| The Mars Volta. New Album. Hardest album for me to get was Radiohead’s Kid A. But you have to understand that the world was waiting for them to save rock and roll from the likes of N’Sync and Brittney Spears at the time, and then Radiohead turned around and released….that.... | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? I’ve heard that quite frequently, that M Scaler works well with TT2 and nearly everyone likes this pairing but with Dave the opinions are mixed on whether M Scaler helps or not. | |
| Innuos Statement vs Zenith Mk3 + PhoenixUSB @gdnrbob one more thing - since you have a premium DAC with your Zenith, it’s quite possible that the PhoenixUSB may not make as much of a difference. DACs if that caliber may be more resilient to incoming jitter, and possibly noise as well. It wo... | |
| Innuos Statement vs Zenith Mk3 + PhoenixUSB @gdnrbob, the Statement was originally not on my radar for the reasons you described. It’s a lot of money for not a lot of improvement (over Zenith Mk3 + PhoenixUSB). I was hoping in this thread to get a bit more anecdotal comments on this differe... | |
| Innuos Statement vs Zenith Mk3 + PhoenixUSB @mahughes yep that makes sense. Pretty certain at this point I’m not chasing any issues in components or cabling (after many years of doing so…).. | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? @tom23 you’re right, Holo May probably belongs in the category, as far as DACs go. Also don’t have experience at that level for DACs though. | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB cabling @lollipopguild yeah that’s what I meant by HiFi not being about common sense - I too would have expected the shorter USB cable to sound best. After doing some digging the most common explanation circulating is that two way digital signals have two... | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? @tom23 , you are right - maybe Chord Dave and M Scaler don’t fall into this grouping. What DACs in the range of Dave have overwhelming praise from the community, and hardly any that don’t like it? Maybe there aren’t any? | |
| The Mars Volta. New Album. No, not really. It's more like Arctic Monkeys doing the Chipmunks Biggest Hits. But it's great... I noticed in the rare instances he sings in his low register, his voice is sublime, but also sounds a lot like Arctic Monkey's singer. Gets disti... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB cabling It could be system/cable dependent. I wouldn’t question the experience that AB reviewer had. Your experience was different. Here’s what I found with my Phoenix: When I put two Audioquest Diamonds in the system I noticed I big drop in sound qualit... | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? Just saw the YouTube of the Innuos demo of the Uber expensive Statement Gen 2 server/streamer. Can easily hear the difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2 in the video. Sounds amazing. But the part relevant to this thread: Innuos chose the Diablo 300 ... | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? @lollipopguild , too funny. Just remembered I also knew a guy who was in construction with the last name Swinghammer. | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? @herman, thanks for sharing your experiences. Yes I agree the jitter control and upsampling benefits can be solved in high end DACs instead of using these sorts of boxes. But, money. I need more of it to get a DAC of that caliber, premium power co... | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? @lollipopguild , yep probably right. And what about these: Jim Beverage: Master Blender at Jonnie Walker Doug Bowser: The Boss of Nintendo. (Bowser is the evil boss in Super Mario Brothers). | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? @dvddesigner , thanks, and don’t mean to pick on you but I’ve set the bar higher than some of these brands (I’m not saying they are not great brands). It’s pretty easy to find examples online of those who dislike McIntosh and Wilson (I for one rea... |
