| Towers with built in subs vs separate subs A built-in subwoofer will perform better for music. The texture and pace of bass notes will better match with the main speakers. | |
| Streamer software, what do you use? Fanless design is the feature I like. However, when considering the feedback on warranty issues... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? And the 28 pins chip right to the CS8412-CS is the configurable buffer memory CS8411, also available from China https://www.ebay.com/itm/162409921833?hash=item25d062bd29:g:h~UAAOSw-K9ZM~pW&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4OsghQf3cTdcrtA%2FxIlVI1%2FT... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? You are right, and that chip seems to bear a great similarity to https://www.ebay.com/itm/1X-CS8412-CS-Digital-Audio-Interface-Receiver-SOIC-to-DIP-adapters-CS8412-/120777575789?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1ee78d6d I don't own the DA... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? @mitch2 It seems that DAC-2 has a better power supply than DAC-1, which originally featured a Crystal Semiconductor CS8412 chip (handling 48kHz), as per Mr. McCormack. I'm curious about the chip used in DAC-2. It may still be the same chip since y... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics @vthokie83To clarify, my 3 ft (now 33 inches) is measured from the tweeter. So, the distance between my PR (passive radiator) and the front wall is also 20 inches. I find this to be a good compromise between the bass and the soundstage depth. How ... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? Would you mind disclosing what DAC it is? | |
| What happened to my room acoustics The stand is 32-inch high, placing the tweeter below ear level, but the 5-degree tilt of the front baffle on the S400 compensates for this gap. | |
| What happened to my room acoustics @mahgister ...Then i put bundle of straws of dfferent diameter and lenght in the rear porthole, all mechanically tuned then to increase bass depth and clarity going from the 85 hertz specs to 50 with great clarity and impact... Interesting idea... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics @mijostyn I cannot speak for Mr. McGowan, but I respectfully disagree with you regarding the distortion you have proclaimed. I believe, as a bass guitar player in a college band, I can discern between distortion and natural bass. Overly tight bas... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics @digsmithd @mijostyn I found myself repeating an experiment I had conducted before concerning the decoupler/coupler between bookshelves and stands. This might turn into he says she says situation. Among springs, Moon gel, and rubber (by 3M), once ... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics @mijostyn It seems I need to re-investigate the speaker decoupling subject. I have used the factory spikes under the stands on the tiles for my Wharfdale Linton and it works fine. Bass is agile/nimble to my satisfaction. But I have never try s... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics My stands are on adjustable metal screws, securely anchored without piercing through the carpet. Moon gels decouple so well that the vibration from the bass is not felt on the stands, and the vibration from the ground is not transmitted onto the ... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics Thanks, but that isn't the cause of the issue. As I explained, the treble dip at 12kHz is most likely inherent to the speakers, while the boosted midrange and mid-bass are likely due to reflections. I do not use spikes under stands or speakers. S... | |
| What happened to my room acoustics @erik_squires @newbee @mijostyn @rhljazz @hilde45 @audiokinesis @ervikingo @jamesw767 @aewarren @ronboco Again, thank you all for the insights and great suggestions. I think I may have found a potential solution for issues I am having. The Anthe... |
