| 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),... | |
| Streamer only Any thoughts or decisions from the OP? @pal | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits @ronkent how come companies like Nordost do not sue them? I had a similar thread a while back; the whole thing boggles my mind too. A better question is why Chinese websites like this are allowed to be seen in our Continent, and the rest of ... | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits @audphile1 .......bargain compared to a civet pooped coffee that sells for $600 per pound. Which is one other thing I ain’t gonna be buying. It’s all relative. Yeah, save your money, I have tried it and it's not worth it. One of those things ... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @skeptikal From Wikipedia: "many marketers of high-end speaker cables cite electrical properties such as skin effect, characteristic impedance or resonance; properties which are generally little understood by consumers. None of these have any ... | |
| Roon vs OS and Native Players - Impact on SQ? @toro3 Ok, then allow me to add part C: C. As a Roon user, how much of a bottleneck are we talking about in terms of diminished SQ when comparing Roon to Antipodes native players? Let me summarize my recent streamer/player experiences/thoughts a... |
