| Surreal Speakers: Made to order in Virginia, USA Rushton,Thanks for bringing these speakers to my attention. In full disclosure, I am thinking about venturing into DIY speakers and a different approach like this one is surely intriguing.The AER driver apparently is working all the way from 130 H... | |
| Which DAC My recollection of reading about the Sonos is that it outputs significant jitter through coax. I would double check if this is so. Maybe search here and look for posts by Audioengr, who is Steve Nugent from Empirical Audio. I think he said this a ... | |
| Where/How can I further improve PC audio quality? I think Mesch has given you very good advice. In digital playback the clock is of paramount importance to reduce jitter. A computer is an electrically noisy environment and generally a bad one for a precision clock. A USB-to-S/PDIF converter with ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Bombaywalla,You are right, we did have a lengthy discussion with Roy on the topic, and he did say that about processors...including DEQX. But my take was his answer was based on speculation on his part as to how these devices work. He didn't come ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Unsound,You are right: certain software packages can do that. I'm not sure Dirac can, though. I believe it is focused on digital room correction only.Acourate (another software package) can do digital room correction, and digital crossovers and al... | |

| Best music server for the money I didn't. It just flowed through the regular installation process. I did have another drive, a 1 TB HDD, for music also connected...but I doubt it had anything to do with it not quitting on me.I installed from a USB pen drive, if that makes any di... | |
| Best music server for the money It doesn't need that space. In fact, most of my SSD is unused. I would have purchased a smaller one should they had been available. | |
| Any comparison Bel Canto U-Link and Aidiophilo 2 Glad the feedback helped. | |
| B&W 803d vs 804d2 Also depends on what electronics you have or plan to have. I drive 804S with 75Wpc tube amp and love it, but the 803D needs a lot more power to get the best out of it. At the time I tried a McIntosh MC252, 250Wpc SS, and my MC275 and preferred the... | |
