| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Just add Eva Cassidy’s “Live At Blues Alley” to your playlist. She does the best version of “Take Me To The River” I’ve ever heard! | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? I went from B&W to Dynaudio and loved the decision. Back in the day (2000) Dynaudio was my Holy Grail. Instantly fixed the fatigue I got from B&W. Nowadays I have found Dynaudio has shifted towards a more forward sound, not bright but more... | |
| Recommend a good router/modem combo please Hi @fastfreight Thanks man, mine has evolved too actually. I just bought my first Ethernet Switch as well. And like you I have noticed improvements along the way. I am relatively new to streaming and am loving it! And even though I’m relatively ne... | |
| Recommend a good router/modem combo please Thanks for the replies! Good stuff. Interesting @ghdprentice that you went back to Comcast. I have read the same story from others and there is definitely some frustration saved as you say if it’s Comcast it’s their problem. @mitch2 @fastf... | |
| ??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ??? Interesting question. Used to be strictly black (always gloss if available), but now I’m totally all in on walnut! Will never go back to black. For the first time ever I went walnut on my speaks (Revel Be) and they are stunning! I sometimes will j... | |
| Toslink optical cables: Audioquest Optilink 3 vs Glass? Nice! You won’t be disappointed. And even if you were Toslink build quality doesn’t get any better, like @lanx0003 pointed put the 470 strands vs the next best 300 for DHLabs (whom I recommend for any other cables, especially their Cryo power cabl... | |
| Toslink optical cables: Audioquest Optilink 3 vs Glass? Go with the Lifatec hands down! They are by far the best Toslink I have ever used. Magnificent build (medical grade) and as good as it gets imho… | |
| Revel F36 or Dali Oberon 7 I have owned the Dali OB. 7’s and now have Revel (Be series) in my main system. Whilst I have never auditioned the F series I MUCH prefer the Revel sound to the Dali’s. I had the 7’s in a second system and ended up selling them. I tried the Optico... | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? @troutbum I have the BS Icon and have a Gustard X18 DAC and Gustard U18 DDC. You can get both Gustard units for under 1K. Sounds amazing with the Icon | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers @ghdprentice Mic drop! One of the most simplistic, coherent, sensical, and best replies I have seen! Makes 100% total sense👍🏻 | |
| Anybody ever dealt with Safe and Sound audio Absolutely! Have dealt with them a few times. Both in person and internet. Aaron is awesome! These guys are 100% legit and as customer focused as any out there! Not only do they back whatever they’re offering, they go the extra mile…I’m in NH so I... | |
| I2s cable not working with my DAC All HDMI cables are not the same. However, DHLabs Silversonic 2.1 specifically references I2S compatibility. I am using this cable between my Gustard DAC and DDC. Best part is it’s under $100. Just remember keeping it no longer than 1m if possible... | |
| Recommendation for an HDMI cable under $200 for audio only Like others, DH Labs Silversonic. This cable specifies I2S compatibility. I have really been smitten with DH Labs across the board. Best part is buying through The Cable Co that is a Frequent Flyer cable and is eligible for discount.. | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? I used to read the comments here about those who suffer from Tinnitus and always think how horrible that must be. About 6 months ago out of nowhere my left ear just developed a ring. Hasn't let up since...I've tried many things to no avail, but fo... | |
| Streamer Advice I have both Bluseound and Eversolo. I love both and find both apps to be super user friendly. I'm also using external DAC's for both (DENAFRIPS Pontus II 12th with Esolo and Gustard X18 with the BS). I'd highly recommend either, but I love the vid... |
