| on the cheap @mahler123 unfortunately no. Maybe some one has heard of a model with storage in a "budget-ish" range but I can't think of any. Internal storage is normally found on some of the more or most expensive units. The next best thing I guess would be t... | |
| on the cheap Can't believe how many here gave the OP a hard time about the Ethernet/WiFi connection. I know y'all know what he meant..no physical connection, WiFi. He's looking for the cheapest streaming option for his sister that is obviously no "audiophile",... | |
| Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!! I just tried the IFI ILAN on my streamer. Nice improvement for cheep cheap 🐦 Even better improvement on the back of my Ethernet wired TV. Hooked up one of my vacant LPS to my Firestick..not so sure if that did anything. | |
| Ways to make your digital streaming sound better When I said you will perceive little differences depending on where you put it (B4 router, after router, switch, or device) I meant little differences between each of those. The overall effect of putting it in the spot that worked best for me I do... | |
| Ways to make your digital streaming sound better Yeah the IFI ILAN..I've known of this product for years but never thought much of it, it's $80. I purchased one a couple days ago and gave it a shot. Tried it on my streamer and then on my TV. Worked well in both situations for me. Various ways an... | |
| Looking for 200 watt Amp to drive Dynaudio Heritage speakers Hypex Nilai 500. Low weight product getting great reviews by many but you also see mention of others that weren't feeling it. Alpha Audio has some video reviews with lots of music clips. Comparing the Nilai to other class D but also their Referenc... | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? A lot of good advice here. My input would be to go very slow with your upgrade process. If you are or want to be serious about your HiFi and get the most for the least amount of money you should start with your room and isolation/decoupling of you... | |
| Can I use 2 different streamers in different systems through Qobuz? @kingbr yes, I was going to bring up the lack of USB on the Prisma but since you had mentioned the Cambridge I thought it might not be important to you. Definitely a deal breaker for most people. I personally haven't heard it but would assume the ... | |
| Can I use 2 different streamers in different systems through Qobuz? As others have said, yes you can. I've done this when trying to compare streamers side by side. I've had the MXN10..well I actually still have it but not using it currently. The software on it is very good, I used it hardwired Ethernet. It's a ver... | |
| Good measuring DACs vs. Because it's all subjective. I'm sure that as many people that love the Mola Mola & Benchmark there are equal amount of people (or more) that don't care for it. Doesn't make either person right or wrong. You could almost drop it into 2 diffe... | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade @dz13 that is some great feedback and fruit for thought. I do think the OP's feelings about which brands to upgrade to are good thinking. After doing a little research and listening to a couple I feel an Innous will be my next step up. I've only... | |
| Schiit Freya Modes: Subjective vs Objective Differences @nixanthrope thanks for the heads up and link to some real user issues. Information sharing like this are what Forums should be all about. I'm glad I reached out and you were kind enough to spare a little time and share with me. Happy New Year!! | |
| Schiit Freya Modes: Subjective vs Objective Differences Thank you @nixanthrope , I truly appreciate the response and opinions you've shared. I have an opportunity to get my hands on the Noval for a used price..and for the money & features it will be hard to pass up. Seems like it would be an easy ... | |
| Schiit Freya Modes: Subjective vs Objective Differences @nixanthrope did you ever present Schitt with your findings and get a response? My apologies for dredging up an old thread but I have been interested in the Noval preamp due to the cheap price more than anything but the balanced connections are ... | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality I assume you are using the internal dac of the streamer? In that aspect you may notice more of a difference than say comparing the 2 as a transport only. I've had quite the handful of these budget streamers, the CNX2 being one of them but only th... |
