| Dolby Atmos: does it do anything for two-channel reproduction? Hi OP - I have a HT set up and that shares the space and some equipment with my 2 channel space. Atmos via Apple or another streaming service isn’t designed to provide a benefit into a 2 channel set up. As a previous poster mentions, it does mak... | |

| Lumin P1 or Pre / Streamer / DAC separates? So I took the plunge on a P1. It’s got around 24 hours of burn in. Out of the box, wasn’t impressed. Had attributes I liked but sounded somewhat thin and etched. Sounded a tad better with a pre in the chain, the LEEDH volume control came in th... | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? You can easily have both in the same space as noted by many. For the gear you have you can make it all work with a simple switch box, this takes care of your current equipment lacking HT Bypass. If you aren’t sure the type of box, there are seve... | |
| streaming and audiophile stereo OP - this is a hot topic, as others have suggested, if you search this topic you’ll find a lot of threads, guidance, discussion. I am on the digital journey and here are some suggestions, humble learnings, and I’m still tweaking, taking some chan... | |
| Lumin P1 or Pre / Streamer / DAC separates? Thanks for the responses! A little further clarification, the SS Krell Pre performs better in my chain currently. Aspects I really like about the Zesto but doesn’t have the best synergy with the Krell Amp I have. I guess what I need to weigh... | |
| Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me The HiFi Audio market is an Uber competitive space today with a shrinking customer base. The internet has opened up the possibility of the brick and mortar stores not being needed due to online sales, brands being able to go direct to market and ... | |
| Auralic Aries G1 Streamer / MHDT Pagoda Balanced DAC - is a Lumin T3 an upgrade? Hi Sunshdw, Thanks for the response. I am trying toweigh if shifting back to an all in one solution would be an overall upgrade in SQ vs the separate units I have today. With the thought I could, if I wanted to, sell the G1 and the MHDT to help... | |
| Help - Mystery Hum that starts at my Streamer Thanks for your comments Erik! I have the Ever Star in the chain and I have unplugged the Ethernet cable, hum is still present. Had forgotten I had tried that during my process of elimination. Maybe it is the upgraded power supply, unit has an ... | |
| Help - Mystery Hum that starts at my Streamer Cleeds - thanks for the quick response. I noticed the hum once I swapped out the Krell Pre for the Leto. That’s when I tried my Anthem HT receiver as a pre and going direct from my DAC. Only combo that elevates the him is with the Krell Pre in ... | |
| Help - Mystery Hum that starts at my Streamer Oddiofyl - thanks for the suggestion, I will give that a shot. That’s the one area I handle swamped anything out on except removing a noise filter. I have a home run Ethernet run from where my modem and the switch sits to the streamer, if that... | |
| DACs that do well without a preamp The Lumin D2 offers LEEDH and is a little over 2 grand. You can find a used one with an S-Booster for under that #. With the upgraded power supply it’s an absolute steel at that price relative to performance and features. Lumin offers one of th... | |
| Advice on Integrated Receiver @bound4h I’d be in the camp that if you aren’t currently happy with your speakers changing the amplification isn’t likely to cause you to fall in love with them. Amps will amplify no pun intended strengths or weaknesses of a speaker but it won’t ... | |
| Help and Advice Needed: Cary Audio SLP-05 Preamp RMA Disaster Hi Decooney, My gear sounds better with XLR’s. That’s really driven by the design of the DAC I have and my amp. I have tried RCA’s with both, it’s really due to the design of the gear, not if RCA or XLR’s in theory provide better sound quality... | |
| Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS The Coda 16 is on another level. If you are looking at the Coda 8 - put Krell in the mix, I found the 300xd outperformed the Coda, was a step up. To be fair, haven’t heard the 16 but from what I have read, it’s an End Game, magical amp. There h... |
