| Downloads Versus Streaming "I had made the assumption that 24/ 96 files would sound much better than 24/44.1 files but this was not the case." @goofyfoot Correct! It is not so much about the resolution but the provenance of that recording's original master. I have heard ... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming "What streaming titles are your favorites? " @goofyfoot Please follow this thread for favorites. | |
| Aurender N200 “Aurender does not support Roon” Thank goodness! Each time I met with chief designer and owner of Aurender at audio shows, I thanked them for not caving into Roon and sticking with simple yet very robust Conductor app. Consumer always wins when ... | |
| Downloads Versus Streaming @goofyfoot Enjoy, what you have. There are plenty good suggestions on this thread for you to try it out at your own pace. I do own this album in Pure DSD and it’s spectacular! | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? @vonhelmholtz In this discussion, we are not talking about mastering in pro studio. My initial post was in context of upsampling at consumer grade level, which nets nothing; all that perceived detail is nothing but a form of distortion. I do se... | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? @vonhelmholtz I hope you’re certainly not suggesting that results from consumer grade up-sampler is on par with mastering done in a professional studio? | |
| 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... |
