| Upgraded from Klipsch to Volti - Was it worth it? @sns - Perhaps competition is good for Klipsch? Actually doubt, however, they pay much attention to Volti? Klipsch is very price point oriented and can't let that get too far away from them - they also have to pay dealers whereas Volti is not. ... | |
| Upgraded from Klipsch to Volti - Was it worth it? @joshindc Think that's fair, and there are some direct comparisons when doing so - like the Rivals 'throw' further than the Luceras (like LaScala v. Cornwall). But I haven't heard the Klipsch that sounds as clear, as clean, and has the bass ex... | |

| Upgraded from Klipsch to Volti - Was it worth it? @kennyc - Sounds like universe was looking after you! Indeed, everything getting more and more expensive as our money is debased, ugh! Just heard that AudioQuest prices are going up 1 August... My Rivals are on 20' long cables, I had AQ Rocket ... | |
| Upgraded from Klipsch to Volti - Was it worth it? @mswale I think the Luceras can be had for substantially less than that - and if out of state (Tennessee) then no sales tax should be necessary. If interested, give Gregg a call and get a quote. | |
| Upgraded from Klipsch to Volti - Was it worth it? @trivema Indeed, everything is built to a price point - everything! Like you, I also have several systems in my house, each one doing it's specific job. In fact I have 7 sound systems in my house, LOL, including one in the garage. One of the ... | |
| Upgraded from Klipsch to Volti - Was it worth it? Think I posted the wrong link to the Volti/Klipsch video... this is the right one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btdQbNw1Huk&t=1s | |
| Upgraded from Klipsch to Volti - Was it worth it? @gkelly - Funny how that works... Universe provides and guides! | |
| Do people hate Eversolo on here? Or is it liked some? I own an A-6 Master Edition and an A-8 on two different systems... After owning streamers that cost 4X as much, as STREAMERS ONLY they are as good if not better sound, function, and definately better UI than the more expensive ones I tried. The D... | |
| Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or... Clean power is important. If you're using stock power cords w/o a conditioner, I think spending a little is warranted. For me, I saw large improvements by going to all Audioquest NRG-Y3 (or better) power chords and something as inexpensive as an... | |

| Streaming recommendations Without knowing exact budget, a step up in fidelity and user experience can be found at a very reasonable price with the Eversolo products. They can be used as a stand alone streaming transport, or with their DAC. If using their DAC, then the AM... | |
| Benchmark DAC2 HGC as compared to current DACs I own a WiiM Ultra in a third system but have quite a bit of experience with it now. I I use it as a streamer only as the DAC is not that good, imo. So upgrading the DAC for $500 might be a worthwhile upgrade. Alternatively I think the EverSolo... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers Very noticeable differences using as a streamer only. I have a McIntosh C49 Preamp into a McIntosh MA462 so they resolve very well and has a good McIntosh DAC. Using a Wiim Ultra ($350) to stream only sounds ok/good, is better than Bluetooth and... |
