| Which ones should I choose? Tannoy Kensington Gr or B&W 804 D4 Another vote for Tannoy! | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @gregjacob Don’t audition Chord DAC unless you have a flexibility to return it. | |
| Joni Mitchell remasters on the way You get appropriately rewarded if you keep an open mind….nuff said! | |
| First Streamer... Get your feet wet with Bluesound Node 2 and sign up with Qobuz to take advantage of highest resolution available (upto 24bit/192kHz). The DAC inside Rega CD player is a good one. I would use a good quality Coax cable between Node 2 and Rega. You ... | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? +2, Conductor App from Aurender To Roon or not, it squarely depends on your choice of hardware. Majority of the hardware providers has taken an easy way out of not developing their own app interface and chose to adapt Roon. For that matter, I ad... | |
| Joni Mitchell remasters on the way The technical notes shows average of 12DR for all four albums which is pretty good. And Bernie’s is darn good at remastering albums. Enjoy them in 24bit/192kHz on Qobuz! | |
| Audio Research Dacs 7, 8, 9 Unless you own all ARC system (Pre and amp), I wouldn’t recommend pursuing a ARC DAC 7, 8, 9. I used to own DAC9 in all ARC system (Ref 6 and GS150). Also, you may run into USB audio compatibility issues with ARC DAC’s. ARC didn’t adapt to USB 2.0... | |
| Phono Stage Upgrade @thr1961 I recommend looking into Konus Audio phonostage. I have heard nothing but high praises. Reach out to Colin @gestalt audio (Nashville, TN) for further consultation. | |
| surrender n200 vs n20 If you’re going to use the DAC inside U300, I would ask the Aurender dealer to afford you a demo on both N150 and N200. In my opinion, N20 would be a overkill with U300. | |
| Dedicated NUC/Nucleaus vs shared PC (w Fiber Media Converter connected to Endpoint) @truongv0ky If you’re running Roon, I believe with Lumin you need a headless NUC for Core. Alternatively, Lumin is perfectly capable of streaming music natively with Qobuz or Tidal through its proprietary app. Innuos is capable of both Roon core... | |
| Dedicated NUC/Nucleaus vs shared PC (w Fiber Media Converter connected to Endpoint) “But is there a big difference of sound quality if we have optical isolation between the shared PC and an endpoint ?” This would squarely depends on your rest of the system. You may hear the difference by upgrading to NUC or you may not. I doubt ... | |
| Audio Rack Opinions @thr1961 Good call, I know you’re done as far rack solutions goes :-) | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Another vote for Aqua La Scala Optologic, especially if you can score a pair of NOS Telefunken tubes. | |
| Sternklang Cables @lak Not at this time, mainly due to my hectic travel schedule. Hopefully by next week, I will share some more thoughts. I am also expecting Sternklang speaker cables by next week. | |
| Bragging rights..... @mapman Ah….I remember that now. I bet LS50 + SW308 sounds pretty awesome in your smaller room. My first “future fi” experience was 14 years ago when I dumped the Onkyo receiver + 5 Polk Audio speakers in favor of SONOS Soundbar. |
