| Pontus ii and Hi Res Subscribe to Qobuz. Problem solved. You'll get up to 196 with your setup and the lights on the Pontus will confirm it. Better SQ than Tidal too. | |
| Pontus ii and Hi Res What is your monthly charge? You might think you're subscribed to hi res but if you not paying for it you won't get it despite what your Tidal menu says. | |
| Conrad Johnson upgrades - Anyone doing? The CJ teflon caps are going to be very expensive assuming they're even available for components that old. If you're talking about still doing more, unless your components have some sort of sentimental value, you're better off buying a newer vers... | |
| CJ 140lm monos vs pass x350.8 The closest you're going to get is probably the CJ Premier 350 if you can find one. The CA 200 will get you pretty close as well but again hard to find.. If you want to stay with Pass you're probably better sticking with the older Class A .5 ser... | |
| AudioQuest Vodka vs Purist Audio Ethernet Cable Wondering the same thing about Cardas Clear Ethernet. Use Cardas high speed usb which is an improvement over other usb cables I've tried, some similarly priced. | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? Have to agree with the above analysis. With improvements in digital, in your case your $$$ are better spent upgrading your digital components. At least that's been my experience. | |
| Review: Denafrips Ares II @ mceljo & pmm Ditto, ditto, ditto ;-) | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? I can only answer your question based on my own personal experience in a similar situation using Cardas. Upgraded from Clear to Clear Beyond from my source to my preamp. Forgetting the $$$ for a moment, very similar to what you are asking, yes ... | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @decooney Coincidentally I used AP Solo Crystal before I got into Cardas. Still have several pairs in my closet. I'll give intermixing a try too and see what happens 🤔 | |
| How crucial is the quality of a digital cable? I believe you've analyzed your problem correctly. Quite sure a better coax cable should help but I don't think a $50 cable will do it. Audioquest makes decent coax cables but you may need something like the Carbon. If you order through someone ... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender Sorry meant to say one component like a streamer. | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender @soix. I use a netgear extender for a pretty good hi rez headphone system. I have for comparison purposes connected my streamer directly to my modem. In doing so I hear no difference in SQ from the 100ft run in a 2 story house using the ex... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender Been using a Netgear extender for years. Never had problems/dropouts. Excellant SQ. Extender runs from Modem at one end of the house, up one floor to the opposite side of the house to my streamer. Supra ethernet both sides. Over 100 ft. distance... | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @decooney Interesting factoid:-) I didn't recall interconnect rev1 was the crimped version. I think I remember the clear speaker wires making that change about that time, but wow that's been quite a while ago. How time flies. | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? Have both orig. and rev 1. Unless you listen side by side you'll never hear the difference and even if you do probably still won't. |
