| Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement? @cuprone1 I was looking at the BMI site a few months ago but it seems to have disappeared now. I think the owner must have died about 7-8 years ago. The BMI Oceanic Statement was the top cable with the Rhodium edition being about $500 more. They... | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC @audphile1 go for an AQ Dragon HC PC plugged into your power amp directly into the wall. I know they may seem expensive but a 1m length especially used isn't bad. They truly are exceptional. | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects So if you buy them and then find out they are not actually the WBCs can you sue them for false description of goods? It's a very lofty description for cables that just use OFC. You'll never sell them but at $189 bucks, why did I bother to buy...... | |
| Streamer for local files (DSD and FLAC), Tidal and Qobuz support, USB/i2s Aurender N200 or N20 depending on your budget. No I2s. DAC not included. | |
| Aurender N-200 Compatiblity with DACS. Is this a thing? The compatibility issue, I believe lays in the fact that the Berkeley doesn't have a USB input unless you buy a separate box. Aurender only provides volume control on it's "A" series products which include a DAC and pre-amp. The reason for this ... | |
| Expensive Dac to keep or cheaper and change overtime Once the new ESS 9039 Pro chip DACs start being released by major manufacturers, that's the one to get. | |
| Has anyone heard the PS Direct stream mk2? I'm not a fan of oversampling and upsampling. I understand it upsamples everything to 512 DSD. You may love it. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Go into the Aurender settings - ADVANCED and change the SPDIF output to PROFESSIONAL. Next go to RESET DAC VOLUME CONTROL. TURN YOUR VOLUME CONTROL TO ZERO BEFORE YOU DO THE RESET!!!! Enjoy!!!! | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk +1 The day before yesterday I connected an Atlas Mavros (copper) AES between my N20 and DAC. Just interested to see if I'd been missing something regarding AES. Well started listening yesterday evening and it was sorely lacking compared ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? https://community.octoprint.org/t/put-tape-on-the-5v-pin-why-and-how/13574 I know it talks about printers but disregard that. Put the electrical tape on both ends of the +5v pins. Enjoy! You won't damage anything. If it doesn't work your DAC need... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev The master clock is for later consideration but it's absolutely essential for realising the full performance of the N20. In the meantime why don't you try inputting one of your Dragon PCs into the N20 and disabling the powerline in your AQ ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev You really don't need to spend many thousands on a clock. There are plenty of Chinese ones on Ebay and After Dark from Hong Kong sell decent clocks. However a very high quality clock cable is vital, this will cost $2k+ and should be 75 Ohm ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Congratulations on your N20. Reading between the lines it sounds to me as if the N20 is sounding more unforced and natural. The N20’s signal is un-tampered with, not oversampled or clocked but upsampling is available on SPDIF outputs. Howe... | |
| iFi iPower X - hifi bargain? I plan on getting one because a LPS plus a decent PC and DC cable is expensive, especially when you need a few. Huge complaint however on this product is that it should fit a US power strip at 90 degrees. It's inline design means you can only use... | |
| HD Failing on Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Player, Need help from Owners of Sony Player I am not a computer or software expert and I can't tell you how to do this but I know there is a way to make a mirror copy of your HDD onto a new HDD. Hope you can find someone who can do it. |
