| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Using Roon that would be really easy to do, as the user interface in the K50 allows one to switch server and player duties- all he would have to do is press a button on the web interface to swap the Roon core from K50 to the NUC back and forth wit... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? @jji666 You have done your homework, I commend you on your perseverance. It's obvious you know more about computers than I do, and I think you are a better arguer. But I don't think people buy Porsche's just because they look nice and they want to... | |
| New streamer I would think it is hard to determine when it is flat, if it ever is, as testing us to see where that might occur damages the test subjects ears, as it is north of 120db. Point is the louder the music the flatter the curve, and the more perception... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? 😉 | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I think you just nullified your own argument? I’m not saying that to get into a fight - but you say it is the same piece of candy either way. Yes it is the same, identical, exactly the same, not different, not dirtier, piece of candy. Okay well... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? @jji666 That isn't to say that fancy servers don't have their advantages in terms of other functions and features, support, being well built, and looking cool. But over a network, the packets don't know if they are coming from a supercomputer ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? . I have a fairly powerful machine currently running at 60x, @jji666 and that is why it won't sound as good as dedicated music servers. | |
| New streamer When you do your dedicated lines, invest in quality outlets. Don’t plug it all into a $3 Home Depot outlet. They suck. 👍 Even if you are not a believer of audiophile outlets for improved sound quality, another excellent reason to invest in Fu... | |
| New streamer The audiologist tests your hearing at about 20 different frequencies and adjusts your hearing aids accordingly. The universal setting maximizes the sound of a human voice. However, 3 of the brands have a recorded music setting which flattens you... | |
| New streamer doesn’t smack you in the face, like say going from a $600 phono cartridge to a $3,500 phono cartridge Just curious, do all the ASR flat-earthers get all defensive about this comment and want you to prove it like they do with cables and digital... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? @mapman he is talking about servers not streamers. If one box, such as the Antipodes DX2, can be both a streamer and the server why is it wrong to call it a streamer? | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? @audphile1 I have tried the FMC several times on several streamers. I call BS. Because all it did is made it sound much worse than the simple router to streamer connection with a very good cable. There must be something beneficial to it o... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Benjamin at Mojo is big on the small details. That is what it is- breaking down every single part of the process and determining the best approach for each one. Dozens of small details add up a significant change. The power supply is the bigge... | |
| New streamer @audphile1 I did read that, for some they even claimed 600+ hours, but mine seems to have plateaued over the last 2 days. I am sure the treble will smooth out and extend, but I didn't notice any "weirdness" after 200 hrs. I assume when people quot... | |
| New streamer @audphile1 as to break in, don’t worry about it, just enjoy the music. If you don’t hear any changes during the 200hr time period that’s fine. I’m feeling a little nauseous from my break in ride with this GTX NCF plug 🤢- just passed 230 hour ... |
