| Streamer only Nothing to loose starting out using a device you already have. You can compare that to your sound otherwise via say phono and decide from there. I use all WiFi connections personally. Different steaming apps on the same device alone can make a big... | |
| Streamer only If you have the DAC already and have a home computer, tablet or smart phone, give that a shot. It’s a no cost no brainer to try and compare especially if you start with a trial subscription to a high res streaming service. | |
| can you help me narrow my speaker cables short list please? You can find that on Amazon. No audiophile blessings, bragging rights or name brands for the most part though. Just nice quality wires for < $100. | |
| My experience with The Music Room Sweet. Enjoy! Wondering how far they were shipped? Thanks. | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. DCS is one that seemed ahead of the pack a number of years back. Many great sounding DACs at all price points these days. I bought a dongle for $80 that is amazing. | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line Well that nice steamer should be able to get the max out of Spotify and Internet Radio. There are sone Cd res and higher internet radio sources out there worth trying. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers mapman, Trust me here... it’s being done and I am under no obligation to share how any of it’s done beyond what I’ve said already. That’s OK. I’ll take it for what’s it worth. I can see where a 2 ohm speaker could easily sound like a 8 ohm spea... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I would be interested in the answer to the question about supposedly claimed "same" sound when built with different impedance characteristics by design. No clue how that can be. I would think the amp used alone would be a big factor in resulting s... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Nothing more dangerous than polarized audiophiles. ‼️ | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line Yup me too. No Roon, no deal. | |
| Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line I wouldn’t do it. Hope that helps. Hifi Rose I might consider….. | |
| Where was the best reproduced sound you ever heard? Mbl 111e at United Home Audio in Annapolis Junction MD. Still in a class all its own. Same setup at hifi shows: meh. | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume kEF r11 meta just got a glowing review on Audio Science Review site, which is not easy to do. I’ve heard those and agree with the assessment. You can’t go wrong with most any current KEF model. This company really has its act together these day... | |
| The Music Room TMR is a very safe and reliable company to deal with. Much easier and less risky than buying or selling direct with end users. Transacting with a local user usually helps make things easier and more cost effective, but TMR is a good go to in cases... | |
| Moved from Logitech Squeezebox to Cambridge CXN V2 w/NAS - sound not as good Nothing to lose trying the built in Cambridge DAC just to see/hear. Cost does not always determine what sounds best. I used to run Squeeze system then Plex with older DAC then acquired Cambridge Evo 150. The built in DAC is pretty good. That’s wh... |
