| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer Hi arafiq, I do not use roon. An expense I don’t need. Inuos pulse mini is fed from ethernet, with the long 25 ft run between router and mini converter to fiber, then back to ethernet. I wanted strictly a streamer, it can send to many dacs. In ... | |

| Ethernet opinions Qobuzz and tidal “stream” the audio file to your player if you do not have a local copy. some streamers do NOT provide any local storage, so you never get the cached track: it is going to stream the track every time. If playing through a phone, ... | |
| Marantz AV7706 11.2Ch 8K Ultra HD AV Surround Pre-Amplifier with HEOS® Yeah, ARCAM might be something I would look at if I needed an audio preamp.. but it is twice the price of the denon and marantz or onkyo.. I don’t like movies THAT much… ;-p | |
| Worth adding an extra cable to tri-wire? So why not get an active crossover and amp those drivers separately? | |
| Amazon Music HD-- Am I the only one who knows about this? Download amazon hd to nas(ssd drives) then play with streamer integration? Or save to a usb drive with ssd or nvme drives inside, then hook it up to the dac? | |
| Best way to A/B two different streamers The dac only has one usb input? Does it have an optical in? You could do one usb, one optical, play nothing higher than 24/192 (depending on the optical out lf the streamer and in of the dac… maybe have to limit to 24/96) then just switch be... | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? If you end up running any wire, I would suggest cat out to a fibre media converter, make the long run to where your dac sits with optical fiber, then use another media converter for optical back to ethernet with a very short, shielded cat 6/7/8 ca... | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer On your gustard r26: Did you compare the fast/medium/slow? I find the slow well suited for tracks that are heavily acoustic with the fast being better suited to electronica and/or many instruments with fast changes.. ie metallica and Iron Maiden... | |
| Marantz AV7706 11.2Ch 8K Ultra HD AV Surround Pre-Amplifier with HEOS® Denon AVR-X4800H? The Sony is interesting with the 5 year warranty and support for wireless rear speakers. But the, 2, subs are not individually controllable as on denon, onkyo, marantz, though the onkyo has only 2 sub outs.. and all of these h... | |
| Marantz AV7706 11.2Ch 8K Ultra HD AV Surround Pre-Amplifier with HEOS® Thanks kota. Those were not even on my radar.. I’ll check them out. | |

| Marantz AV7706 11.2Ch 8K Ultra HD AV Surround Pre-Amplifier with HEOS® To clarify: I have an entirely separate system for 2 channel stereo/music. I am just looking for an HT receiver with all the current theater codec and video standards that will last me another 8-10 years as my onkyo has to this point. My initia... | |
| Ethernet opinions Just ordered an optical link setup, cat in, optical out, run 25 feet, optical in, shielded short patch cable, then to streamer. The theory sounds reasonable. The analog noise will be removed and interference on the long run minimized so the end p... | |
| PART 2. Good Suggestions for Tube Pre/Amp for $6000 Carver RAM285. See Axpona reviews. Or just buy a 25,@$1995, 30 day in-home trial, then, if you want, you can use the guaranteed trade up value later to upgrade to a 285 or the 350. (Though a pair of 350s is $9500 currently) Be one of the first... |
