| What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT? I wonder if the question of the asymptote applies more to to HT than to 2 channel listening. I ‘m sure that a mega bucks processor et al will sound better for video than a Mid Fi AVR, but would the expensive gear be sonic overkill for videos?. E... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I don’t know how to evaluate the environmental impact of the competing technologies. Yes, physical media has to be disposed of in some fashion, and may end up in a landfill. However if someone listens to their physical media repeatedly having amas... | |
| Are your records a health concern? My LPs were definitely a Health Concern. I would get so frustrated with pops, clicks and sizzles that drove my blood pressure up | |
| Updating my streamer OP never specified a budget. The streamers that he mentioned seem to be at least $4K. For about 1K the Cambridge Audio Units are great. The just changed DACs to ESS. Great support for streaming services and pod casting and Internet Radio. App... | |
| Need help with Eversolo A8 What streaming service are you using? If more than one is it happening with all of them? | |
| For SACD fans only DSD 64. In my last post, the manufacturer’Magnetar’ was apparently autocorrected to ‘Magnets’. | |
| Bryston Service A-1 @cleeds yikes, the Aurender must have been really bad… | |
| Bryston Service A-1 @jbuhl would you be using Manic Moose or does Roon totally bypass that for you? | |
| Bryston Service A-1 I had the BDP-3. It needed so much support that I added Chris Rice, who apparently was the only Bryston employee who knew anything about streaming, to my Christmas card list. He was responsive to the numerous requests to fix the snafus but occas... | |
| For SACD fans only I listen to SACD with my Oppo 105 outputting the DSD layer over HDMI into the HDMI input of my Bryston DAC. The Oppo program menu makes you decide which layer of the disc that you wish to output. Magnets Universal Players are made by the same ... | |
| Classical Vinyl - Telefunken label - can anyone educate me here? I’ve got some good CDs that were issued by Teldec but they just weren’t as much fun as buying the LPs with the German notes, etc | |
| Is Apple Music lossless/uncompressed? @lalitk I actually missed that last sentence in the OP. That is an interesting way to do it and he might get a decent result. AirPort Express I think used to top out at CD quality. AirPlay isn’t that bad, pretty close to a standard redboo... | |
| NAD Near Future HT Products? I can’t help you with any insight into NAD schedule. Playing Devils Advocate do you expect a major breakthrough in amplification technology from any company making AVRs or Processors? The major development switching to Class D a decade or so ago ... | |
| Classical Vinyl - Telefunken label - can anyone educate me here? Telefunken was one of those exotic sounding (to my ears) labels when I started buying records in the mid seventies. German only notes, artists that were generally unknown in the states, high import prices. Later I learned that their history stre... | |
| Is Apple Music lossless/uncompressed? I listen to Classical so it’s hard for me to comment on the depth of catalog but I believe that they carry as many tracks as any of the other top claimed services. They are indeed lossless but it depends on the playback device. With the possib... |
