| Help w/D+ stream audio to speakers What happens when you use your TV as a source with other content? For example, if you get over the air channels, can the sound be outputted through the AVR? | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings I have the Klemperer set of 4-9 on Warner. Are those the recordings that were on UK Columbia that @edgewear refers to? They are also available on Qobuz. They are pretty impressive sonically and generally respect the architecture. My only compl... | |
| Amazon music HD ( Hi-res) Uber, I would take issue with you that there is a huge potential market for High Rez, although I hope that you are right and I am wrong. I think that most people just don’t care. I know many serious Classical Music lovers, with huge collections,... | |
| Best way to stream FLAC files. DAC stands for Digital Audio Converter. It converts all of the ones and zeroes in a digital stream into sound. Without a DAC all you would hear is a bunch of clacking, but no music. It doesn’t matter whether the digital stream is an un compress... | |
| Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is economy os scale. A boutique company that might sell 100 units can’t make as much money as a larger company that buys parts in bulk and sells more units. I’d rather save some money and get better quality f... | |
| HDMI Extender over Ethernet recommendations HDMI cables are tricky bastards. I once did a long run and it was an effing nightmare.I have a drop ceiling in my basement and it’s perfect for hiding the Ethernet, speaker, and whatever wires for the basement system and the living room system r... | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? I had ordered Fisher/Budapest M1 and I have to concur with the naysayers here. It’s nicely played but in a ridiculously crowded field it doesn’t offer much that is new. | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings I agree that the constant comparisons between Bruckner and Mahler are a disservice to both Composers. I have always thought, however, that these are the two Composers that benefited most from the advent of the long playing (lp) record. I perso... | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings The Ninth was my “gateway “ into Bruckner. The first Bruckner I encountered was the Fourth, when I was in College about 4 decades ago. It was entertaining but one can only take so much medieval knights jousting background music. I heard the Sev... | |
| i'm looking for something that may not exist By the way, you want a player that will play lossless files, not mp3. I think some of the ire you are attracting is due to the fact that perhaps you are unaware that mp3 is compressed, lossy sound, and you are asking for a system that will turn c... | |
| i'm looking for something that may not exist I’m not a vinyl guy. I also don’t do much in the way of portable listening but I have been out of town, visiting the wife’s clan, using a Bluetooth headphone and a planar magnetic headphone that is tethered to my digital player, and I am in a ref... | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings My favorite Furtwangler Bruckner is a VPO Eighth recorded in an empty Hall in 1944. My copy is from a private label created for the fund raising telethons of WFMT in Chicago but it is available on many labels. It was made the day before a concer... | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings @brownsfan For many years the Jochum/Dresden set was my only Bruckner. In the seventies when I started collecting it was the only affordable Bruckner. Karajan on DG and Haitink on Phillips would release individual symphonies in huge boxes that... | |
| Room Nucleus+ vs what for dCS I imagine there wouldn’t be any sonic difference. I can’t distinguish any difference in my files running ethernet from my NAS to my Bryston BDP3 streamer vs playing the same files from a usb drive in the Bryston, and my NAS sits 100 feet away | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? I am listening to the Blomstedt Ninth on Qobuz now so it must be available?Just finished III; so far it’s excellent |
