| Bluesound Node 2I Power Supply Update @upshift - It seems like both the PD Creative and LHY are solid options. I'll probably wait unit I sell my old DAC before making a purchase. | |
| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? @jasonbourne52 - Have you ever sat side by side with an audiophile that claimed to hear differences in power cords? I'd be curious to have you paired up with someone for some blind testing that started at the macro end of the audiophile scale whe... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? @ghdprentice - I don't drink, but am fascinated with the concept that there are wines that people think smell like cat urine and still drink it. If I needed to give a gift to a wine drinker... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? As others have mentioned, the wine industry isn't without it's conspiracy theories. I'm fairly certain that professional "tasters" and "smellers" can be tested to on some level (i.e. at what concentration can they identify a known taste or smell)... | |
| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? @thyname - I was going to say that proper cables must be measured in meters and not feet :-) @audphile1 - You bring up a very important point for consideration. Assuming that all other things being equal a longer power cord is better, then at w... | |
| USB DAC for Pro Audio PC Application In case anyone ever reads this in the future, the new DAC seemed to make a nice improvement for last weeks service. I was grateful that we had it hooked up as we had the uncommon opportunity to play songs from seven different CDs. I'm sure some ... | |
| Whole reference system was stolen, need budget friendly integrated. Help Please! My question for the OP is if the current request for advice is intended for a temporary solution until thing’s hopefully get sorted with the insurance company or if you’re now on a different path entirely. I have no experience with your gear (or... | |
| Morrow Audio 1m MA4 Balanced Interconnect I finally took my Morrow Audio MA4 balanced interconnects on a field trip to my friends house. He has Martin Logan speakers with a Krell stereo power amplifier fed by a Topping DAC. It was a very quick listening session, but we started with a fe... | |
| USB DAC for Pro Audio PC Application I was able to do an initial setup of the ART USB DI USB to Transformer Balanced XLR Analog Converter today and it seems like a clear improvement for the system. We didn’t have the right cables, so couldn’t leave it setup, but will get it sorted ne... | |
| Power cord length I won’t weigh in on the potential differences between a short and long power cables. I can’t, however, resist commenting on having two different lengths of power cables causing a timing issue. That’s the type of statement that would cause me to q... | |
| USB DAC for Pro Audio PC Application I ended up going with this: ART USB DI USB to Transformer Balanced XLR Analog Converter https://a.co/d/6GqQH6m It’s a DAC that will also send a balanced signal to the board. | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? "It was a sound from a system I have never heard." To be clear, you are familiar with this system otherwise and the turntable has taken the SQ to a place you have never heard before? | |
| Analyzing DACs @tee_dee - I think most people form their opinions primarily based on the reviews of other users. | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? I've never thought more or less about other audiophiles based on the cost of their systems. One thing that is unique to audiophiles and their equipment is that I'd bet the majority of audiophile systems are bought and paid for and do not represen... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? The retail price of my system (Conditioner + Streamer + DAC + Integrated Amplifier + Speakers) would be about $8,500. Current cabling is an additional $850. I think the only value in knowing how much others have invested in their systems is to b... |
