| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs Audioarchon: Thanks for that! This is part of what I was wondering. Is much of the Grimm magic lost when the upsampling is limited to what my AN UK DAC4 can deal with? That was another question I have. I am in St. Louis, so not far away. | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs Yes audphile1, I had been thinking about adding a clock to my current Innuous Zen. And I believe the Grimm mu-1 has a very sophisticated clock and is optimized for spdif output. So I'm definitely heading that direction one way or another. I don't... | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs Ha! If Peter Qvordrup were dead he'd be rolling in his grave! Audio Note builds their dacs very intentionally to avoid all that! Read up on their design philosophy ... It's pretty interesting. And I for one would never argue with the incredible re... | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs Appreciate the suggestion but I would not change DACs. The Audio Note sounds so much closer to real than most digital I have heard. Different design approach entirely than high-res design approach. Like most things in this hobby though, well execu... | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs Thanks dsockel. Yeah it's funny I was just reading about the Grimm mu1 last night. Did optimizes for SPDIF and aes, so that's a good fit for the audio note and put as well. | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs Thanks for your thoughtful reply. My digital sounds very good to my ears so I need to keep the AN DAC. It brought my digital so much closer to the musical enjoyment of vinyl. That in the addition of a six pack of REL subwoofers. I actually had a f... | |
| Equalization with REL six pack Just getting back to everyone because I have my six pack and it set up properly buy a local St Louis dealer. It is pretty amazing. Two things I learned help answer my questions that I originally posted: 1. Regarding the potential overlap of subwo... | |
| Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output Thanks for the responses. I was only surprised because with my Berning preamp I have to dial the digital higher than the phono. But I realized after reading your comments that the Berning mc transformers were adjusted to high gain. That explains ... | |
| Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output Hi guys. Returning to this thread because I actually bought a Masseto! I have had it up and running for a few days now. It sounds beautiful and seems to have adequate gain for my koetsu rwsp, just as you all predicted. An unexpected oddity emerge... | |
| Equalization with REL six pack However I'm not inclined to second guess John Hunter and all the dealers who have set up thousands of six packs. My working assumption is that they are right but I would just like to know why! | |
| Equalization with REL six pack Thanks for clarifying Gene. You bring up another point that had me scratching my head, which is why the three subs would be moved alongside the main speakers when an array is used, versus taking advantage of slightly different room placement to ev... | |
| Equalization with REL six pack I am attenuating to ameliorate a room problem between 40-80 hz that I cannot treat for ... not for parlor tricks. Thanks for assuming the worst without knowing anything about me, Gene. | |
| Equalization with REL six pack m-db: Not sure how this applies to my question of when to apply attenuation in the setup process? Before or after setting the REL crossovers and volumes? Thanks | |
| REL six pack questions Thanks audiorusty! Yeah you make a great point about them using small monitors for their demo. But in many installations they use giant main speakers that have response down to the bottom. So it's still a mystery to me with those kinds of speakers... | |
| REL six pack questions Thanks Charlie. I keep reading these kinds of things, so am excited to hear it. |
