| Audio Grade Ethernet Cable A question for technically savvy individuals... Please do not send me the AI-generated answer. I have tried and it gives me two drastically different answers depending on how I ask... Q: It is known that Cat 6 can transmit data at speeds up to... | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? @mattw73 I was using a Ugreen before the LanShack. Hopefully you will perceive the improvement I did. This time, I’m not sure if I hear a discernible difference. In any case, both are better than the unshielded Cat 5e. The cable is beefy and we... | |

| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? I believe the A8 supports ReplayGain, allowing you to apply it to individual tracks or entire albums. ReplayGain doesn't involve any re-encoding or lossy digital processing—it's simply like having a servant or robot adjust the playback volume for ... | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? @sls883 Could be, but it could also be defective, since I had no issue with the other DDC. | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? @sls883 I was convinced that the Wiim Ultra / Gustard U18 combo performs quite well. Along with the Harmony Micro DAC and upgraded cabling, the system's sound can be described in three words: effortless, transparent, and depth-dealing. I like i... | |
| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? So Rex Lawson did not have to interpret for the Piano Concerto, though he did for earlier rolls made by Grieg included on this recording. @richardbrand Thank you. That answers my question. Since the picture shows him playing the pedals, I wa... | |
| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? @richardbrand I agree that Time Machine's performance is amazing. I'm not sure how Rex interpreted Grainger’s use of the foot pedals — By ear I would guess. Thank you for reminding me about L2. I was astonished to learn how productive they've be... | |
| Anyone know where to buy a quality LPS for SMSL PL200T I thought you want LPS from the get go... Good that you found you want. Enjoy it. | |
| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? Grammy-nominated recordings typically reflect the highest standards of recording engineering and fidelity. In Grammy-nominated or Grammy-winning recordings, the recording engineering approach is almost always multi-microphone technique, not One M... | |
| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? @richardbrand I do concur that the standard or reference should be the live performance. However, if a stereo system can reproduce even better sonic quality or effects w/o artificial / overdone sweetening, I consider it a bonus rather than somet... | |
| Anyone know where to buy a quality LPS for SMSL PL200T You could contact Vinshine if they carry 15VA. If they do, by no means. From the ads they have, VS only carries 25VA and you don’t need 25VA LPS for 5V/1A DC device. Also, you could go (much) higher power LPS but there is a caveat, i.e., If you... | |
| Cardas or Nordost for Simaudio/Magico +1 @ghdprentice - Use cables for tuning. I took that advice and tried Cardas Clear for my rig. It works. | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? Just shoot a video and post it on YouTube to demo the sound. If he’s interested and decides to take it, move it to the garage for pickup. I’m not letting a stranger into my house — these days, you never know what people might behave. | |
| I2S Recommendation OP, Does Holo Red have native app for Qobuz or it needs to run thru upnp? I did not see it was supported by Qobuz Connect. Is the app running smoothly in Red? Volumio Rivo + is another streamer that has I2s output and Volumio is reported runni... |
