| Goldenear Triton One bass setting https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_subwooferkicktest.php Like the test says, the tracks with deeper bass should sound the same loudness as the ones with less bass, only difference should be extension. | |
| Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7? Most setups don’t use more than 25W, even using 100W is rare. | |
| Relaxed, musical DAC around 2k used? @erik_squires Caveat I left out, if using the MQA filter. Some MQA DACs only offer 1, so you are stuck with the MQA filter. That Mytek offers more than 1, the SR filter rolls off after 10kHz, as per your measurement link. Also, for that Mytek, yo... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? @lalitk Transparency doesn’t always equates to musicality. Musicality is a non-descript term, might as well say “The sound was too orange.” No one knows exactly what someone else means when they use that term. I used transparency, which is easily... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? @lalitk I stated it’s one of the most transparent DACs out there. That may sound boring to you if you aren’t looking to listen to your music as is truly sounds. Either way, if you can disprove my claim on it being one of the best in terms of tra... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? @lalitk As I’ve stated elsewhere, if you know you are playing that DAC, your evaluations are invalid from a credibility viewpoint. | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? @hgeifman They didn’t, that division of OPPO was shut down (the Hi-Fi 4K market is small). | |
| Question on home theater/music listening set up 100% fabricated myth that an 8” is tighter than an 18” (though it should be obvious that a $500 8” is likely better quality than a $500 18”). A well built subwoofer is good no matter the driver size. Rythmik’s owner has a Ph.D in Electrical Engine... | |
| No Sound for TV apps thru Marantz AVR YouTube is stereo only (expect some of their YouTube Premium/Red content). To do pseudo-surround, switch the mode on the receiver from Stereo/Direct/etc. to Dolby Pro Logic II (or Dolby Surround if yours is newer). It may be considered a sin here... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? @lalitk average quality DAC. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-oppo-udp-205-u... Try one of the best (most transparent) DACs on the planet. | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? @lincnabby That Massdrop tube amp is decent, but the JDS Labs Atom is better and cheaper. It may or may not be audible, but that Massdrop tube amp leaks power supply noise (multiples of 60Hz), so a power conditioner with noise filtration may be w... | |
| Question on home theater/music listening set up ELAC is warm (the designer even states so), B&W is bright (good for low-level listening, though the employ a dip in the crossranhe which I hate), Mirage is meh, Paradigm is fine, SVS is fine. The NHT C3 bookshelves or C4 towers, and whatever ... | |
| No Sound for TV apps thru Marantz AVR HDMI ARC is one of the most unreliable technologies in existance. Optical should work though, make sure your Marantz is set to the right input and make sure the tv is outputting sound through optical by checking it’s audio settings. | |
| Relaxed, musical DAC around 2k used? Every MQA DAC rolls off the highs for PCM music, so something from Mytek for instance would have less upper treble than a Benchmark DAC3B or Chord Qutest (these have neutral sound). | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? If going digital out, it performs no differently than any other quality player. It’s DAC however is one of the best on the market. |
