| Holo Red Streamer Jackd, Thank you for the step-by-step directions. I will give it a go and report back. Cheers. Neal | |
| Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ I have been using Tidal for 2 years and enjoy it immensely. Not only is sound quality excellent (especially MQA, and now they have added Atmos), but also their enormous inventory I am seeking. As well, their utility and ease both on computer and i... | |
| STREAMER Every time someone tells you a PC will not make a difference (it's all 0's and 1's!), they are always wrong. The PC always makes a difference, just a matter of degree. No one can adequately explain the science. Neal | |
| Streamers? Apology accepted, Rider. Thank you. I actually purchased the Odin digicable in 2015 from a highly rated Audiogoner. Yes, it was 5 figures USD, but not ridiculously so compared to the IC's, which are two cables. I compared the Odin to the then ... | |
| Streamers? Rockrider, My mother taught me to ignore puerile comments, so I am ignoring. | |
| Streamers? I have ordered the Holo Red streamer ($800) to replace the streamer card in my PS Audio DSD Mk I DAC. As streamer costs go, this one is modest, but we'll see what improvement is wrought. Probably connect AQ Vodka ethernet (excellent) from router t... | |
| Firewall module by Less Loss I have used the LessLoss Firewalls for Speakers and they provided audible improvements. Neal | |
| Hybrid Tube Preamp - Loud Pops and Crackles One colleague (oddiofyl) above suggested re-tensioning tube sockets. I will follow your suggestions and see what happens. I too am surprised two sets of tubes causing the same noises, so it is unlikey the tubes are the problem. Thank you. Neal | |
| Hybrid Tube Preamp - Loud Pops and Crackles Thx, colleagues. I will tool with the tubes and tube sockets and play with the volume control ( a possibility) and the IC cables (RCA and XLR). Beyond my skill to deal with cap or resistor. I am in NYC and hope I may not bother you -- but I might.... | |
| Ethernet cable recommendations I have moved from Supra CAT 8 (good) to Wireworld Starlight 8 (better) to now Audioquest Vodka (best of the 3). Each step was an audible improvement, with the AQ Vodka a significant increase in quality from the Wireworld Starlight 8, which was ver... | |
| Sonore Rendu or similar thyname, It was a sincere thank you, no churlishness at all. I mean it. And thank you, too, yyz. A bit more complicated I am now ready to venture. Neal | |
| Sonore Rendu or similar Telling me a lot I don't know about a topic I never thought about. Thank you. | |
| Streaming Spotify vs Tidal I have been using Tidal on my iPhone, laptop, and streamer via the Big Rig. Easy to use, enormous inventory; interesting playlists and artist proposed playlists; and you can download onto your iPhone and take it with you. I think Tidal is the cat'... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Should I be convinced that the PS Audio DSD DAC (with latest software) and Network Bridge II is out there which notably superior to what I own? With an AQ Vodka Ethernet cable, it is all dead silent and audibly serendipitous. Am I to upgrade a DAC... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES I went from Supra (Cat 8) to Wireworld Starlight 8 to Audioquest Vodka (Cat 7). Each step was an audible improvement, especially the move up to the Vodka, better than the two prior Cat 8's, FWIW the Cat level between 7 and 8 seems to be irrelevant... |
