| Quobuz subscription @anzaanimalclinic -- just a reminder that the OP was complaining about the mediocre sound quality of a few specific albums. Understand that neither Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify or any of the other streaming actually record or produce music themselves. N... | |
| Quobuz subscription @czarivey -- I've had a Qobuz subscription for several years now and have been very pleased with it. So, I tried out some of the albums you mentioned above by Masayoshi Takanaka and Eloy and can't say I was impressed by the recording quality. My D... | |
| Geshelli Labs J2 DAC There is a short discussion thread on this over at Audioasylum in the Digital area. | |
| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage That is a big set of speakers for a fairly small room! I had a pair of Maggie 1.6QRs when we moved some years ago and I tried to use them in a 14 X 15 room. They just didn't work well and I sold them. And squareness doesn't help. My 2 cents is th... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume OK, just listened to the piece. The drum rolls occur between 9 minutes into the piece to just over the 10 minute mark. There is an incredible amount of very, very deep bass involved, but I heard no cracks or snaps of any type on my stereo. My sys... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume Just out of curiosity, what is the specific Mahler 8th recording that does this? It'd be interesting to look at what's in the recording at that point. | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? @unsound -- you're right. I had a pair of the original Ohm Fs back in the mid-1970s. They had no tweeter, but the cone was made from different materials -- metal at the top to handle highs, but bonded to a paper at the bottom. Any original A and... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume The Borrensen web site says the tweeter crosses over at 2.5KHz. That seems too high for the tweeter to generate a whiplash sound by itself. However, my first guess goes with what Erik says -- a woofer bottoming out. That can make a cracking soun... | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? @jaymark -- my understanding of most Ohm Walsh speakers is that the main driver has no crossover and runs up to 8KHz or above, and that the single tweeter just uses a single capacitor to cut off frequencies below that point. To my mind, that high ... | |
| Yggdrasil OG dac anologue 2 possible problem The way I read the original post is that he is not concerned about the click itself, but rather the timing difference between the left and right channels. Not sure a quarter of a second is something I'd worry about, but suspect that it is much mor... | |
| Yggdrasil OG dac anologue 2 possible problem Schiit uses different clocks for 44.1K vs 48K (and multiples thereof for 88.2K and 96K, etc.) This gives the most precise handling of the digital to analog conversion. Cheaper DACs will use a single clock and approximate the sample frequency. S... | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? Interesting comments regarding the quality of veneer finish. I tried a set of Ohm 200s about 15 years ago and the cabinet quality was mediocre, but not bad. Fast forward to more recent times and I bought a set of Ohm 1000s about 4 years ago and t... | |
| BS Node N130 USB to External DAC won't work You did say you have a "new" Black Ice DAC. That could be a possible issue if it is new enough that BS hasn't configured their software to work with this particular model, even if it works with other Black Ice models. That has been an issue over... | |
| HD Failing on Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Player, Need help from Owners of Sony Player Do a Google or Duck Duck Go search for "clone linux hdd to sdd" and you'll get a mountain of info on the subject. | |
| BS Node N130 USB to External DAC won't work In looking at the owners manual for the N130, it has only one USB port. The default setting is as an input for a USB thumb driver or external USB hard drive. The manual says that to use it as a USB output to a DAC, the Node needs updated software... |
