| How crucial is the quality of a digital cable? +1, @audphile1 @motown-l I recommend trying DH Labs Digital Coax as your last dash to squeeze maximum potential from your existing setup. If you don’t hear appreciable improvement with this cable then it’s time to upgrade the DAC. The DH Labs ... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? Back in the days of yore everybody used lamp cord - and nobody complained! Back in the day we used carrier horse & pigeons for transport and nobody complained..... @thyname Touché | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? +1, @audphile1 I would look at manufacturers that are using PC-OCC copper in their speaker cables. Have fun! | |
| Aurender vs Roon A MacBook wouldn’t be a fair comparison with N100SC. If you really want to access ROON sound quality, a purpose built dedicated ROON server feeding 501/Roon ready DAC would yield comparable sound quality. | |
| Neutral Dac? @schw06 +1 on Bricasti M1SE and Tron recommendations. Both of these DAC’s are outstanding. I would have recommended to check out Merging Technologies +player (DAC+Roon player) but it’s out of your price range. When you speak to Colin about Tron, ... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender @jperry Thanks for your reply. I guess the only way to find out is try one of these newer routers/extenders if they make any improvements over my long discontinued Apple Extreme router. I have narrowed down my choices to Netgear Orbi Pro AX6000,... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender @jperry Did you hear improvements in SQ when you switched to Eero? | |
| Aurender N10 question… The solid one is the latest production. I bought the early production with vented top plate :-). FYI - N10 is now discontinued and replaced by much improved N200, used prices on both models are very close. | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System Maybe someone from @paragonss weighin on OP experience, room acoustics and setup? They carry all the brands featured in the demo. | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning @carlsbad That would be an interesting experiment, I hope someone takes you up on your generous offer. IME, all power conditioners while effective ‘alters’ the sound of your system. One may like the results but their impact good or bad is unmist... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Class A SS can be just as ‘romantic’ as 2A3 or 300B driven electronics. Not all electronics (pre or amp) with tubes are romantic sounding. The key is implementation and designers pedigree in both topologies. | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? ”The “Olive 4HD” (pretty much all Olive products)” @designsfx Olive 4HD, brought back some bitter sweet memories. Started out strong but their ‘closed-in’ operating system and short sightedness, ultimately led to their demise. | |
| DH Labs @audphile1 IME, Majestic holds a sweet spot in Zavfino line. If you recall one of my earlier posts, I recommended Fusion IC over Arcadia, your system is far more superior for entry level cables. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? You Taught My Heart To Sing - Poinciana (album) featuring Scott Hamilton playing in a Jazz Quartet with Paolo Birro, Aldo Zunino and Alfred Kramer ~ Qobuz | |
| DH Labs @audphile1 I would add Zavfino Majestic MKII tonearm cable to your consideration as well. When I went through upgrade cycle over my stock tonearm cable (Van den Hul) to Audio Envy to Majestic, each upgrade was a solid improvement over stock cabl... |
