| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? @audphile1 he is talking about servers not streamers. Only two things I can think off that could make servers sound different as alluded to above: 1)noise introduced on the network wires that make it through the streamer to DAC signal path and a... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Is the DAC jitter resistant? | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? BTW, I use Wifi/wireless connections with all my streamers mainly out of convenience but sound quality is top notch I’d say as long as all wifi connections are strong, even with high res files streamed from Qobuz. If streamer wifi connection is we... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Power supply on a server alone could only impact sound quality if it is noisier and that noise leaks into teh network connection and makes its way all the way to a DAC with poor jitter rejection. So it is possible but also avoidable in various way... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? If we are talking about a music server only with no on-board streamer, then teh connection between the external streamer and the server is a basic client/server data connection like any other application on a network. THere is absolutely nothing t... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I will say that if one attempts to account for how modern digital audio technology performs using the same approach and factors as in teh past with older analog only technologies, they are likely missing the boat to a great extent. Pretty much any... | |
| New streamer I'd add the current line of Cambridge Audio streamers to the list. Very solid performers and very good values that do not get much attention in these high end audio parts, which is a mistake. | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Don’t know but it probably has something to do with how the DSP in each is implemented. With digital streaming pretty much anything is possible. | |
| Revel Salon2s: Seeking Advice It’s totally up to you. Personally I am a Revel fan. Some will prefer Focal. Go figure! | |
| Why do we demand so much from our systems? Extra extra read all about it! OCD | |
| All speakers have a little EQ built in Oh no! Please say it ain't so... I guess if they all got it right all speakers would sound the same. Long live EQ! | |
| Thank Heavens For The Internet World Used/ Pre-Owned High End Audio Market!!!! Shop smart and anything is possible even with a very modest budget. | |
| Would you buy a pair of speakers by just looking at the measured freq. response? Yes It’s true that precision microphones used to measure frequency response tell you nothing about how speakers sound. Go figure! | |
| Would you buy a pair of speakers by just looking at the measured freq. response? If measured well that would absolutely influence my buying decision all other things aside because I have been around enough to take that info for what it’s worth but buying any speakers without hearing first is risky business. If you do it buy us... | |
| Best sounding headphones you have owned? I have several Sennheiser Grado Audio Technica and Sony (used to have Stax as well) and EQed they all sound nice but each a little different I needed to replace a pair of ancient Klipsch earbuds that were showing their age. Picked up a pair of T... |
