| Gustard R26 - good but not the one This is probably the 1st time that I observed a used Qutest dropped below $1k. Grab it while you can if the quality is that gooooooood. Personally, I think the Chord DACs are overpriced for what they are but maybe they are worth every penny given ... | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? +1 @yyzsantabarbara Cover-up is probably the best way to keep dust and moisture out. If you maintain a good habbit covering the speakers up you will find the huge difference after a few years' use. | |
| Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files Got it. Almost make a mistake. What brand do you use? | |
| Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files Power over ethernet or ethernet over power? Confused again but who cares as long as it works. Thank you @ghdprentice. I like awesome tech like this... | |
| Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files Also, based on my limited knowledge, Aurender does not have a Wi-fi or BT components built in (see below) but you could add an optional wi-fi adapter to enables WLAN. The Conductor app works on LAN in either hard-wired or wireless form but defini... | |
| Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files I was confused. Wi-fi is a type of "internet" or "LAN (Local Area Network" too that is shared between mobile devices via hotspots and radio wave transmission. The difference in terms of communication standard is that Ethernet is IEEE 802.3 based a... | |
| Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files Thanks and I figure that is similar to the USB port housed in some CD players that can be hooked with memory stick or storage for playing digital files sequentially. To that end, I think FiiO R7 provides a better music streaming / playback experie... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? @navyachts How dare you bring up a less than a $100 DAC that receives tremendous rave? 😊 Someone playing god father here will be mad at you. | |
| Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files Nope, ifi zs does not support BT and that is why I am asking the question. And I can tell you why I am asking the question BECAUSE the ZS’s wi-fi suddenly quits on me. The plug-in internet is still working but wi-fi connection is DEAD. In 8 months... | |
| Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files Although not what I am looking for but it is good to know Auralic Aries G1 could stream music using BT when the internet is out. Thanks, @jond. It will be a viable option if the G1 is equipped with latest BT standard as mentioned by @vonhelmholtz | |
| Good streamer that does not need wi-fi or internet to play local files Let me reiterate I am NOT planning to use BT to play the local files but to "control" the music playing. The music playing is thru the USB connection which support hi-rez files to which I was referring. I have two humble systems including Wharfed... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? According to Ken, the internal Dac of Airport Express (AE) seems decent if what you have is the newer 2014 model. I am not an expert on measurement. Just to compare several key parameters such as (1) SNR on AE 103 dBA vs 120-130 dBA on the most of... | |
| What DAC to buy? I had Pre Box S2 for a short while but returned it due to some issue. Then I replace it with Topping E70 Velvet (E70V). Big difference. Much solid bass slam, excellent dynamics, sweet midrange, detailed but not analytical treble (unlike all previo... | |
| Why Do You Listen? A Poll Question SOUND | |
| Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return... Please be advised that not everyone can give credence to the headphone listening system due to various reasons such as hearing health and disconfort of headphone wearing. I understand the definite advantage of no box and room effect elimination f... |
