| what laptop computer for music only Zoot,Is this going to be your first venture into computer audio? If so, a laptop is ok as it's all in one, simple, and not expensive. You can decide later if going nuts makes sense to you.This question has come up often and I've gone into lengthy ... | |
| Best Minimalist DAC? Mordante,I have an Octave mk I and cannot recommend it high enough. My only source is a very optimized, no-fan/no-motors PC running Win Server 2012 in core mode with Audiophile Optimizer, JRiver, and into an Audiophilleo 2 with PurePower. Two year... | |
| Midbass differences between Hypex NC400 and UcDs? C'mmon guys, give me a break.While everything has to do with everything, we all know amps and other components have sound characteristics of their own.Anybody willing to help? | |
| Best Computer Speakers Another very satisfied customer with Audioengine A2. Mine are connected to a Squeezebox Touch. I haven't compared to other models mentioned, though, but these sound awfully good for their size and price. | |
| Recommend a subwoofer? Another vote for Rythmiks here. I replaced one Rel with two Rythmiks - for the same money - and couldn't be happier. Very, very good choice. | |
| USB SQ, what can one expect I second the recommendation of dBpoweramp made above. Computeraudiophile.com made a "guide to ripping CDs", a 2 or 3 years ago which Is based on dBpoweramp and which I follow to a t. Takes away the learning curve and you do the setup work once and... | |
| USB SQ, what can one expect Red,Is your Dell dedicated to playing audio? Having a dedicated computer can make a significant difference as you can get rid of multiple programs running in the background (including anti-virus). Is it a 64-bit computer? If so, I've had very good... | |
| I Think I'm Going to Build ncore Monos I've been thinking about the same, but I'm now going through an ambitious DIY speaker project and need to stay focused. I've been impressed with the knowledge base at diyaudio.com regarding speakers. It might be worth searching for these builds as... | |
| what drivers are best? thinking of a DIY project Are you thinking a single driver speaker or multi-way?Passive or active crossover? DiyAudio.com is the place for that. I'm scratching the surface, looking at building a 4-way active system. I started a couple of threads there you might want to che... | |
| I need help with this please. You are overthinking this. Been there, done that!Assuming your speaker upgrade is not in the distant future, I suggest you do nothing now and think thoroughly through the speaker plus amp combo. Spend as much as you can there, listen to as many co... | |
| Rives Audio No More Bummer! Two months ago I was discussing doing my room with them and eventually decided to postpone the project another year.Thanks for the heads-up, though. | |
| Best 2.0 powered computer speakers? Chiming in late, I realize, but my two cents: I own Audioengine A2 and they sound really good. I have them hooked to a Squeezebox Touch, that has a good DAC section, and the sound from the A2 is surprisingly good (in the context of their price and... | |
| 6 or 8-channel DAC suggestions? I also thought the exaSound e28 was promising. So much so I went ahead and purchased an e22 (top of the line, 2-channel). Unfortunately it underwhelmed me sound-wise.Playing PCM through JRiver, be it 16/44 or 24/192, it did not outperform my Audio... | |
| Define power hungry...B&W speakers Tntate,I thought by now, after twenty-something replies, it would have been clear to you there is no such answer.An approach could be to search A'gon Virtual Systems and threads and look for what amps people use with your speakers, or very similar... | |
| Define power hungry...B&W speakers Bombaywalla,I think you misread my post. I was comparing the MC275 to the MC252, rated 250W per channel, solid state, by the same manufacturer, retailing at basically the same price from what I recall. From those two, in the same system, heard at ... |
