| LAIV Harmony vs R26, tune into 12:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJm6-77fN-s&t=317s | |
| LAIV Harmony Hans' not-so-much-hype comments was not isolated. Passion for Sound had some reservation too, but both of them mentioned the I2S connection renders the best sound quality. I personally will appreciate honest critiques rather than hype. Remember, t... | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? The amount of markdown you can secure when buying used audio gear, like in other markets, depends on various factors including competition and current market conditions. For example, before COVID-19, it was easier to get a 20%-25% markdown below M... | |
| Integrated Suggestions for a Garage System SVS Soundbase ($600 open box) - mixed review though Wiim amp ($300) - mixed review too but for a garage no brainer; You might want to wait for Wiim amp Pro version which is supposed to fix most of the cons; The Wiim Pro Plus + Fosi V3 stack ($23... | |
| Solo streamer How can you not be convinced to buy an N200 now, folks? No excuse is accepted other than "I could not afford it." Also, pair it up with BM DAC 3. No excuse is accepted because you could definitely afford it. | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? If you are sure it is your end-game speakers -> buy NEW If you are NOT sure it is your end-game speakers -> Buy used and flip it later if you are not satisfied. | |
| Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation Don't think front-ported speakers or speakers without rear ports can be generally placed directly against or near a front wall. These speakers need room to breathe. However, there are high-quality speakers specifically designed to be positioned cl... | |
| 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... |
