| Great network streamers with only USB outputs Sorry, @bunkertoy I hadn’t noticed you’d bought into the Antipodes ecosystem. Yes, company offers superb support. And they’re genuinely good people. I’ve met both Mark Cole and the owner Mark Jenkins. And many people have no idea how much better s... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs I had a Signature Optical Rendu Se and my unit had only USB but I believe newest model has added a port, like maybe AES but unsure. In any case, I LOVED Sonore and it does support Squeeze, of which I am a huge fan even though I had a lifetime sub ... | |
| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? I just purchased and installed the new, Shunyata Theta Ethernet cable and it is STUNNING beyond belief. I honestly didn't believe an ethernet cable would matter so much given I am already using a fiber optic network. But this one cable running fro... | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal Qobuz absolutely sounds better, with a vastly superior collection of high resolution files, and if you choose to upgrade to their premium plan, you have the added benefit of being able to purchase the files for half off of the regular price, which... | |
| Best HIFI Stores LA/Orange Scott Walker Audio. Has Acora from Canada - said to be the bomb! Expensive as in close to 40K but granite cabinets. Has Magic, and Ideon, for example | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer I was using some VERY good power cables - Nordost as well as a few higher end AQ cables. I "discovered" Cerious Tech LUMNISCATE cables last year and started with 2 pair of interconnects XLR cables. WOW! Had a discussion with Bob Grost the owner an... | |
| Power cable Advice... You cannot do better at ANY price than a Cerious Tech Lumniscate cable. it runs about $1599 but there are deals from time to time - particulate if purchasing multiple cables. Lumniscate cables complete transformed my stem and were if particular be... | |
| Cerious Technologies I don’t spend a lot of time on this forum but now that I happened by I’ll just add my two cents. I met Bob Grost a little over year ago since we discovered we were neighbors, living within 25 minutes of each other here in the Valley. My interest w... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I have had a Small Green Computer and I think Andrew Gillis builds great machines. And I do not believe that our server can contribute to the ultimate sound quality of a system nearly as much as a streamer or player. That much is certain to me all... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I believe this thread is which SERVER sounds best, as opposed to which STREAMER? But in answer to your question regarding a cat 6 cable connecting the K41 and the K22, yes, confirmed, though not my first choice and likely not the final solutio... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I can tell you that from having owned the Antipodes K41 for the better part of 2 months now I’m extraordinarily impressed by the sound and the level of support from Antipodes. Mark Cole is the best. I have it paired with the K22 player feeding a M... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision The Mola Mola Makua preamp (many say) sounds as good as many 30K preamps. I think current MSRP is 13K or so. Presumably this is out of range for your budget based n what I have red. If you can find a used one...go for it! They are built like tanks... | |
| Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!! Congrats and no surprise; I have gradually been upgrading to the Cerious Tech MatrixV2 but primarily to his Lumniscate line of power cords and interconnects as well as speaker cables and my system sounds EASILY 25 % better today than it sounded 6 ... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! So CLEARLY misguided says the man who so CLEARLY never listened to a quality streamer. More false, naïve and misguided words have ever been spoken. I speak these words from a position of authority bc I have a great, state of the art in the Mola... | |
| CD Transport Personally, if your deck has support for I2S, I would not consider any transport that lack support for this protocol. I can tell you from personal experience, the disparity between an AES connection and I2S is quite significant.. I presently have... |
