| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Bye bye - what grotesque pleasure I got out of joining this bankrupt thread has waned. Now back to a word from our sponsor... | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. Interesting. I would still prefer the Squeezebox. My server computer is in the basement, running full-time. I never need to go down there because I manage it remotely using VNC from another computer when required. I don't want a computer running i... | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. For what its worth, my Squeezebox, with 25 metres of ethernet cable, through a router down to my computer in the basement is outperforming my now run-in TEAC VRDS transport, except for slightly better extension at the extremes from the TEAC. The S... | |
| What digital evolution? Squeezebox, from slimdevices is not far off in one sense. An MP3 Jukebox is not far off in another. Similarly Media PCs. Moore's Law and FTTH (fibre to the home) will solve the technology gap. The question will be around how a new music/movies car... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Well said Ohlala. However Sistrum's goons will now come in with a barrage of 'don't knock what you haven't tried', and 'I tried it (against an unstated control, which could have been dog turd) and liked it', to simply skew the discussion back to t... | |
| What digital evolution? Skushino, I didn't intend to attack your opinion. I guess I would point you to some of the minimalist DACs around that eschew most of the so-called advances in DACs - ones with no over sampling or up sampling or with no digital filter, which by be... | |
| Aaaugh Please recommend a DVD player The Philips, for sure - great value at everything it does, and it does most things. I wouldn't bother with any Pioneer if video is your priority. | |
| Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler? I would try and get hold of a Northstar Model 192. The A3 24 is a bit flat and dull unless the one I heard was a bad 'un. I thought the Northstar was far more musical, but I cannot guarantee you will agree. One nice feature is that at a later date... | |
| What digital evolution? I don't think the parallel with Moore's Law is terribly relevant, but if you think it is, then ask yourself whether people are much happier with their computers these days because of chip speeds. I would suggest not much more than people are happi... | |
| Standing vs. Seated-Big Difference in Bass??? Bass Note waves are very long and so nodes and anti nodes are created that mean the bass is diminished or absent in certain spots or enhanced or even doubled in others. You seem to be seated in an anti-node point. Standing up fixes it, but other p... | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. That fits with my understanding of the issue, I think. Jitter can occur at any point in the chain but can be put back in its right place by clocking it right - which is the purpose of the Big Ben (I want one!), but of course jitter in the recordin... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Just out of interest Bevan, what other cones, spikes, rollerblocks, platforms did you try the Audiopoints against in coming to your conclusion? Or are you saying they are an improvement over nothing. Being in NZ too I am interested in where you mi... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Oh my... | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. I found the hardwired connection to be better than the WiFi - it sounded like less jitter | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. Finally put a decent DAC on the Squeezebox, a Northstar Model 192 DAC. I am thinking of perhaps putting a MSB Network card in the Squeezebox next. The MSB netwok card upsamples and reclocks inside the transport and then has an I2S output via RJ45 ... |
