| What is your favorite budget streamer? I think the Icon looks awesome. After owning my Vault I would buy one sight unseen and that's something I rarely do. Bluesound are the best streamers under $1k. You are really buying into a platform that is copied by an entire industry. Lenbro... | |
| Favorite mid-tier streamer The Aurender A1000 is a much better value than anything Eversolo will ever produce. Ever pick up an Aurender? They are built like tanks. Anyone spending $3700 on an Eversolo has really fallen for the hype. Wait until their hack FW has le... | |
| Dirac without losing resolution I believe the RME DACs are limited in sampling rates when using it's DSP functionality for EQ and other features ,. There is just not enough processing power to process the incoming data and perform DSP. These limits start at 384k and higher.... | |
| Favorite mid-tier streamer I would recommend checking out the Node Icon before spending big on Eversolo. Their support is weak compared to Bluesound, Innuos, Aurender. Each firmware shows how poor they are at Beta testing. End user is their Beta. I thought Eversolo was ... | |
| Reasonably priced preamplifier Used Zesto Leto Ultra II. Exceptional sounding preamp. | |
| Streamer recommendations I really like Aurender. I went from a Bluesound to Aurender and in a good system it is definitely worth the expense. Build quality is over the top and support has been great the few times I've need it. 'm still enjoying the Vault in a seco... | |
| Which of my components has the better built in DAC? My Dad has a MA8950 with the DA2 DAC and it really is a great sounding DAC module. I think you would have to spend $$$ to better it. It's that good. Coax is usually better than Tos because the quality of optical depends on the Tos jacks on t... | |
| CD Transport I have spent some time listening to my Teac 701t this week as I had a few days off. This machine sounds incredible, best component I have purchased in a long time. This player has me reaching for my favorite discs rather than streaming them. ... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports Enjoy! | |

| What is your favorite budget streamer? Bluesound Nano. You can not do better for the money . $299 | |
| Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update Yes he did. I watched an interview with him and thought how sad to let a hobby completely overtake your life. I love this hobby but it has always taken a back seat to what's really important. Family. | |
| Aurender Model Choices Using N200 with a new Samsung Tab and on my iPhone 12 with no issues. I was using an earlier Samsung Tab but it wouldn’t run Conductor 4. It still runs 3 fine. I have had really good luck with Aurender. It’s been stable and the few times ... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Eversolo , way over rated. They are releasing a $3700 streamer , good luck to anyone that buys it. They can't even correct FW on their first player. Way over hyped . | |
| Physical degradation of CD's I have lots of titles from 1983 - 90 that still play fine. I have never experienced a CD that wouldn't play, unless it had obvious damage. All of my discs look new, I never used them in cars or portables so I think that has a lot to do with my ... |
