| Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!! For fun I like to go to parking lots at shopping malls, and walk up to everyone driving a $60K SUV and tell them "stop wasting your money, you could drive a 20K SUV instead- it's the same thing" and hand them a book on the internal combustion engi... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss I honestly have done zero reading about I2S. My version of K50 only has I2S out via hdmi, not ethernet. The CEO of Antipodes Mark Jenkins states the AES is the best output. He did not specify DAC exceptions. Only recently they have upgraded the US... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Well, my server search is over. I now have an Antipodes K50 fronting the Weiss 501. Is it better? Absolutely. @verdantaudio had stated it was "a step up" from the internal renderer. I honestly don’t know how much is due to the renderer of the K50 ... | |
| Is My McIntosh C52 Pre-amp The Weak Link? Get a proper DAC, but maybe one with a good digital volume control you could get rid of your pre as well. Once I got my first DAC with a built-in volume control (exasound) I sold my Mcintosh c-38, as the DAC was more neutral. It took a while to g... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @ghasley thanks for the excellent and knowledgeable response. I didn't think you just had a generic ethernet cable only. 😉 I am doing very well, with my new streamer, but I'm not saying what it is yet ha ha. Hope you are well yourself, and it soun... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @ghasley very nice. Yes, I can't see how someone would be disappointed with an MU1. Are you now simply going ethernet cable direct from router? or switch? Audiophile ethernet cable? | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @zpatenaude37 I don't know why this is still for sale: absolute bargain k50 | |
| Puritan PSM156 @questforhifi you have tried a Puritan PSM156 in your system? And you found it restricted dynamics? | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @phishhhhh4 thanks for the response. It was actually the nucleus vs. pulsar sound comparison I was inquiring about, not so much about the whole Roon customer service experience. But now that vented a bit I hope you feel better 😉 I assume you pref... | |
| Aurender Music Server and CD Transport comparison I was thinking about throwing him a pear, but decided against it. What is a better outcome- a dozen suggestions but not completely direct answers, or no answer? | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @phishhhhh4 I don't have to pay Roon any $$$, anymore. What did you use before the Pulsar? can you share some comparisons? | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice 👍 I briefly checked out a Melco N1ZH/2 review, and the reviewer’s opinion was the ethernet out "player" was the best connector, and I believe with the N200 it is USB? I suppose for an apples to apples comparison those are what must be connected f... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice OP @zpatenaude37 mentioned he currently uses Roon. I love Roon. And that is why I didn't get Aurender. I have been playing around with squeeze and yes it sounds a wee bit better than Roon, but it is not nice to deal with- frustrating compared to ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I advocate keeping an open mind. But those that state beliefs contrary to science and engineering are the ones that need to back up their assertions with evidence. I disagree, you seem quite closed minded. And excuse me but none of us "need" to... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @zpatenaude37 @audphile1 can buy this and then he will sell you his N200. Win win. 😁 |
