| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday I find no difference in sound quality between Qobuz Connect and my other streaming apps -- the music is still being delivered digitally from their server to my player. QC is just a controller for selection. But I'm probably as picky as some other... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Last night Qobuz Connect upgraded to v. 9.0.0.1 on my phone. I have three WiiM units that are compatible with Connect. However, when I open the Qobuz app, I find the list of available devices can be very slow to populate, though this seems to be... | |
| WiiM Ultra as Preamp I've had a WiiM Ultra for about 9 months now. It works great. However, the one potential drawback for some setups is that it's maximum output, even when used as a preamp, is limited to 2 volts. If paired with a lower gain power amp you may find ... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Update - I was able to get the Android version of Qobuz Connect 9.0.0.0 installed on my phone by turning on participation in the beta version in Play Store. As for what devices it works with, Qobuz, here is a list of brands from the Qobuz web sit... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday It doesn't appear that Android version 9.0.0.0 of the Qobuz app is available yet on Play Store. The only one showing is 8.6.1.1. which doesn't support Qobuz Connect. Looks like Android users still have a bit of a wait. | |
| How hot is too hot? I just checked the CPU temp of my Raspberry Pi music server. It’s at 58 C. My Dell laptop, which I’m using to type this response, is running at 52 C. For computer electronics you typically don’t have anything to worry about until the temp goes o... | |
| Speaker set up for more than 1 person One could get a pair of Ohms. They have a very big sweet spot. | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers @steve59 -- true the OP didn't ask the question, but another member did ask that very specific question about halfway down the page. My post was directed to him. | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers @markley -- "What is DSP?" I don't see anyone has answered your question. DSP is the acronym for Digital Signal Processing. It is often implemented these days using parametic EQ which can fine tune the equalization much more specifically than tr... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers No matter how good your system is it still has to operate in your room. It's not surprising that the room's dimensions and surfaces can dramatically affect how a speaker sounds. Most people do not have the luxury or money to build an acousticall... | |
| Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ? Put simply and without a lot of technical detail, as other have noted, many solid state amps sound downright nasty when they clip, while tube amps don't. That allows you to leave the tube amp at the higher volume even though it is still clipping v... | |
| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase I managed a stereo store back in the mid-1970s and we had several types of "regulars." Those who bought piecemeal, coming in to buy a single component as their budget allowed. Those who stopped by on a regular basis to check out the new brand... | |
| Do you grade your albums? I agree that the quality of recordings varies enormously and is a major factor in how my system sounds. However, I haven't gone to the trouble of grading my local collection of about 6,000 albums. (I also have and use a Qobuz subscription which is... | |
| Need help troubleshooting an amplifier. One last comment -- you might check around to see if there are any electronic repair shops in your area. That would save you shipping charges. | |
| Need help troubleshooting an amplifier. I have no urge to "prove you wrong" but don't understand why you thought it was unimportant to provide a make/model until pressed. Sometimes a particular make/model of just about anything (car, TV, computer, audio gear...) will have known issues ... |
