| Bluesound mode not really cutting it OP Received the Cambridge cvx v2. The dac sounded flat. Surprisingly, the MXN10 feeding directly into my Parasound sounds great, just as several reviewers have mentioned—definitely not a wall of sound. Perhaps Black Ice is in a relatively diffe... | |
| " the best Tweak ever in the entire audio industry" First off, the YouTube film that Fosi put forth is meant to assist people in making their buying decisions. If you’ve already purchased the op-amp and are using it, there’s no need to watch the film. Of course, an educated audience should be aware... | |
| " the best Tweak ever in the entire audio industry" @jastralfu Very good. You got good ears and educated enough to use headphones. How many of you hear what @jastralfu heard? | |
| Lumin D2 or Aurender N100H Just found a blind test on Node and D2 w/ SBooster LPS, which exactly the same streamer setup I have an eye on. With his friends five of them conclude there is no sonic difference bet. Node and D2 heard from the system he has for the audition, in... | |
| " the best Tweak ever in the entire audio industry" Results are mixed. Judge for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrqVYE4_v1M&t=128s | |
| Which power cord should you buy first I bought 10 awg shielded power cable for my power amp first and, gradually, 12 awg or 14 awg shielded cables for the rest of the gears. My Monster power conditioner has a pretty beefy shielded cable so I don’t worry about it. | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay The Gustard X30 was just announced in June and became available on the market this August. While I haven’t heard it myself, it has received top ratings for soundstage size, to the best of my knowledge. I just wanted to bring it to your attention. ... | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it @helomech I owned A6 for a 30-day period, auditioned Node X and now had MXN10 under my possession (and planned to keep it for my 2nd system). Here are my impressions: A6 -> a bit too bright and SS is within speakers. Nothing special not worth t... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @mclinnguy If you challenge this common sense, the burden of proof is on you. Even if the degradation in sound quality isn't audible, why would anyone bother adding something unnecessary or unbeneficial? | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Well, I use a Denafrips Iris Fed from my iFi Zen Stream (with iPowerX power supply) and the improvement is significant. Well, that’s your individual anecdotal opinion, but I’m not sure how credible that statement really is. If I recall correctl... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? The need for a DDC is very system-dependent. Making blanket statements (like some folks) about its necessity often overlooks the specific characteristics of one’s setup. If a system already has a clean digital source, like the iFi Zen Stream, whic... | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it @gkow4three Yes, both CXN100 or V2 (8) and MXN10 (4) have presets. | |

| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? @dxbwineguy @tubeguy76 Agreed, given the fact that IO being five times pricier than Klipsch 8000F II. Based on what I had auditioned in the past (in show), I was impressed and definitely would think the IO is a much better performer sonically. ... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @jetter Trust me, that guy is probably the only one who would make such a bullying statement on Audiogon for now. Just ignore him. When a mad dog barks at you, do you bark back? No—you ignore it and walk away like nothing happened. It shouldn’t bo... |
