| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @serblinfan But a friend of mine has a system based on vintage Tannoys, he tried hard to upgrade his system with upmarket cables - all in vain, so perhaps it is system dependent.... Hmm, I happen to know a fellow here @lalitk with Tannoys wh... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords As it turns out the OP and I live nearby, relatively speaking. I am going over to visit his nice hi fi room this weekend with some of my equipment. We will swap around some gear and some cables and see what our ears tell us. Stay tuned. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @dwcda Ha, it takes no courage to anonymously discuss an experience with strangers. Audphile1 began a little rough but came around and offered some helpful info in the end. I appreciate comments from all, those who agree with me and those who d... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @dwcda The front edge of the speaker is 4' from the wall. I've tried other positions and this was the best for me. There is a 7" monster bass trap behind each speaker and a 17" square soffit trap in the corner. The soundstage is great. When y... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers ^ 👍 | |
| Sound Quality @lalitk You are most welcome. 😊 Glad you are enjoying that unique recording. 🎸🎶 | |
| Sound Quality @navyachts Any good recommendations for a DSD 256 CD to purchase for a test drive, maybe something a little more obscure that the run of the mill "Top 40"? Little Weevil Yes, the above recording is definitely not top 40 😁 One guy, one gui... | |
| Sound Quality @navyachts Native DSD 20% off until May 17 😃 | |
| Sound Quality @navyachts I’ll let @audphile1 answer the question as to whether DSD sounds better on the Bricasti or not, but looking at the specs these are your options: Digital Inputs XLR: AES/EBU 24 bit Single Wire, BNC: SPDIF, RCA: SPDIF, Optica... | |
| Sound Quality there really isn't the need to rip CDs, I guess. That is unless you have something rare that can't be found online. Any other benefits you can muster? @navyachts that is pretty much my philosophy. The onboard hardrive is not just for ripped CD... | |
| Back to the DAC Honestly though, I didn't ever think I would be springing for a DAC that cost more than my amp & pre-amp combined. I will always remember what my Linn dealer said 20+ years ago: $5000 sources with $500 amplifiers always sounded better than... | |
| Back to the DAC this DAC has sucked me dry Wow, that must be quite the DAC. | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k @axeis1 there is something else you could investigate and do before changing out your DAC also, If you weren't aware of this already: PGGB I have posts by some with Dave who love it, which is the DAC this software was written for; I'm sure it woul... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming Forgot to mention another thing to try would be to get a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh system.... I need to try this. I have read this a few times over the past while. About a year ago I removed the router from my hi fi room to eliminate unnecessary... | |
| 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... |
