| Digital Dilemma @russ751 - Yes, I was actually looking at this unit from LHY Audio which doubles as a switch as well: https://www.beatechnik.com/lhy-audio-sw-10 I'm hoping that this, hooked up to my DAC via a BNC cable, might get me closer to my CD benchmark! | |
| Digital Dilemma @russ751 - Boy, that sounds like a pretty hefty investment there! @mofojo - It does look interesting, but it's sold out...Darn! | |
| Digital Dilemma @soix - yes it was the Pulse Mini that I had on order and no, a CD drive and internal storage is not important. I will re-visit it...Thanks! | |
| Digital Dilemma @soix I actually bought and paid for a Innuos Mini when they first came out but got tired of waiting for delivery, so when I found my DAC could stream, I cancelled my order and got my money refunded. In the meantime, I also picked up a Roon Nucle... | |
| Digital Dilemma @vthokie83 The general consensus here is as you state, so I will get a different streamer, my confusion now lies with do I get something like an ifi Zen for a few hundred dollars or spend $5,000K+ (which I don’t have anyways) as others have sugges... | |
| Digital Dilemma @bigshutterbug @kairosman - To test things out, I just hooked up and older Technics (model #SL-PG 450) CD player via RCA’s directly to the pre-amp and it sounds pretty bad compared to the Onkyo playing through the R26. The R26 doesn’t have any RCA... | |
| Digital Dilemma @bigshutterbug - interesting, but I think the R26 sounds good, I just need to refine my overall streaming set up. | |
| Digital Dilemma @wsrrsw - so no streaming on your "Big Rig"? | |
| Digital Dilemma @kairosman - DDC, what are you using and are you using the R26 as a renderer or do you have a separate streamer? | |
| Digital Dilemma @soix - great advice, thanks! | |
| Digital Dilemma @curiousjim - Belden 5000 UE 12 AWG - 4 feet long with locking bananas. | |
| Digital Dilemma @sejodiren - I paid $199 for it on Amazon last week, but they must be reading this thread as it just went up $50! Grab it while it's hot: ttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UR487A?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details | |
| Digital Dilemma @wsrrsw @jallan - Thanks. I've gotten a lots of advice here that goes from spending thousands of dollars on new equipment and cables to spending little on a new inexpensive streamer & a good USB cable to just beefing up my existing DAC with a... | |
| Digital Dilemma @riie - $12K, outta my range Captain, but thanks. | |
| Digital Dilemma Lot of great comments and advice, thanks. @luisranger2bn - What? @riie - suggestions? @antialiased - I'd like to PM you on this. @ggc - "is when I connected a $9k power cable to it" - Love it! |
