| Audiophile Setup with an Iphone 7 Rpeebles, what's your budget? Also, do you intend to output the Tidal service via your iPhone? | |
| Bluray Hi Rez audio I also own an Ayre Codex and an OPPO BDT-101CI player. The problem with the lower end OPPO is that they aren't licensed to output SACD audio to optical (supports CD, DVDs), just to the RCAs + HDMI. The OPPO 105 + 205 may have the ability to outpu... | |
| Recommendations for headphones under $400? I would agree with noble100. I've bought several headphones from Massdrop over the years. IMO, I think the best deal (price/performance) on the headphone market is the Massdrop Sennheiser HD6XX, which is the exactly the same model as the Sennhe... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com I would have to agree with jl35. You need to listen to some of these speakers. We all hear a differently so buy the speakers that sound the best to you. Don’t worry about what other say or what you read in reviews. Go and listen to as many speake... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com Sonus Faber is a good option. I would also look at the B&W 700 series 702 at Best Buy. Your local Best Buy makes have it in the show room. Or maybe you find a magnolia show room at Best Buy near you. | |
| Aurender N10 Airplay (Audio Streaming) Stuttering My Aurender N00H using AirPlay is flakey at best. It’s pretty much hit or miss. Sometimes it’s good, sometime it’s horrible. Tidal always streams great! Thank goodness :) I suspect it’s the implementation of the airplay support. They probably ... | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints.. Nice. I when up to an Ayre AX5 Twenty. Much more refined than the Rogue. Both are excellent amps. | |
| Bluesound vs SOtM Why do you need Roon? You don’t necessarily need it to stream Tidal. You could always get Roon later. One option is buy the Bluesound from Crutchfield and give it an audition. Their return policy is excellent. If you don’t like the bluesound r... | |
| Bluesound vs SOtM In the long run, I think you will be happier with the added power supply. All the reviews seem to indicate a bump in the SQ with the added linear power supply. | |
| Bluesound vs SOtM I’ve owned an Ayre Codex for several years now and it’s far from harsh and flat in my system. You definitely have some issues with your source or cables. I’ve used the Codex connected to an Aurender N100H via USB and the sound is excellent. I’ve a... | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints.. I owned a Rogue CM2 before moving to an Ayre SS amp. Fantastic amp for it's money. I wished I kept it for a second system, I will be building out next year. Honestly for me, I also loved the way the Rogue looked compared to the others. Good L... | |
| Musician vs. audiophile @czarivey, that's pretty funny! I think I understand where you're coming from. | |
| Set me straight, don't pull punches Speakers are a very personal thing. Don’t listen to people’s opinions, pick whatever sounds best to you. You need to love it and live with it. :) Good luck! | |
| Musician vs. audiophile First...I agree mostly with Charles to trust your ears :) , but when you have a significant other involved, you may need to compromise. I suspect your wife is like my wife (also a musician), she prefers speakers that are more natural sounding like... | |
| Set me straight, don't pull punches Mpdahl, are you happy with the new setup? If so, don’t read any further, if not consider my comments below. Also, it maybe too late to do anything so if that’s the case consider it nonsense reading :). What bothers me here is that you said that y... |
