| Parasound JCM 250 @bigtwin , how about your own speakers? They might go down pretty low in impedance, right? And this is a Curl design - so I am guessing it is a no-nonsense design and probably does what it says. I remember from quite some years ago when an online ... | |

| Preamp with Parasound A21+ amp? BTW, posts like these always reminds me of a user - almarg - who is no more with us. He would have provided the details on why the Rotel might sound sterile and which impedance preamplifier you should be going with, etc., to make your system sound... | |
| Preamp with Parasound A21+ amp? I have the Parasound A21 amplifier and the Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 preamplifier. Together they make fantastic music. For your budget you can go to the Extreme version of this preamp. | |
| Not selling Cardas cables online again, just wanted to share..... Hope you had taken the pictures of your cables. Once you receive the fake cable, you might be able to compare and then send them to Audiogon and PayPal. Also, if possible, you should post his username on the forum so that rest of the folks can avo... | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? For me, Audiogon = "check out any time you like, you can never leave". Kind of like addiction. | |
| Mastering legend Bernie Grundman explains why the measurement crowd has it all wrong! It is astounding to see people lacking any psycho-acoustics concepts quarelling about subjectivity OR objectivity as children divided in two groups Quarelling - really? Debating would be the right word. Anyway, you also probably lack the comple... | |

Do you and I hear the same? What if you have lost some hearing and still think you hear accurately? You can measure an audio signal... | |
| Did I Get the Wrong Intel NUC? +1 @yage You might not get the sale price again. What is the drive in this? HDD? If it is a SSD, but not M.2, check with other Roon users and see if it makes that much of a difference. | |
| SACD is VERY confusing lasers get weak with age This is correct, but it take a few years to reach that stage. Best thing to do it so rip the SACD as DSF files and play it via software player. You can buy a cheap Sony/Pioneer player off eBay and rip the SACD. Then arc... | |
| Playing DSD files Here is my setup to get DSD raw out of Foobar and not DoP: | |
| SACD is VERY confusing Not sure what the confusion is about SACD. You buy SACD players to play SACD discs and connect the RCA/XLR out to preamp or integrated amp. The only way to get DSD out is through HDMI/I2S cables of some blu-ray players and get the output to the D... | |

| Playing DSD files @o_holter , Fidelizer has nothing to do with DSD. It optimizes playback by shutting down unwanted services and daemons running in the background. There is something more that it might be doin. You can go to their website and lookup. Like I said, ... | |
| Playing DSD files @o_holter , you are welcome. Please understand that Foobar2000 is an old software and the user needs to be a bit savvy. And very sincerely - I am not meaning that in any derogatory sense. I have investigated a lot of time for this software than a... |
