| To Roon or not to Roon If you use both tidal and qobuz, like I do, then roon is genius. No Spotify, though, which means you can't use it anymore, or at least I don't think so. | |
| Upgrade DAC recommendation Check out reviews of holo audio may dac. I'm very happy with mine, but I'm not the only one. | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC It just so happens that stereophile has recently highly recommended two r2r DACs, the denadrips terminator and the holo audio may. If you read herb reichert column a few months ago on the may dac, he acknowledged that stereophile had not done r2r ... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? Yeah, there's been some good humor vibes in this thread. | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC Well, OP, I just went from chord qutest to holo audio may (r2r). It’s a non oversampling dac, although it does oversample too if you want that. Wow, what an upgrade! Slightly less crisp, but warm, smooth, natural, wonderful deep rich soundstage. T... | |
| Amp matching for Klipsch Forte III Klipsch Forte IIIs were my first high-end speaker and I played with low-wattage SET amps mostly. They were so much fun and so revealing! It seemed I could drive the Forte IIIs with the wattage generated by a lit match! I noticed pretty quickly,... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? So many interesting suggestions! Thanks all. And feel free to keep them coming...@highend666 - thanks for the link, although completely impossible in my listening space@stringreen - details of your carbon fiber outlet please?@sjsfiveo - yes, cou... | |
| Subwoofers down-firing or side-firing? Why? There are so many variables involved, seems like whether driver faces down or sideways is not the major factor... | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? @hilde45 Too expensive! | |
| Your most indispensable "tweak"? @68pete what did these do for your system?@needfreestuff I finally dialed in my sub to a crossover and gain level that opened things up so much. Not an easy task. | |
| Subwoofers down-firing or side-firing? Why? @melvinjamesYes, loving my deephemp 10 so far. Maybe it's downfiring to get the most bass out of the smallest cabinet, according to RELs logic. | |
| Did any Amp help you understand lyrics better? @terry9 When I heard obscure passages a little less obscurely, I did more of the same, and my system kept improving. So interesting to hear that process. What makes the most difference there? | |
| Omega 3xrs Will hook them up in parallel to the speakers (directly from the speaker terminals on the speakers) into the speaker-level inputs on the sub. Pass Labs xa30.8. | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Raspberry pi 4 with hifiberry digi pro streamer. $60 or so roon endpoint with optical and coax out. Cannot beat it for the price. | |
| Best options for active speakers $4k or below? Thanks for so many great recommendations. Had no idea there were this many options. Dynaudio and Elac are most appealing right now. Gold phantoms just too expensive. |
