| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions Good comments and about streamers - thanks. I was able to hook up the Sonore Signature Rendu SE Optical (SRO) today in my system for a trial, and I like what I am hearing. I then wired a new dedicated line to my panel to power my IT-server area a... | |
| Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ You will likely get almost as many different opinions as responses. Mine is, you could do a bunch of stuff and buy a bunch of stuff but, unless you have a noticeable noise issue, you will be hard-pressed to hear a difference from the changes bein... | |
| Bananas vs Spades - for Jumpers? “bananas on one end and spades on the other” The best option for flexibility, IMO. I like the BFA style. | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? @noromance @bigkidz +2 I cannot think of a time in the past 20 years when I have been wrong on my first impression of a component/speaker after trying it in my system. Sometimes in the "first 5 minutes" and certainly within the first couple of ... | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? Lower the prices That’s ridiculous. High end audio is a tough business and few get rich off of it. Pricing is reflective of R&D costs, manufacturing, sales network (dealers or direct), shipping and, finally, what the market will bear. Compa... | |
| Duelund Tinned Copper Speaker Cables @mdrone - I have compared the Jupiter tinned copper wire against the same from Duelund as ICs and couldn’t really hear a difference. I have not compared them as speaker cables. Last week, I re-installed my 7awg tinned copper Western Electric peak... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions So you all got me interested in Grimm again and I reached out to them and asked whether they were considering developing a streamer type product. John-Paul Lizars replied that their goal of the MU1/MU2 was to offer "a self contained solution to d... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions @jonwolfpell @antigrunge2 - Thanks for the feedback. That is the type of support I am looking for and that I remember from when I was using the DX3. I believe you are much more likely to have proactive and responsive support from the compan... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions So, for all of you Innuos owners, how active are they on updates and how responsive is their support if you need it? | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions @antigrunge2 Are you suggesting either the ZENith Mk3 or the ZEN Mk3 along with the Phoenix USB reclocker? I noticed Antipodes did go from their separate EX/CX to the one box Oladra or K50 solutions. I really liked using the DX3 and would con... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions Wow, what a great thread. Thank you for the responses everyone. Based on what I have read, the Innuos Pulsar and Sonore Signature Rendu SE Optical remain strong choices in the $5-8K range, along with the Auralic Aries G2.2. One drawback with th... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions Thanks everyone, so far. @joc3021 - I am glad to hear you have had good luck with the Pulsar. I have heard several times that the SQ from Innuos' own Sense app is better than from Roon. Do you know if there would be a way to toggle between Roo... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions @nekoaudio I have looked at the Lumin line up and was interested in the U2 mini, especially with the option of removing the SMPS and changing over to an exterior LPS. However, I could not find anywhere on their website the voltage or amperage o... | |
| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? I have a high end DAC for sale right now. One month’ish old with full transferrable warranty (minus the month). New condition, except it has been played for a couple of weeks. I received it from the dealer as part of a trade of another DAC I owned... |
