| Storing DSD/PCM files and playing through a DAC Agreed @johnss . My DSD files are currently on one HDD and a laptop. The new HDD/SSD would be exclusively for music. | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? @rareace,I agree with @dvdboulet on the power conditioner. While I do not have much experience with power conditioners (Brickwall was the only other one before this), I can say with confidence that this product literally transformed my listening e... | |
| Rockna Wavelight thoughts? @teajay , will wait to read your review. Will be an interesting read. Which other DAC will you be comparing with this Rockna? | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! The best mechanics in the world are not necessarily the best drivers for Formula 1 or alike. Just saying. | |
| Add an external DAC. Make my Oppo UDP-205 a true top player While the Oppo might not outperform a really nice DAC or a dedicated SACD/CD player, one thing you might want to do is keep the player "on" for at least an hour before listening. Another thing is to use a good power conditioner. In my system it ma... | |
| Anyone try the Psvane Acme Supreme 300 B tubes ? I don't have the 300B tubes. But I recently got the Psvane 12AU7s. The initial 10-15 hours they sounded "alright". But once they "broke in", they are better than the Genalex Gold Loins I have. They are super transparent and open without sounding t... | |
| Storing DSD/PCM files and playing through a DAC Thank You for the info @rego and @er | |
| Help Ripping an HDCD Encoded CD... I was wondering, if I can get the FLAC file "HDCD decoded" when ripping the CD to FLAC in Foobar2000. Meaning - the DAC does not have the capability to decode the HDCD flag. So the FLAC should already have the HDCD encoding. Does Foobar's plugin d... | |
| Storing DSD/PCM files and playing through a DAC @rego,I can have a NAS connected to my Router and I do have a hardwired connection in my audio room, if I need to connect the network cable to the Oppo or an external DAC.I have downloaded the Bubble UPnP on my android tablet. I will explore more ... | |
| Storing DSD/PCM files and playing through a DAC @erik_squires,That was my thought about SSD and NVMe. Silent, but slightly pricey, which in the long run is fine.How do you like the Roon's sound quality? Based on your suggestion I did look at Roon and found that this might be something I would b... | |
| SACD @twoleftears ,You can pick one of the following Sony players from eBay/Amazon for $50 and rip your SACD, as .dsf files.BDP-S390 (or BX39), BDP-S490, BDP-S590 (or BX59), BDP-S4100, BDP-S5100 (or BX510)I did this over the past couple of weeks. Did n... | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? Recently changed to a Psvane 12AU7 and love this tube over the Gold Lions. These are much more open, slightly less warm, but tons of details and superbly balanced. I got mine from Viva tubes in MA. | |
| best power conditioners under 4k The Inakustik AC-3500p has done an amazing job in my system. The difference between it "being in the system" vs "not being in the system" is significant. For me it is a worthwhile investment and the price is less than the budget you have set.Check... | |
| Inakistik LS-2404 Referenz AIR loudspeaker cables I believe they come in 2.5 meter. Check with Robert, who is the NA Inakustik dealer, if he can get a 2 meter config for you. Sometimes sites list only the most popular option, because some configs might have longer wait times, especially if they c... | |

It is my personal journey, and I have everything listed, including pictures. The Clear Day are very ni... |
