| 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... | |
| Weiss 501 4 channel upgrade No worries, I am in Canada so if I did the upgrade I wouldn't be sending it there, but just curious on the ballpark amount. I have read a larger soundstage is an additional benefit of going to the 9038 chips. I would just do it for the sound qua... | |
| Roon vs OS and Native Players - Impact on SQ? @toro3 B. As a Roon user, how much of a bottleneck are we talking about in terms of diminished SQ when comparing Roon to Aurender, Lumin, and Innuos native players? How about Antipodes? | |
| Weiss 501 4 channel upgrade How much was it? | |
| Qobuz vs. Tidal I've tried to get help from Qoboz and can't get a response. Many users of Qobuz have indicated their CS leaves a lot to be desired. Qobuz needs no customer service. Given the choice between Qobuz charging all customers another $2 a month t... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects Nick at TMR Audio encouraged me to check out Audience cables Audio Bacon had a nice writeup of their AU24 SX power cord, and it makes me want to try one, but that's starting to get into stupid money territory IMO- I don't know why their power c... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper vs. Cardas Clear interconnects @dbt good info -thanks for sharing. So many times a poster has a question like this, they say they are going to try this vs. that, and then the thread ends and a reader has no idea what ever happened! I am not trying to insult your audiophile kn... |
