| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @aniwolfe Yes, I've made sure to have RP on focus all the time. May be I should take another measurement. I had no idea that dipole/open baffle are such room friendly speakers. Goes to show that when you remove that box, how uncolored and less boo... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @grannyring Please share what are the ways 2170 can be improved. Mine goes to standby mode when there's no signal playing for some time. How do I prevent that?@kdude66 Interesting. What USB driver are you using that allows you to stream DSD 512? ... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @kdude66 You are wrong. According to manual, 2170 only accepts DSD up to 128. Now, after receiving my 2170, I can confirm that if I upsample anything over DSD 128, it doesn't play any music, nada.I'm not complaining though. The sound is sublime. ... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @kdude66 Roon actually do support HQP upsampling for quite some time now. I've been upsampling everything to DSD512 from my custom built music server using HQP and controlling that from Roon flawlessly for the past 2.5 years now. It sounds amazing... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. What bit rates are supported in roon streaming through 3400? Anyone knows whether 3400 can stream upsampled DSD through Roon? Roon has the capability to use HQPlayer to upsample DSD. It'd be super nice if that is supported. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @grannyring Given the 2170 is about 3 years old, do you think the digital to analog conversion of 2170 can be vastly improved? Given how this keeps improving every year, I'd be curious to know if 3400 has a difference compare to 2170 in terms of d... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. How good is the amplifier section of Lyngdorf? I wonder if it makes the most sense to use it as a dac/preamp and hook it up to a tube amp. Or is it shines the most when use it as a complete dac/preamp/amp package?Does anyone know what kind of clas... | |
| Line magnetic 508 with Tekton Double Impacts. Match Up @plga I use Allnic L3000 Mk2 with my LM 508. I know that doesn't answer your question as it's an all tube pre. However, Allnic is very neutral and balanced. It takes the LM to a new height (albeit transparency is reduced) allowing all the SET magi... | |
| Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1 @jglackenI've Allnic L3000 Mk2 preamp. It is an amazing preamp. The fact that you couldn't tell that an preamp was inserted into the chain, goes to show how good it is. It has the best bass and dynamics from any preamp I've heard including SS and ... | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K I'll give you few options. All of these high efficiency speakers I've lived with and has been highly satisfied.1) Daedalus Ulysses: So musical. So rich and yet detailed. Very easy to make them sing. Good for every genre.2) Daedalus Athena V.2: Sam... | |
| Swapping Wilson Watt Puppy 6’s for open baffle Pure Audio Project Trio15 Voxative's I'm moved from a traditional box dynamic speaker to PAP Voxativ and then to PAP Horn1. @douglas_schroeder review had a lot to do with my decision. Given he also owned Daedalus speakers which I'm a fan of and moved from, I had a good idea what to e... | |
| JAM by Duelund @audioman58 Extremely helpful feedback. My PAP Horn1 crossover came with 20.2 uf cap installed per channel. Here are the options you suggested so far:1. Clarity Cap CSA (15 uf) + Cactus Blue (2.2 uf) + Jupiter Copper (3.3)2. Jantzen Alumen Z cap ... | |
| JAM by Duelund Yes, I'm using the mundorf board. I believe the legs of the caps needs to be long in order to fit them on that board.Interesting that you mention Verestarr cable upgrade will be bigger than caps upgrade. I use duelund hookup wire (also western ele... | |
| JAM by Duelund Thank you both for the excellent suggestions!@grannyring I've heard that as good as mundorf silver, gold, oil is - it is little on the leaner side. That gives me pause. I've some Jantzen silver zcap 22uf. Last night I put them in and the sound bec... | |
| JAM by Duelund @grannyring @audioman58 I ask your expert advise on caps choice regarding my speaker crossover. I'm using pure audio Project Horn1 (not the Leonidas crossover)Crossover currently has 20uF cap installed. Jupiter copper or Arizona cactus doesn't hav... |
