| 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... | |
| Effects of concrete as base for subs, speakers and potentially equipment I limited my earlier response to your question about using custom concrete slabs and did not address the floor. The wider the slabs, the greater the improvement by spreading the load over a larger area, but @o_holter is correct that gains can be m... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing Have any of you used the Sonore products, ultraRendu, opticalRendu, or Signature Rendu SE and, if so, what did you think and particularly compared to other options? The first two range from like $1.1K to $1.8K, which should meet the "intermediate... | |
| Effects of concrete as base for subs, speakers and potentially equipment If your friend is good with shapes, insets, etc. you have a few interesting options: Concrete Mixture - Check with your friend whether he thinks that adding polystyrene balls (sometimes added for a lower unit weight) would help with damping and... | |
| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! The internet contributed to the near-death of the Brick and Mortar audio shop that you and I remember from the 70's. If you want to actually hear and see a wide range of different high end gear, go attend one of the larger audio shows. I am sure... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? At the level participated in by many here, this is a niche hobby with a relatively wide range of products being marketed to a relatively small (and becoming smaller) audience of hobbyists. As such, development, manufacturing, inventory, and sales... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I wouldn't label particular audio products as a "farce" any more than many other types of commercial products. In cases where key performance metrics are mostly subjective rather than measurable, then the value can only be judged by what a buyer ... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? @eldulcesol Lucky for you to see that show. I would really like to see them or Tedeschi Trucks but neither of those bands are anywhere near where t can get to this year. I will have to fix that next year. I am glad you were able to see a grea... |
