| Schiit Freya damage by giving it an electric static discharge on the volume knob. I also shock myself on my rack before touching any equipment, but I am in a listening room in the basement, my system is not available to neuro-typical humans. I too live in a dry, cold environment with much static electricity. I'm seriously looki... | |
| Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again. You mentioned ListenUp, which likely places you in either NM or CO I expect, greetings from yet another Rocky-Mountain-based long-time lurker and seldom post-r. Lets hope RMAF happens this year! | |
| Gungnir Unison USB upgrade I just got done auditioning one. I couldn't get the USB installer to recognize my Windows 10 laptop in my listening room, so never got the Schiit drivers installed. The Schiit customer service was anything but, they were very responsive and helpfu... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for KEFLS50's or Bowers & Wilkins 706 S2's Hi, yes my friend is, unfortunately, trapped in the iOS environment for all his media. Pretty sure he's happy with the air play performance, otherwise I would have heard about it. I can ask him tho. | |
| Integrated Amplifier for KEFLS50's or Bowers & Wilkins 706 S2's My college roommate, whom I've known for over 25 years, and who introduced me to this rabbit hole of a hobby, went to RMAF with me a few years ago and heard the LS50s for the first time. We were both really impressed. He recently re-entered the ho... | |
| Bi-amping my Quad 22L2 towers Ok, glad I asked. Thanks for letting me know, obviously tube amps are a new thing for me. | |
| Bi-amping my Quad 22L2 towers Thanks Al! Good to know I won't blow anything up...I will probably wind up comparing the passive bi-amp condition to simply running the quads off of the variable outputs of the Jolida and using it as a tube pre. | |
| What is the best usb convertor Audiophilio 1 or 2Anedio U2Jkenny Ciunas converterEmprirical Audio OfframpAll of the above are my current dream team | |
| Are Mac and PC equal? There are +/-'s to using both. I suggest going with the platform with which you are most familiar, you can get great sound with either OS. Plug-ins and multiple software are available on both platforms to get great sound. I have seen both platform... | |
| would I be better off... When I did have a CD changer, I'd connect it to the Digital LInk III via optical cable. I had a nice affordable glass toslink cable that I used for this. But considering everything I did on the computer side; DBPowerAmp for ripping, JRiver for pla... | |
| would I be better off... The digital link iii is a good DAC, but with a bad USB implementation. I'm assuming you'll use USB to get the signal to the dac, not a spinner. I use a usb converter with my DLIII.I'd recommend JRiver for music playback on your laptop. If you're g... | |
| would I be better off... The under-$400 DACs currently listed on this site that I'd buy are: Benchmark dac1Micromega MyDACParamount z dacBut if you buy a dac, you gotta buy cables...and If you have a lot of high-res music, not all dacs can play all formats.Planning on usi... | |
| Best Speakers For Electronica Music I run a 2.1 system, and speakers that are voiced for jazz and classical do well with electronic music because they can draw out the little details. My sub handles the subtle sub-bass that adds texture to the mids, this is something you miss with s... | |
| USB SQ, what can one expect Um. I use the DH Labs Mirage USB cable. Beat the Wireworld platinum IMHO. | |
| Help with speaker cable under $500 for new system AntiCables has an in-home trial. I did the Cable Company Audition, which was too much fun BTW, and the ACs beat Audioquest Rocket 44s, which were more expensive. Wound up spending my credit at Cable Company on a USB cable, so it didn't go to waste... |
