| New Preamp arrived.... Before this conversation turns into digital vs analog, I would look into improving digital source for a better experience. The two areas I would focus on is Apple TV and the wall wart In your DAC. 1. Get a better streamer, like a Bluesound Node 2i... | |
| Network Switches +1, @grannyringWell said. Even though we have come a long way in last 4-5 years, we are still finding ways to improve the digital streaming experience. I get a good laugh from folks who can’t seem to think beyond 1’s and 0’s and bits are bits anal... | |
| Who needs a Preamp?? Seriously, if you’ve already set your reference point so low, you are probably seeing the expense of adding a decent preamp, power cord etc. a waste of money, right? The VC in players or DAC are purpose built. IMHO, they can never equal or replace... | |
| Ethernet Cables -- where do they matter most? No. 2 and 3. I wouldn’t go too crazy on Ethernet cables. Try Supra CAT-8 and you should hear improvements over generic cable. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supra-CAT-8-ETHERNET-cable-2-meter-Made-In-Sweden-THE-BEST-FOR-NETWORK-AUDI... | |
| New Preamp arrived.... gochurchgo, Before you switch out speakers or make any other component changes, look into treating your room acoustically. Otherwise, you may be on endless upgrade path. Contact GIK, they are fairly inexpensive. I was able to treat my room under $... | |
| Moving speakers from downstairs to upstairs, degrading ? I wouldn’t worry too much about the flooring since you have carpet underneath. Is this a dedicated listening room, are you able to treat the room with acoustic panels? | |
| Did not get weekly email from Audiogon +1, @david_ten. On the subject of avoiding threads, some members are doing a pretty good job with their childish feuds. The weekly email came in this morning, usually it comes out on Saturday. | |
| Network Switches Here is another one, AQ-SWITCH SE Audiophile High-End Network Switch from AQVOX. Dave Clark did a review on the switch with external PSU here: https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/the-aqvox-se-switch/ | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker @gasherbaum,Thank you for your invaluable feedback. I currently own N10 and contemplating my next server upgrade in next couple of months. | |
| I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes... 61falcon,The Bluesound Vault app on tablet or mobile phone does not display streaming resolution. Your DAC LED light is a good indicator of that minus the bits info. To elaborate ‘itjustnotme’ point, one mustn’t confuse the native high resolution ... | |
| I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes... 61falcon, I use QoBuz for streaming on my Aurender N10. The Aurender’s Conductor app shows each track / album resolution. I did a trial of Amazon HD and it’s app interface and content were quite disappointing. They have a long ways to go. Since De... | |
| I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes... @61falcon,If you’re new to streaming, I would not limit myself to 16bit/44.1kHz recordings as suggested above. Both Tidal / QoBuz offers high resolution (upto 24bit/192kHz) content. I would leave it up to your ears to judge if you can discern audi... | |
| Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow! mkgus,Thanks for sharing. I have not tried Black Hole yet but been using SID mat for a while and it continues to amaze me. SID is designed to eliminate reflections from the CD label and absorb the stray laser light. By using SID in my player I’ve ... | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. ^^^^bravo...hope you’re being compensated for your relentless PR efforts. | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... “Has anyone tried unplugging all of the household appliances during a listening session ... TV, dimmer switches, and especially the refrigerator?”Frank, I hope you’re not suggesting another level of sonic bliss by turning off TV, dimmer switches a... |
