| Balanced vs Unbalanced Digital Cables XLR is designed for long cable runs and noisy environments. Like concerts with tons of gear and cables. Or recording studios. I’d say it depends how your equipment is designed. If it is fully balanced internally, then, obviously, use XLR in order ... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality Remember that 'fiber' is only local. Actual path to the streaming cloud goes via multiple paths, electric, fiber, satellite, hundreds of switches and routers. Data comes out of order and reassembled locally. There is no actual "stream" between you... | |
| Are Marantz and Bowers & Wilkens becoming pawns in Masimo's internal fight? I would not invest in any high end audio manufacturer | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? And I bet 90% of buyers will put them in their expensive houses with glass floor to ceiling windows and zero acoustic treatment | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @daveyf - this is the only way they can survive. Too few customers. Young folks buy $500 active system at Amazon and it sounds pretty good (facing my desktop active speakers with ribbons right now). Also, young generation is much better educated i... | |

| Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini? @jastralfu - yeah, I get that. Although 5 years is enough to write *a lot* of code really. However, the comment was "that the operating system alone, took five years at a considerable cost" - hence my question. | |
| Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini? @audiotroy - site says it runs RTLinux, so what did take 5 years of development? | |
| Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini? I'd say check software that controls the unit first. Many streamers pretty much require Roon. I don't want to pay for sub, so I got Aurender. | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming Ethernet cables won't make any difference. I'd be looking at the DAC. Or change the streamer, maybe borrow some other model. See if it makes a difference. Perhaps CPU overheats or something. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? @bottomzone - AI will add variations and 'individual behavior', different every evening. AI can learn what is different in each performance and generate slight changes every time you listen, if you want it to. 'Emotions' are perfectly measurable. ... | |
