| Next step up on the streaming food chain? Only your ears will let you know if the additional funds necessary to enjoy the higher priced streamers and DAC's is worth it. Add Antipodes and Innuos to your streamer/player list. If you want to tackle the streamer/player and the DAC in one shot... | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano Becoming very underwhelmed with the Shunyata USB cable. For the money spent I would have expected at least some improvement. Hopefully your dealer offered a trial period like your player. In Shunyata’s defense, this was a Gamma, whi... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs @kinarow1 Cannot afford the best each manufacturer has to offer. Looking to spend up to $2,000 for 3m speaker cables and up to $700 each for RCA and XLR cables. Again, I hope to buy used. ....i will do more listening today, but I must admit ... | |
| Check This Out! I'm looking at pictures of what is labeled a DAC, and I'm thinking, is this a joke? | |

I am surprised by this because neither device has any moving parts that I know of. Why does this vibration occur? Is it inherent vibration of the electrical pa... | |

| Nordost QKORE But how does this "passive approach to obtaining an artificial, “clean” earth for hifi audio systems" compare with Puritan's ground master, where one does actually connect the ground of the power conditioner to a ground rod on the outside of ones ... | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison Here's a good Audiogon thread read from 2017: Recording engineers - cable? | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison But go ahead and flame me. After 50+ years and 10,000 + gigs, I'm sure most of you know more about what things actually sound like than me. By the way, my albums are really well recorded. And I am sure you know more about what things actual... | |
| Solo streamer @lalitk I have done with a few of them, such as Patricia Barber's A Fortnight in France as I believe we have discussed previously, some Japanese pressings, and some Linn hybrid layer's that aren't available on Qobuz, but for the albums that are on... | |
| Solo streamer @oddiofyl I like owning the physical media. I hear ya. I have about 500 cd's and no player. Don't think I ever will spin them again but I still keep them for sentimental reasons. They also offer diffusion in my room. | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano I also like to play SACDs. I have a converter (DBOB) that brings out the best in them. Sounds maybe even better than the N200. Just to clarify your statement: I also like to play SACDs. I have a converter (DBOB) that brings out the ... |
