| Chord Dave and lInear power supply “I’m a big believer in a good power supply” @carlsbad I share your beliefs 💯 . I am sure the stock power supply performs well but until you have compared a modified Dave with Farad PS side by side, you do not know what you’re missing out. That F... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply @shkong78 Thanks for sharing and Congratulations on improving the performance of your DAC. Looks like one hell of a upgrade to a subpar stock power supply. And if I may say so at a bargain price of €3K. One thing you didn’t report, are you usin... | |
| Fraud /SCAM Great outcome, PayPal usually doesn’t move this fast! | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? Upsampling adds nothing but distortions. Some people enjoys added distortions! IME, once you hear a DAC with a high precision master clock, you would not feel the need for gimmicks like upsampling. | |
| Accuphase E380 @discopete Given the limited availability, I recommend lining up audition with dealers in Bangkok. You should hear few systems and decide which system or a component floats your boat. I would steer clear of boutique brands, a reputed well establ... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming I agree with @ghdprentice on zero compression from Qobuz or Tidal. The differences one hears between recordings stored on hard drive and the one being streamed is possibly from having a different analog master. There are plenty of recordings that ... | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? “And I’m not talking about streaming and such, because that is relatively young in its development.” This would be incorrect as i have been streaming over 10 years now. I bought my first streamer from Aurender in 2011. The market is now flooded w... | |
| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... Great system but it appears the weakest link is Windows Media Player. Have you tried a dedicated streamer designed and optimized for digital streaming? Couple of questions, Are you a Roon subscriber and what streaming service you’re using? | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? “Why don’t high end manufacturers who are so proud of their products provide test measurements in addition to specs? ” @fleschler Why not reach out to manufacturers and ask them? I am sure if you’re seriously considering their gear, they may pr... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @mikelavigne, well said! | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? “What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?” @kota1 Nope, not needed for music in my experience. Been there, done that! Let the Dolby Atmos be limited to Movies. A well appointed 2-channel system is perfectly capable of providing immersive and natural ... | |
| Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital? “why choose, have both! streaming is wonderful... truly the world of music at one’s fingertips, all for less than the cost of 1 lp or cd per month” +1, @jjss49 @korakotta You’re are unlikely to receive a sane advise from hard core vinyl hoarder... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @goofyfoot How is your NAS (local library) connected to your system? | |
| Accuphase E380 “But I am a metal/deadhead from the west coast. I do like loud. Upwards of 92 to 95 db.” Given your propensity for ear deafening listening levels, I don’t think Tannoy or Accuphase would be a wise choice! | |
| Another one (server) bites the dust! @oldrooney Thanks for your kind comments, I appreciate it. Majority of the time, I am streaming but I do enjoy spinning my elusive collection of XRCD, SACD and CD’s every now and then on my equally treasured Marantz / Raysonic players. |
