| Audio racks that can handle heavy components I am looking to purchase a reasonably priced audio rack that can handle heavy components. @referee1 , you do not mention what your "reasonable price" is, nor do you specify the weight. In any case, I have my 60lb Parasound A21 in a Salamander Aud... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @erik_squires , Thanks for sharing your experience. The A21 is a killer amp and punches above it's price point. I believe I will have to put in significantly more money to upgrade this to another Class AB or D. Making speakers is how I enjoy my... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @erik_squires , Which Parasound? How did the sound change from Parasound to Class D. I am wondering why you went back to class AB. And now looking to change to active speakers. I am very curious about NAD M23 since it is not a beast and seems wel... | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes @johnss , I agree with the same concern. But since they have a warranty of 1 year, I will see how long these Horizons last and if they will honor the warranty. At $49 a pair, I think @decooney might as well try them. It you want to get the ART se... | |
| ASIO, WHAT NOW? @joes44 , I had been an avid Foobar2000 (F2k) user and like that software. F2k can play mp4. You might need a codec for that or maybe F2k can do it natively - I have never done that. But do you know that you can directly play Youtube playlists u... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato +1 @stuartk The song that he plays at the start - not a genre I listen to. But I think not all music made today have such lyrics. Some are really good songs. The problem with today's music (any genre or language or culture, etc), is that it does... | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes Found the more recent thread where a member @alightronics is representing communications for PSVane That is the one I had linked in my response earlier today. | |
| PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes @decooney , I see that you revived the thread after almost 3 years. Things changed between then and now. I did try a pair of NOS Mazda 12AU7 and loved them for their naturalness and definition in general. I had purchased warranty of 2 years on th... | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? @mgrif104 , One thing I will mention is that "not all the bits are the same". So when I got the T+A new, I used Foobar to send DSD 512 and DSD 1024 to the DAC and noticed a difference over the previous DAC. But it was not a "game changing" experi... | |
| HiFi Rose RD160 DAC Thank You @jon2020 I will not be using the DAC as a preamp. | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? @mgrif104 That is a fascinating upgrade to look forward to - completely different league. Before you sell the DAC 200, I hope you get a chance to experience DSD 512 on this DAC. In my experience the DAC 200 without DSD 512 is like Clark Kent. An... | |
| HQ Player for Dummies Correct on both questions @boulder_bob . My PC build is linked here. Currently I do 512 DSD and it works fine even with the ASDDM7EC-super 512+fs shaper. | |
| HQ Player for Dummies You are welcome @boulder_bob I looked up opticalRendu and see this in the description - "Mode #4 - HQ Player NAA Output". So, you seem to be better equipped for streaming than I am so you go from your PC to your DAC with a USB cable? any jitte... | |
| HQ Player for Dummies @boulder_bob , no question is stupid. I am learning more on HQ Player and simply thilled at my experience. I will try to answer your questions, based on what I have learned till date: HQ Player is to be used on a computer, correct? Yes If I ... | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? @mgrif104 , That DAC you own is a level above the DAC 200 and HQ Player can only take it higher, per my experience. I am new to this whole HQ Player setup and not using the NAA feature. Have you tried the AudiophileStyle forum? I would like to kn... |
