| 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! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? The Jam Sound Affects | |
| 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 ... | |
| Denafrips reclockers vs empirical audio offramp 5 https://www.mutec-net.com/product_mc-3-plus-usb.php Another cool feature is that is can accept DSD up to 256 and convert to PCM to allow DSD playback with a R2R DAC or DAC limited to 24/192 | |
| Qobuz and Tidal comparison I have both Tidal and Qobuz running on my Aurender N200 and Vault 2i in sys 2. They both sound excellent but I have to give the edge to Qobuz. Tidal has some great live recordings which is why I keep it. | |
| about ready to dive in to streaming... PS Audio AirLens vs Aurender N10? I love my N200. It's been great. | |
| Denafrips reclockers vs empirical audio offramp 5 I picked up the Mutec MC3+USB, it works really well. It can take USB and output via consumer SPDIF, ,BNC, AES/ EBU, and Toslink simultaneously. It can also take those inputs and output via USB. It reclocks internally and can also reclock ... | |
| about ready to dive in to streaming... PS Audio AirLens vs Aurender N10? I think the Aurenders can do a lot more than AirLens. You can only do Tidal and Qobuz through Roon on the AirLens which would be a no go for me. The N10 is a full featured streamer that has native Tidal and Qobuz apps built in. It also has i... | |
| The Great DAC Mystery As Nonoise stated , some of the best DACs reside in an amplifier. My Cyrus i7XR has a great sounding DAC built in. I love that amp, very easy to listen to for a long time. | |
| The Great DAC Mystery I listened to several DACs between $1500 and $5500 /$6k and left with the LAB 12 DAC1 Ref. To me it was exactly what I was looking for. It was a little more than my budget but I wanted to avoid a lateral move from my RME. That's not to say... |
