| Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC YEs the 96kHz is a limitation of your MAC. you can still use your MAC? I assume you use Apple Music? @diminishedchord | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound No a JBL speaker isn't a Cerwin Vega tribute. JBL does everything with the backbone of research and development. That K2 S9900 is a great horn design as is with almost all JBL Horn designs. They're the best at Horn Loaded home speakers | |
| Tom Martin's Listening Room Why does this read like an ad? I'm all for room treatment and all that but let us not treat it like y'all have done to other aspects of audio. It is not magic ffs. It is a literal science with established rules and laws that cannot be flouted | |
| Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona? @avanti1960 I have the 888 with Class D amps and you're telling a whole bunch of crockpot. The Sourcepiint 888 has never sounded brash in any scenario regardless of the amp used. Hell, it is amp agnostic and it's not hear say, actual experienc... | |
| B&W 705 S3 with bad acoustics @renosteve AVOID THE KLIPSCH HERITAGE SERIES LIKE IT IS AIDS. And like I said your room is paramount. Anyone that tells you to get a badly executed Klipsch horn design is the reason this audio space if filled with BS Instead of directing y... | |
| Mid level listening @cdc yeah I decided to go straight to the end and not do too much merry go round tinkering. Glad I did that cos I now go to audio shows to just enjoy new gear without any itch to get any. | |
| Class d amplification The KEF has a sensitivity rating per speaker of 86.8 dB@2.83V/1m a minimum impedance modulus of 3.3 Ohms at 40Hz, 150Hz so they're gonna be current hungry speakers. so you need a high current amp that can get to sustained 80dB average SPL from y... | |
| B&W 705 S3 with bad acoustics Well, you need to solve the issue first before just buying things. Buying things other than what is necessary for room treatment isn't gonna help Get a measurement mic. This is excellent for that - miniDSP, UMIK-2 USB Reference Measurement Mic... | |
| Mid level listening @cdc for my dedicated and treated listening space: Speakers - Genelec 8361A x2 Streamer - Holo Audio Red (Tidal and Spotify Connect) Controller - Genelec 9320A SAM Reference Subwoofers - Genelec W371A x2 And for my general-purpose room ... | |
| Does your DAC sound better through the S/PDIF or I2S inputs than through USB? No it is not a general pattern. USB is almost always the pathway that can take the and transfer toe most data so yes that is just a worse USB implementation on the Gustard. Also why not just get a USB C interconnect. They're not expensive.... | |
| Best Match He should stop Bluetooth and use his network to stream @beijinglarry That is a more appreciable thing to adjust than a new DAC | |
| Multiple entry horn speakers DIY @jplunkettj . I'd say this is the best kit that is also reasonably priced - Denovo Audio Titan-815LX and maybe you can get the kit designer to do it for you or get a woodworker to do it for you. Send the kit designer am email here - Contact Us | |
| Mid level listening well, I just listen to the music I like. no need to overanalyse. I notice little and subtle things, but I don’t go listening to a song for a specific section only. that would be miserable. If I like a song, I like it as a whole. Thankfully I h... | |
| Cable Quest lol I have real gear and do pragmatic stuff like room treatment, DSP bass management and correct subwoofer implementation. I have demoed a lot of these supposed revelatory cables and didn't hear anything so drastic compared to others so I guess I ... | |
