| The review wehave been promising is up Audiotroy is no different than a tas or stereophile reviewer. Have you ever read a post from audiotroy on a product they sell or a review from tas/stereophile that wasn’t the best product ever made? I gave up on the trade mags for this very reason... | |
| The review wehave been promising is up Let me guess, audiotroy must be selling this thing, am I correct? | |
| Point of diminishing returns for a Network Streamers? If you are using usb to any dac, you will have inferior sq. what is a streamer? A computer running a proprietary OS usually running on hardware with gimmick technology to promote a higher price. Keep any server out of your audio room and use a b... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Have the CD player try to access music from tidal or Qobuz. I’ve been streaming for over 15 years, got rid of my $3000 Classe CD player 14 years ago, and still have a Sony SACD player that hasn’t played a disc in 10 years. I have tried all differ... | |
| Ridiculous sale The op must have purchased a new car that was in demand. The 2000 Honda S2000 was asking $10k over msrp and sold every one. The Enzo, I had a friend that was getting offers $300k over what he paid for his because only a certain number of cars were... | |
| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? I tied a lot of these tweaks/gimmicks trying to get usb to sound good years ago and each tweak/gimmick was like putting lipstick on a pig. Got rid of the usb dac and went with a better dac with i2s and Ethernet inputs | |
| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! USB sucks. Of course you will have dealers recommending usb because they want to sell you a number of tweaks/gimmicks to try to improve usb. Ethernet/fiber/network or i2s aware best if your dac supports them but only the better dacs supports thes... | |
| Almost equality I sold my $14k turntable setup and almost 500 albums over 3 years ago when my digital system surpassed vinyl. Will never go back to vinyl | |

| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers ROFL from bache's post. How about a used pair of Wilson Maxx or Alexia, or new Revel Salon 2/Studio 2, Usher BE-10/BE-20/TD-10/TD-20? | |
| Scam Alert It’s not only PayPal. I’ve had these emails from apple, sams club, and others. You never want to call the number in the email. If you want to check, call the number from their website and ask them or check the status of your account from their web... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Eugene81-every audio piece that I have owned or have heard the combined multiple components in them like a dac or phono stage have always been a compromise. It seems the manufacturers think giving you 75% of the sound quality of their best standal... | |
| The Law of Accelerating Returns I agree with jerryg123. If you get 1 very good component and the rest are low fi, the system will only sound as good as the weakest component. I'm not saying that you have to spend $10k on every component, but if you get 1 very nice component, you... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. Your room and listening location are your limitations. You state you have a large room but in your picture, your seating location is very close to the speakers. Also, your speakers are going to be setup close to the wall so you will need to adjust... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I tried doing that a few years ago. Went with highly regarded integrateds at the time and they sounded very good until I needed more power for bigger speakers, then I went back to separates. What I found out with integrated amps (and this comes f... |
