| Ethernet cable for music streaming May want to give an Etheregen switch a try? 30 day money back guarantee. Most have found it "smoothes" out their streaming sound by removing hash which enables you to hear a little better resolution from a blacker background. Not sure if that is t... | |
| Streamer only I guess the OP is AWOL 🤔 @jerrybj Sweet. Post your impressions. In looking at the article posted below decide which output to use to your DAC- which DAC do you have? Regarding this comment: @moonwatcher One thing people seem to ignore (correc... | |
| Back to the DAC @navyachts looking forward to your Gustard/Bricasti comparisons. 🎶 | |
| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? .... including the Cardas ethernet cable which for $300 was not bad but not in the same league as the Shunyata and this is in no way to say anything negative about the Cardas cable. 😉 | |
| Back to the DAC @worldwidewholesales Great post with great advice-and it is commendable you didn’t give any specific manufacturer’s names. There is a good chance I will never in my life listen to 10% of the components you have, I am curious if you could share ... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k I think I’d like to listen to the Mola Mola @axeis1 I don't think you could go wrong here  The world needs a new DAC shoot-out! As many in this thread have alluded to, at this level it is about synergy and particular sonic preferences. ... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k Try the Ideon EOS or the ION you will be shocked I really love this comment from Lavornga in his review of this DAC:  I bet some people are wondering exactly which DAC from ESS is inside the EOS and I’m not saying because it doesn’t matter ... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience There is another forum that starts with audio and ends with style that has an extensive thread on the Grimm. | |
| All in One Solution for Streaming I'll second what @fastfreight is saying- do you really want speakers in the dining room? speaker cables for guests or pets to trip over? Sonos are awesome, just use your phone to control, either using Roon from the main system or just your phone a... | |
| Back to the DAC …the N200 is optimized for USB so select a DAC with solid USB implementation. That is an excellent point that needs to be emphasized. Into my DAC my streamer/player's AES output absolutely trumps the USB output. As @audphile1 states the N200 ... | |
| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why?  They can't make a difference unless they're out of spec. They do. | |
| Cable vs fiber for audio quality If you are just asking if there would be an audible difference between fiber and cable to the house, I think the answer is no. Once they provide fiber to the house into the ONT, will you be using the same RG6 within the house you had before, or w... | |
| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? SoTM dcbl Cat 7 cable, chosen after reading several reviews from owners impressions and pro reviews. The improvement in sound quality over the Audio Sensibility modified Supra cat 8 cable is obvious, but yes in agreement with what you have surmise... | |
| Aurender is finally Roon Ready?! "For casual listening Roon should be awesome." LOL. Not lol. I’ll second that. This is exactly what I have been doing with my streamer. Use Roon for non-critical listening, using its world leading music discovery algorithm, then once a song re... | |
| Aurender is finally Roon Ready?! @tvad I have owned or extensively auditioned Innuos Pulse, Antipodes K50, Rockna WaveDreamNET, Auralic G2.1, and a few other Roon streamers Some of those were Roon Core devices (Antipodes and Rockna…I can’t recall if the Pulse is a Roon Core),... |
