating patterns, and all have ardent fans.It is not a dispersion pattern for ... | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? A speaker with tight dispersion can sound better in the sweet spotDifferent speaker - not the same one. It appears that you like 2.5 design and not listen anymore. |
