| DACs and bass response? Steve, “The final jitter will be exactly the same, no matter what the source is” - Agreed. “You can literally compete with a $20K transport using a $300 transport and a $1400 Synchro-Mesh and Dynamo power supply” - That’s a pretty bold statement, ... | |
| DACs and bass response? @audioengr,Thank you for your feedback and sharing the link. I guess that’s one way to promote external reclocker by taking a subpar DAC/Streamer. I do not know about anyone else but IMO, SONOS connect box is a piece of crap. It’s also one of the ... | |
| DACs and bass response? @audioengr,Speaking of your Synchro-Mesh reclocker, what about DAC’s internal jitter control? Is it not good enough to reduce jitter on a incoming digital signal? I am just trying to understand the need for external reclocker. My DAC is equipped ... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) @guidocorona +2 | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? “I will say, it is 90% of the REF6 that replaced it in my system”+1, @docknow. I purchased LS28 after auditioning both at my dealer. And I didn’t think the subtle improvements I heard with Ref6 were worth twice the price. Having said that, if Ref6... | |

| Recommendations for music network player @pophaudio,Aurender N100H is a very nice streamer but restricted to USB output. There are plenty of threads on Aurender N100 and DAC recommendations that gels quite well with N100H, I suggest you do some reading before you buy N100. You will neve... | |
| Mcintosh 402 Amp in protection mode @bulldog90,Congrats on a wonderful system. What preamp you’re using? I used to own C2500 pre that has Output 1 and 2 buttons on front panels. Depending on which output your amp connected to, one of them needs to be ON (Red LED) for sound output. A... | |
| Recommendations for music network player Try auditioning Bluesound Vault 2, very versatile and amazing sound given its asking price. You also get a DAC onboard that decodes MQA** files as a bonus. **For MQA playback, you would need a subscription to Tidal. And if cost no object and you’r... | |
| ROON help needed Tidal in its native form sounds amazing, applying DSP settings is like compensating for deficiencies in your listening environment / faulty component or simply a matter of personal preference. I like simplicity, plug n play. | |
| Les Davis 3D-2 CLD discs @nonoise,Thank you for the Elizabethan recommendation. @folkfreak,‘Life in a Paper Boat’ gave me goose bumps....Kate Rusty voice is very soulful, she reminds me of Agnes Obel. Give it a listen to her Philharmonics album, I think you will enjoy it.... | |
| Les Davis 3D-2 CLD discs @nonoise,Thanks for sharing. Looks quite promising from what I read so far on viscoelastic material used in these discs. Your observation is spot on with the use of these discs in your setup. One of the study shows this material helps in dissipati... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? “Well, folks, I finally tried such and such and it actually made quite a nice change to the sound. I admit I was wrong.” Geoff, spot on bud! Nice reference to 12 Angry Men, great movie 👍 | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? LMAO 😆.....only a lunatic (not even a skeptic) needs to try a tweak 20 times to conclude its effectiveness. If you can keep up with the count, you earned yourself that liquid-metal filled goop egg Interconnect Cable. Keep it, try it in your system... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers mac48025, keep us posted. I simply love GAIA I’s under my 800D2’s. I am currently using HRS Nimbus couplers and very happy with them but keep thinking to try Iso-Pucks 😉 |
