| iFi LAN iSilencer connection @dean_palmer of course it does. This is why the network is designed with recovery. Surely, if you unable to own files from cloud or Netflix is broken, then yeah, time to check cabling and equipment. It is a pretty trivial test - like copy large fi... | |
| Digital vs Analog experiment @audioman58 - how does power cable improve operation of network stack in the router? What changes exactly? | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection @antigrunge2 I well understand now networks operate. I don’t need “opinions”. If there is benefit, it should be described properly, as in what exactly the device does and how does it benefit the unit hardware and software in terms of network opera... | |
| Power Cables @knownothing - when analog is involved - sure. DAC, for example. When it is is pure network device - nope. Or else somehow Word files would arrive modified over the Net. | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @total111 - certainly. Conversion to analog is a wholly different subject. The issue is in pure digital, and not just digital like with jitter, but computer networks. Streamers. Routers. Firewalls. | |
| Tidal removing all MQA @jl1ny - unfortunately, often digital material is mastered much worse than analog. I basically went back to get better sound. I don't often play LPs, I record them in 24/192 and play the recording. Remember reel-to-reel days? | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? You can tell by crazy prices. The industry survives on shrinking population. They sell fewer and fewer items and end up raising prices to compensate. High end industry lost its connection with customers long time ago. It decided to focus on a few... | |
| iFi LAN iSilencer connection Won't make any difference. Ethernet does not lose any bits. Stream goes literally via hundreds of switches, converters, routers, coax, fiber, satellite links and nothing ever gets lost. | |
| All around headphone amp recommendations I like my new Denafrips Artemis better than my older Pass Labs HPA-1. Artemis is Class A and tends to run quite warm. It is brighter than HPA-1, but quite a bit more detailed in the bass region. My tastes are classic rock, new wave, punk, metal, ... | |
| Kondo DAC : Why no reviews ?? Is it finally proper 24/96 at least? 20 bit DAC chips from yesteryear don’t cut it anymore... | |
| Power Cables @ghdprentice may I suggest you study network protocols and operating systems? So tell me, how does performance of your computer changes when you upgrade its power cable. I’d love to hear. Still waiting for an explanation what is exactly a "built ... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @jlbkmb1958 - if recording was made and mastered digitally, there is no reason to convert it back to analog. The fewer conversions, the better. | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? @inna - Ultimately, the band decides. Parsons own recordings are better. But then again, technology improves with time. 1975 and 1990 is a big difference. I just got 2018 remix of Animals on vinyl, haven't have time to dig into it. | |
| Kickstarter project I participated in several, all good | |
| New Amp concept or already there? True, you would have to have multiple stacks with proper voltages since DC/DC conversion involves RF noise... |
