| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? @tonywinga Thx, I totally get your point. Here’s mine: Avg DAC + Avg. Server = Average Sound Good DAC + Avg. Server = Good Sound Great DAC + Avg. Server = Great Sound. The main difference is I can explain why, and I saved alot of $ on a se... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? @tonywinga I think your example misses the point (by a mile or more). My home system is way more resolving than my car system, of course. I always hear more on a more resolving system, of course. The only question here is whether a change in ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I absolutely agree with @jji666 . And there’s a ton of support for his position from a subset of the audiophile community, that includes engineers, designers, Roon Labs itself! There seems to be a bias embedded in the arguments from a differen... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? @mitch2 Then this would be my recommendation: https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/products/sonictransporter-i9-optical-gen-3 | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? http://archimago.blogspot.com/2023/12/do-bit-perfect-digital-sources-affect.html My own experience is that confirmation bias is a huge challenge for all of us. A/B comparisons are really hard, and aural memory sucks. And the potential diff... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Recognizing that this is an unpopular view for some on this forum, I still feel compelled to offer a counterpoint. For years, the official position of Roon was that assuming a basic level of isolation in the streaming chain and sufficient power t... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @audphile1 I was being polite. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @audphile1 good lord! “you are most likely a beginner in this hobby or someone who’s been around for a while but dismissed listening as a critical, viable and valid means of evaluating audio components and cables.” there, the full context, no... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @audphile1 “To learn. Challenge yourself and your perception you have built up over the years by saying it’s all sciences.” Dude, your words. But when somebody challenges you, you accuse him (or her) of being “a beginner to this hobby.” Who ma... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @audphile1 Have you been drinking? Maybe you should take a break. And then respond to the substance of my posts. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @mclinnguy Nope. You were unfair to the op because you unfairly criticized his process for evaluating his system. In this case, I responded to a post about spending alot of $ on cables. I said “maybe a bad idea.”. Very different fact patterns... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @steakster you gotta be kidding me! Find one credible authority for your view. Just one. | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @audphile1 btw, once again you misrepresent my position. Your interconnect example is actually consistent with my post - I specifically said that power cables really matter in the analog realm - DACs, amps, preamps. Do what is your point exact... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference ”It’s none of your business the cables I decide to buy after hearing them bring so much to the table” Wow! Then why post? Why ask us questions as to what we should do? Sorry man, but just cuz I disagree with you doesn’t mean I have less right t... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference oh my land! Please forgive me, but spending alot of money on a power cord for an expensive streamer is nuts, imho, just pissing money away. As I’ve posted on this thread previously, I suspect most people with high quality DACs have already wast... |
