| Amplification of classical soloists in concert performances ? I’ve seen it with Classical Guitar/Lute. Not elsewhere | |
| The end of physical media is neigh I’ve been trying to decide about buying a Magnetar UDP 900 and therefore Googling reviews, etc. The LG article cited by Eric popped into my Google feed yesterday and I just thought that I was being fed the usual algorithm feed, but surprised to s... | |
| Anyone take Tepezza? I’m a recently retired Primary Care Physician. I don’t have experience with the drug. I can say that if it really caused a significant-like one in 5000 chance- of causing permanent hearing loss it wouldn’t have been released. You have to real... | |
| Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer? OP you don’t really need a streamer. As I mentioned up thread streamers are just networking computers that are optimized for playing audio files. They also look like audio components and not like PCs. They tend to dispese with the OS that P... | |
| Streamer and DDC (I need AES/SpDif output) I loved FireWire and regret that it didn’t catch on. I almost bought your Weiss but instead bought a pro DAC for about 1/3 the price. It’s on a shelf in the basement as the lack of FireWire sources rendered it obsolete. | |
| Streamer question I use Cambridge Audio CXN 100. Mainly I listen to my own ripped CDs from my NAS. I also use the AirPlay and Chromecast functions to stream from my streaming services (Apple Music and Pristine Classical) but the CA will handle both Tidal and Qobuz ... | |

| Record Cleaning Machine ~ Ultrasonic vs. Rest I would try to find someone locally with an ultrasound machine that will charge to clean records (I have someone here in the west suburbs of Chicago and actually dropped off a batch yesterday). Bring your problem records, have them cleaned, and t... | |
| How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable There are some fairly small streamers out there that will handle DSD. iFi would be the first place I would look at. The OP said he doesn’t want a large box in that system-I get that- and I haven’t heard the greatest feedback about the company - bu... | |
| Music with Titles that get you to think Paul Hindemith, Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber. | |
| How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable You have a DAC that costs at least $15K. Why fool around with an adapter that probably won’t handle DSD files? I would add another computer or streamer to the room that has the Bricasti and play the DSD files into the USB of the DAC. The cost... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? The best streamer I ever had for SQ was the Bryston BDP-3. Unfortunately the software management system was unusable. My current streamers are Melco N100 and CA CXN 100. The difference between them and the BDP3 is very slight. All three sou... | |
