| Convert USB to SPDIF a further update...I have an Audioengine Bluetooth DAC in the basement system and discovered that it has a usb input, so I run the usb 2 from the MacAir to the Audioengine. I hardly stream in the basement and frankly mile files streamed from my p... | |
| Opening Record Store Totally not my field but I am with the others that are puzzled what you are getting for 10K. If you were allowed to keep the business name and the web domain, that would possibly justify it, based on the volume of sales, but if not... Your frie... | |
| Tubes make a digital service sing. From the thread title I thought this was going to be about a Zoom Church Service. | |
| Listening to full LPs vs virtually endless digital tracks. I listen to Classical and so usually it’s the whole album. I have no desire to hear, say for example, the second movement of Schubert Unfinished followed by the finale of Mozart Rondo Alla Turk Piano Sonata, even though there are Classical Radi... | |
| Connecting a DAC directly to an amp? Emerging SoulI believe it was you that stated on another thread that you don’t like music very much. If I am mistaken, forgive me. However , if you’re primary interest is video, or podcasts, do you really want to be spending major dollars on two... | |
| Happy Thanksgiving to All I echo the others, and while I am missing the usual hub up that we have today with a home packed with visitors for the weekend, I am just glad that the wife, who is a Nurse, and myself (Primary Care Physician) are so far healthy. I wish that that... | |
| Need really simple advice. How do I use the DAC side of my ARC Ref CD-9SE to stream music? I did the Tidal free trial, it sounded nice, I experimented a bit with MQA, using the DAC on my Node2 as my regular DAC didn’t do MQA. However, I listen primarily to Classical, and at the time of my trial, Tidal had poor offerings. I waited for ... | |
| Need really simple advice. How do I use the DAC side of my ARC Ref CD-9SE to stream music? OPAs above, any bog standard USB 2 cable should work. You won't injure your ARC. Whether or not getting a pricier USB cable has any value is a subject that gets debated around here. Being an audiophile, I eventually shelled out for a Pangea c... | |
| Need really simple advice. How do I use the DAC side of my ARC Ref CD-9SE to stream music? Does your PC output usb 2.0? If so, use that , I believe you said the ARC had an input. If not, you may need a converter.windows computers frequently require a driver be downloaded to work with many DACs (your ARC is basically a DAC that spins C... | |
| Where are the cheap home streamers? To get back to the original question, why are there not a plethora of cheap streaming devices such as the Google Chromecast, my first query would be why did Google stop supporting Chromecast? I Googled this recently—no pun intended—and didn’t fin... | |
| Need really simple advice. How do I use the DAC side of my ARC Ref CD-9SE to stream music? Since the ARC handles usb 2.0, if you have a laptop you may want to start experimenting with that (my new MacAir has usb 3.0, but I believe that converters are easily found, and most computers out there probably use 2.0). Computers usually have s... | |
| Dirac use while still keeping my DAC? Been doing what the OP is considering for about 10 days. Works great | |
| MacBook Pro streamer Define a budget | |
| Vinyl vs DSF (DSD) files - Can you hear the differences Easy to tell the difference. One sounds like a bowl of Rice Crispies | |
| A blessing? Or a curse? Millermy answer was totally serious. I doubt that there was any significant difference in the sounds that your system was emitting on two different occasions. What differed was your reaction to what you were hearing, which can be influenced by m... |
