| Basic switch....should I upgrade? @wsrrsw I’m aware of latest offerings (Muon filter and Rubicon Ethernet switch) from NA albeit at higher price point. You may try EE8 and see if it’s worth the improvements in your system. You can read up on Muon and Rubicon switch here, http... | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality “the Nogami sounded better” @grannyring Darn it 😊 I have requested Colin to sent over Nagomi for a head to head comparison with Zavfino Majestic MK1. As always, I appreciate your candid feedback. | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality @grannyring, The iFI Elite power supply is pretty darn good. Are you planning to use Nagomi with LPS feeding the Rubicon? I’m very curious to learn how much Nagomi is contributing towards what you’re hearing vs a PC in $500 range? You know where ... | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality @grannyring Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. I’m not at all surprised by your impressions as I know exactly how good…nah, scratch that, how awesome streaming can sound given the proper ‘noise’ treatment to the digital bits or... | |
| Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter @stephens770 Not sure why other phono’s in Parasoumd lineup don’t offer rumble feature. When I tried zphono_xrm with my Thorens TD 1601 (Hana ML Cart), I was pleasantly surprised how well zphono performed. Dead quiet, detailed and well balanced.... | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? “Less of a chain (wires, power et all) to me makes sense.” That’s why I’ve been recommending trying Network Acoustics ENO passive filter. It is probably the most effective noise filtering device without the ‘extra’ baggage (LPS, clocks, Ethern... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread “Will the Hijiri SM2R-L deliver this improvement? ” @grannyring I honestly believe so and A200 would be the perfect candidate of this amazing cable. | |
| Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter Here you go, great sounding phono for $500 and the features you are seeking. https://parasound.com/zphono_xrm.php | |
| Ripping CD's to load onto a new Aurender N20 Server/Streamer @cjlundgren You’re welcome! Enjoy your N20 and don’t forget to listen this amazing streamer in “Critical Listening Mode” for next level subtle but noticeable refinements. | |
| Which device makes for a better digital music source? Computer or streamer? @2psyop IMO, both Node and Vault should sound better than a general purpose laptop. Even with a software like Audirvana, mass produced 'stock' laptop remains inherently noisy. The noise generated from laptop circuitry and on ethernet line greatl... | |
| 33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better +1, @holmz …..You won’t know until you compare both side by side. I just looked at specs on both records. The 45RPM Lacquer cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio so 45RPM should be slightly superior sounding. And the 33 1/3-rpm version presented on... | |
| From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion @kray Lumin T2 is a easy recommendation since you’re already familiar with Lumin and it has what appears to be an outstanding DAC based on Sabre ESS Pro Dual Chips. Given the used price difference between U1 mini with s/booster and T2, T2 is a n... | |
| From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion “I’m looking mostly used, so I can try a ton of stuff and resell if it doesn’t work.” @kray There is a brand new Lumin T2 on Audiogon at almost 30% discount or a used T2 for as low as $2800, well within your price range. https://www.luminmusic.... | |
| Roon Nucleus as a Streamer @navyachts As per your last post, you can start off with Node 2 and use existing DAC in SPL. Many online vendors offers Node 2 ($550) with 30 days return policy. The Node 2 also comes with an internal DAC so you will have an flexibility to compa... | |
| From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion “I feel sure that the aforementioned Merging Technologies + products (at over twice the retail price of the MA3 including the SGC i7 server)” To my best knowledge, Merging +player with built in Roon Core / end point retails for $14K. In compariso... |
