| T + A streamers. I need help. Because numerous variables are involved with streamers, software, and hardware, I need to take a slow approach to this. You guys have opened my eyes to the various possibilities. Appreciate your time. I get it. I first read about PGGB about 3 y... | |
| T + A streamers. I need help. Hey @mgrif104, Saw one used so decided to snap it up a few weeks back. Always had these memories of how much better some DSD files sounded with my former exaSound DAC compared to "regular" files, so was always curious to try a higher-end dedicat... | |
| T + A streamers. I need help. There are a few guys with T+A reference streaming DAC's here, hopefully they chime in. Try Roon; free 14 day trial. The user interface is as good as it gets, and Roon radio can discover many new bands/tracks you never knew existed, it is wonderf... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Thankfully, like you, neither manufacturer is considering adding the I2S connection and raising the cost of the end products. It is worth mentioning that it was only last year Antipodes developed a USB output they considered worthy of using and s... | |
| Weiss DAC 204 hiccups Interesting to hear some of you are having issues with your digital handshake between some streamers and the Weiss 204. I didn't know it needed to be sent off for firmware updates, I do know I can perform any firmware updates myself with the 501 b... | |
| Streamer recommendation ^ good answer. But if you really wanted something smaller, maybe more WAF, with exceptional build quality as it is swiss made, and are okay abandoning the thought above in having to download and learn a new app, have a look at this: https://ww... | |
| Six DAC Comparison We certainly could add $1,000 to our MSRP and create an internal clock that will rival (I said "rival" not "beat") the ones in a Jay’s CDT-3 MkIII or the dCS network bridge...but why would we do that when those products already have exceptional c... | |
| To refurbish Peter Gunn modded Maggie's or not? @chazzy12 Heart attack I heard. | |
| Finally! I Made An Informed Choice This looks like a good place to research optical connections: https://www.audioshark.org/threads/lumin-x1-fiber-optic-network-discussions.14265/ | |
| Finally! I Made An Informed Choice Congratulations on the Lumin! Would I benefit from placing an SFP-equipped switch downstream of the powerline adapter, and using an optical SFP connection to the Lumin X1? I have read the Lumin’s really benefit using fiber, but do a search, m... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? @ecat026 The Conductor app sounds more transparent and resolving, but Roon sounds fuller with better mids. Swap your word "conductor" with "squeeze" and that is exactly what I hear, using a different streamer and converter, different speaker... | |
| Best Cheap DAC Streamer @charleyprice Did you get the Wiim Ultra? How is it? | |
| Is there a ROON sound? I understand that ROON emerged from the previous SONOS company. Incorrect, it was Sooloos. https://roon.app/en/about-us Roon sounds just wonderful. To answer your question, yes Roon has a sound. But if you have an issue with the way a good ... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? Ignore trolls. | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience Assuming each track is an average length of 4 minutes, and you listened to your hifi for 8 hours every day, it would take over 2 years before a track was repeated. If most of these tracks are classical you could easily double this. I won't indicat... |
