| BS meter is pegged! Erik-you have been able to assign apps to kernels for decades, this is not new. Also, how do you know if Roon or audirvana don’t do this same thing? It could but the developer needs to be sure the kernel version will work. I disagree with you on ... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles No matter if you are an old fart or a family driving a minivan (who would drive such a thing) or own any type of car, looks are a big part of the purchase. I own expensive sports cars and there are ugly sports cars for hundreds of thousands/millio... | |
| BS meter is pegged! Ktown- ps audio does fpga instead of using a typical dac chip, not the cpu, 2 different chips/processors. Normally, manufacturers or users of computers/streamers/servers use an Intel/Apple arm/AMD CPU’s to build their boxes using Linux/osx/window... | |
| Where do I go from here? Your Macintosh c47 is better than the NAD, keep it, I had the c47. I didn’t use the built in dac because my external dac cost 2x more Than the preamp but I did use the built in phono. When I got rid of my tt/albums I sold the preamp. A better pre... | |
| Ethernet I tried a blue jeans cable to compare it to my $1000 cable and I sent the blue jeans back once it got broken in (100 hours). I’m sure it would be a step up to cheap/free cables but lifeless/dull sounding compared to better cables. When you get an... | |
| What would you save in a fire? I used to live in sh1thole California until our house was destroyed in the 1977 sycamore canyon fire, 230 hoes burned down because of the Santa Ana winds. We had the same issues like no management of growth in the hills and when fire trucks were ... | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... The post from avsjerry needs to be taken down because it’s false info (actually lies) and it’s not valid for this thread. You can still get great sounding gear, even some of the best gear at reasonable prices. Usher speakers have always competed ... | |
| Weak link Deep333- I’ve used subs on and off for 30 years. Used rel subs on and off for over 20+ years. The most benefit I got is in a small room (12 x 11) and in very large rooms (27 x 16’). And of course HT in a theater room. The best systems I’ve had di... | |
| Weak link Your room is the most important component of your system. If it’s not treated, you will be fighting to get th best out of your other components. You didn’t say what you didn’t like about the sound you are getting. If you don’t like the bass, room... | |
| No God No! Say it Ain’t So! McIntosh makes nice products, maybe Bose wants McIntosh to help them get better. Most people don’t realize that high end audio is an expensive niche hobby. The sell maybe a few hundred a year compared to lower level products that sell thousands. ... | |
| DSD coming to Qobuz streaming? SQ pecking order: DSD, then MQA, then hi res, then cd quality. But it also depends on the mastering process. | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Make some suggestions that might help the sq like setup changes, room treatment, etc. But if you know that the speaker/amp combo will never work (for example a cool sounding amp with analytic sounding speakers or warm sounding speakers with a warm... | |
| DAC connection to computer Travelinjack-I agree with you but some of the other posters are way off base. My server running Roon will never be hooked up to a dac. When I was using this Mac straight into the dac, the server was in another room and I used Ethernet to the dac.... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Why? I have friends that had the 3.7’s and the 20.7’s and they don’t anymore. I never liked the sound. Lean bass and these friends tried to get subwoofers to work with them with no luck. They filled their respective rooms which is probably the bes... | |
| Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What? Wrong again. More and more of your better dacs don’t use usb and more and more are adding i2s and Ethernet. USB is flawed, never meant to provide good sq. I did all of that 10 years ago or more with usb dacs and all the gimmicky reclockers, femto ... |
