| Aurelic G2 or Aurender N10 Can we add the Simaudio Mind 2 to the discussion? Anybody with any experience with that unit? Reliability, stability and sound?Thanks,mgrif | |
| Aurelic G2 or Aurender N10 I forgot to mention that one of the significant downsides to the Aurender as a solution is the limitation of their app running on an iPad only (no phone versions). When our adult children visit the place, they would like to be able to run the app... | |
| USB to SPIDIF converter for MAC Schiit Audio Eitr. Great product and value - It’s what I use for the same purpose in one system. Please note it only goes up to 24/192. see: http://www.schiit.com/products/eitr | |
| PC+Dac or Streamer Mahler123 - thanks for the suggestions. As it turns out, running Ethernet to this particular location is problematic so I have been forced to use the WiFi function of the Bluesound. However, I may try to run Ethernet through the floor to the loc... | |
| PC+Dac or Streamer I’m going to answer this a bit differently than others. With respect to SQ, my experience has been that a streamer is a vastly better solution than even a tricked out PC. In reality, a streamer is a computer dedicated to that particular function... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? I happen to own the stellar stack in one of my systems and have to say I’m pretty impressed with its sound quality overall, and very much so on a value basis. It’s quite smooth and very easy to listen to, but not soft or lacking detail. I have a... | |
| Add streamer with quality sound to system for Tidal and portable drive I think the general answer to your question is yes, adding a streamer for Tidal will likely be a satisfying upgrade over your current setup. It was for me. I was using an iMac, and then an optimized Mac mini as my digital front end in a couple o... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE Interesting - I’ll have to look into that as I hadn’t heard that SF was doing poorly. I’m in the Midwest with no dealers for >100+ miles. But, the dealers in Milwaukee and Chicago seem to be doing ok. A dealer in AZ has so much volume, it’s ... | |
| KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4? Hardly drinking any cool aid. Just appreciating reasonable discussion which I find he offers - even when I disagree. The hostility some show on these forums is just silly and unwarranted.I regularly read how our hobby is slowly dying as audiop... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE It’s a good question. I, too, am looking at the Serafina’s, but vs. the Olympica IIIs and not against the Elipsa - which unfortunately, I can’t fit into my very large room for a variety of reasons. I think the Elipsa’s are voiced more in the lon... | |
| KEF blades 2 or Dynaudio C4? I find the reflexive hostility to audiotroy on these forums to be undeserved. Yes, he’s a dealer - which he discloses. Yes, he has brand preferences - which he discloses. Every other person who participates in these forums also has biases - mos... | |

| Budget DAC/Preamp with Remote? I might suggest the PS Audio Stellar preamp/DAC as one you should look/listen to. I bought this unit w/ their matching amp and have to say am very impressed by the sound quality. It doesn’t have tone controls or room correction, but it does have... | |
| Harbeth 40.1 vs Sonus Faber Olympia III A speaker preference is personal. Having heard both, I’d personally go with the SF. The Harbeth is not “a much better speaker” - it is a different speaker and they both have their strengths. FWIW, I own neither right now but the SF O3 is on my... | |
| Ayre <--> Parasound <--> Pass : where are you? Secretguyi have the S300 amp, not the S700 monos. I’m guessing the sound is essentially the same.best,mgrif |
