| Need a DAC Recommendation. I don’t know what the current new sticker price, but look into the Mytek Liberty | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? All digital. Fell for the analog blather and when I stopped to listen without being harangued about the joys of vinyl, sold it off to pay for a nice streamer | |
| CD Ripper Ethernet conundrum I think your question is whether the ripper can access the metadata by WiFi or is a wired connection necessary. Bluesound works either way. What the OP did was enhance his or her WiFi. I use Melco, which needs a wired connection. As for the oth... | |
| Is usb reclocking necessary? I had a DAC over 10 years ago that did not have a synchronous usb input. The DAC was great with S/PDIF, but with usb the soundstage completely collapsed. On Orchestral recordings it sounded as if the bass drum and the tuba were side by side with... | |
| Sound bar versus surround system Agree with fiesta. You want sucky sound for your bedroom, like perhaps there may be other entertainment options for that area , get a sound bar. Serious HT? Do at least a 3.1, 5.1 would be better | |
| Marantz CD6006 + DAC vs Arcam CDS50 for best redbook cd sonics? You can also use the Oppo as a transport. I use a 105 as a transport into a Bryston 3 DAC. I play the DSD layer of SACD over HDMI into the Bryston HDMI.As for the rest of your question, which is what DAC to pair with the transport, there are ma... | |
| upgrade my sound!! I see the logic. 4 subs, one for each corner of the room. Right now, that might be a bridge to far for me. I’ll start with 2 and see how it goes. Do you recommend all subs be of the same manufacturer? | |
| Streamer question Cleeds I used Rigelian with the Bryston BDP-3. It definitely was an improvement over Manic Moose, but ultimately there were many days Bryston just wouldn’t play nice, and just tired of it all. There were may times, usually Sunday afternoon, wh... | |
| upgrade my sound!! Yeah I’ve been intrigued enough about the 2 sub discussion to try it. When I first got into the hobby about 20 years ago the conventional wisdom was that was unnecessary but it seems like everyone is recommending it now. I won’t do it in two cha... | |
| upgrade my sound!! I personally have never used more than 1 sub. I like your speakers and have owned an earlier iteration of them. What is the goal to be achieved with the second sub? Better bass for music or louder booms for action movies? | |
| Streamer question I had the Bryston BDP3. Sounds great but buggy, very difficult to operate. Sold it to pay for my Melco | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player Budget?Dont overlook Bryston. I have the DAC, and I love it. Very open, natural, no glare. I have heard the Hegel once at Axpona and that was my general impression as well. I don’t care for the Marantz house sound and their customer service is... | |
| Vinyl guy seeking recommendation for a top level cd player Try Bryston or Hegel | |
| Separate Amp for AV receiver OP, you have a nice 2 channel system, but you can’t compare your mid Fi HT components to premium priced 2 channel equipment and make a valid comparison. It’s like expecting the same performance from a Hyundai Sonata and an upscale Mercedes Benz. ... | |
| Streamer question No experience here with either. Do they include DACs, or are you pretty set in that department? I love my Melco N 100, which is a great streamer and NAS with a 2 TB HD. No DAC included and you need to supply a CD ripper if you are going to conv... |
