| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? It's been quite painful reading your almost daily musings, but like a blind squirrel, I guess you'll eventually find a nut. There are many things that are non-negotiable if you want the best SQ and those things include: Use SR Purple fuses or be... | |
| (SEARCH) DAC HOLO SPRING 3 I expect you know that the Spring was discontinued about a year ago. The Musetec 005 is on par with the May and a single box solution. New at $3.2k or used at around $1700.00 USD | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC @audphile1 I have never compared the Dragon directly against the Hurricane but I was totally blown away when I was given a Dragon HC to audition for my power amp. Usually power cables offer subtle nuances of this and that but the Dragon is a comp... | |
| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC @audphile1 When you crunch the Dragon numbers a 1m length is a relative bargain. AQ prices Dragon at 1m X price, 1.5m X 1.5 price, 2m X 2 price. AQ is the only company I know that does this and to me shows that the cable is actually worth somethi... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g I have SR Purple fuses in almost all my gear and they are definitely the best bang for the buck. I am surprised that the Audiomagic M1 only offered a slight improvement, I was planning on trying one. I have a Powerhouse Zero 2 fuse in ... | |
| 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... |
