| Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine Diana Krall live? Now your talking. Outstanding. | |
| Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine I don’t think you’re off on this. And everyone here asserts that processing happens everywhere...well hell. The “process” of recording -even in the most unhindered approach and using a single ribbon mic -itself creates a type of signature or artif... | |
| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound Don’t want to sound like a broken record (pun almost intended relative to this general forum!) but why not consider the surprisingly good RPi based Allo Digione (or Digione Signature)? It can stream most everything mentioned here, can be easily eq... | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? djones51 +1Backing up djones51, Allo Digione, Digione Signature or Volumio streamer are really outstanding for the price. Digione could use an aftermarket LPS. Not sure, but I think they sell their own as well? Have everything with the exception o... | |
| Upgrade integrated within the $600 - 1k Range @amp18Those Focals seem really great! Hindsight 20/20, I kind of wish I’d kept my NAD for comparison and a different sound, as it can really drive way above its purported wattage. Dynamic! Just promised I’d sell any major equipment redundancies. I... | |
| Upgrade integrated within the $600 - 1k Range @amp18Long time since this discussion! But I appreciate your asking. I ended up with that Creek Evolution 50A that I was considering at that time. Seller gave me a great deal on it, and it was absolutely pristine. I still have it and love it, and ... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? Not that it would directly pertain to your situation, but simply improving the jumper situation can have a noticeable improvement...or change, rather. I say this for perspective, as I would not conceive of going to the trouble of changing a crosso... | |
| Fyne Audio 302’s....anyone heard them or have them? @ranjan29That’s entirely encouraging...and does speak to their entire line I would think. Looks like you may be leaning toward those 502sp’s? :) | |
| Fyne Audio 302’s....anyone heard them or have them? @mulvelingHadn’t considered the trademark dual-concentric Tannoy driver design present in the higher levels...good point. I don’t know if I could justify the 502’s floorstanders from a budgetary standpoint. Too many things that must be done to our... | |
| Fyne Audio 302’s....anyone heard them or have them? Ranjan,Not at all, and thank you for responding! I really appreciate it. I would guess safe to ascertain that the 302’s might follow suit in that high-quality and performance for the price observation you’ve made.Very curious about your findings w... | |
| The Modern DAC killed High Resolution Music - has Stereophile proven it? Hi,Cheapo guy here...but even with a couple of stages of de-jitter, using an Allo Digione going to a Schiit Modi Uber, you can hear the difference between redbook and high res. But the red book sounds so good anyway, that your ears adjust to the d... | |
| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? Don’t know if anyone here has mentioned any of the variety of Denafrips r2r dacs, but I’m considering the Ares II. Many seem to share that it hits way above its class, provides both an nos and oversampling mode, and manages better detail and truen... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? What about a Musical Paradise?http://www.musicalparadise.ca/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=97It was reviewed to hit well above its class...Thomas and Stereo gave a fairly comprehensive review on one of these (actu... | |
| Crazy cheapo tweaks and impressive SQ hacking Exactly...there comes a point of diminishing returns. A very expensive setup will require an expensive room to elicit any and all benefits derived from said gear. It takes some experimentation, knowledge-seeking, love for the music, some understan... | |
| Crazy cheapo tweaks and impressive SQ hacking @twochAlthough I’m primarily operating through storage and playing CD’s, I was also looking into an internet switch to see what gains could also be made there, as I do stream a bit through the RPI Allo board.Is $400 really the cheapest way to go? ... |
