| Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new) Laiv (Live) Harmony DAC https://soundnews.net/reviews/sources/dacs/laiv-harmony-dac-review-could-this-be-the-new-benchmark-under-5k/ | |
| Solo streamer I thought that the WiFi connection was a tick sonically below the wired connection. I had a similar experience with my secondary system via Wi-Fi with or without the extender. The degrading is ever so slight but audible. | |
| Solo streamer Yes, that was exactly what I was saying earlier. If he sticks with a "not bad but not great" DAC, based on GoldenSound’s evaluation during the N200 evaluation period, he may not hear much difference or improvement due to the DAC’s limitations. Th... | |
| Solo streamer Five years, from 2017-18 when the B. DAC3 was reviewed and measured by Stereophile and ASR, to 2022-23, is a significant product cycle for DACs. The premium-priced DACs that received favorable reviews back then may not even stack up well against m... | |
| Solo streamer Read this review and do some additional research; it will soon become apparent that his DAC is likely the next weak link, restraining N200 from revealing its full potential. https://goldensound.audio/2022/04/06/benchmark-dac3-b-review-good-ish/ | |
| Solo streamer @mdalton I cannot speak for anyone who has disposable income to procure 'expensive' gear for hobby or entertainment. However, compared to the Aurender N30, which costs $25k, the N200 is more affordable for those who can afford it. Perhaps sometime... | |
| Solo streamer @mdalton Over the course of 3 hours, you went from the N200 being over your budget to ordering one? Hey, the key phrase is "I can afford it." Life is short, and what is money for if not to enjoy it? You weren't born with it, and you can't take i... | |
| Speaker Cables For $300 @jrwaudio it seems Muscular is what you have procured, which claims "Ultra Low Resistance Design", but there is no where that you could pull the 'R' information. The conductors inside are not even twisted as other cables they have carried for noi... | |
| Speaker Cables For $300 +1 @inagroove My experience has been that great-sounding speaker cables can be found at every price point: I can contribute the low-cost cables I have been using, including: Micca 14 AWG: Introduced by Steve Huff, this cable is a bit rolled ... | |

| Could Class D really be that good? @eddnog Did you also receive two complimentary MUSES 02 op amps? It would be interesting to compare those with Sparkos... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? It's interesting how varied our preferences for music can be. The experience of music is deeply personal and subjective, influenced by many factors including the melody, lyrics, and the emotional connection we have with a song. For some, the qual... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? Thank you, @helomech. I went back to look at two reviewers whom I have listened to more closely: Soundnews and iiwi. Soundnews rated the A8's dedicated line amp section very highly and considered the DAC section as good as the Gustard A26 (anothe... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? @helomech The DMP-A8 has state of the art transparency as recently confirmed by Stereophile’s measurements. Would you please indicate the source for it? Thanks. | |
