| Router for Audio Streaming + 1 @soix Makes a great point. I was streaming wifi with good reception from an rpi based Mercury streamer. Tried a fairly cheap TP link extender (set to client during setup) with Ethernet cable and noticed a serious improvement. And the wifi on... | |
| CD Transport Question I’m in a similar situation. Have you taken a look at any of the Cayin cd player options? Great builds and designs with a comparably great value proposition. Also, NuPrime has some great players and transports that can be found within the 1k-2k ran... | |
| Anyone using 2 preamps in their rig? You know…I was wondering about this very idea. But with a good solid state and an equivalent in quality tube preamp. I’ve been jonesing to get an SPL Elector, but also see some very nice tube pre’s I’d also like to own. Would be a fairly simple pr... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @jerryg123 Wow, hadn’t seen this 6moons article! Very cool, thank you 🙏🏼 They really are making some nice stuff. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @jerryg123 I had been confused about it initially, as GoldNote does not clearly specify what’s actually going on with the PA10’s internals. But learned this from a HiFiPig review (as quoted): ‘I’m a massive advocate of Class D technology when i... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Someday would love to try a set of these! But got to say, pretty solidly in love with my current GoldNote PA-10 (class A into GaN power stage). But truth and proof in class D from here on out. | |
| Walk me thru upgrading from my BS Node +1 to the HifiRose or Lumin recommendations. Also +1 using an extender and cable. I don’t own one, but so many “fawn” over them (as you so aptly described). But serious, excellent sq and UI. I’m personally using a rpi based streamer by Pi2design. ... | |
| Streamer Upgrade I’m now on a Mercury streamer by Pi2design. I mean, I’ve already mentioned it way to much here, but it just keeps blowing my mind. It’s based on a raspberry pi 4, but with some extremely high end clocks, a well built-out/extended board, and some ... | |
| Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review? All this nefarious practice aside…are Tellurium cables actually good? Has anyone here actually tried them (I’ll read back to see if I’ve missed someone who has)? Diluted truth tainting what is actually a good product, or is it just another case of... | |
| B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one) Would highly recommend the excellent new Zen Stream. Or if you’re willing to use an rpi based unit with upnp/variable software then the new Mercury streamer by Pi2design (well I believe) will blow away the node 2i in sq. | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience @soix Thats it..I think you’ve hit it on the head. That’s been my concern with moving to a Denafrips in the comparable range of offerings (at least with the way my system is going). However or whatever it is that renders a more subdued high freque... | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience Congrats on your setup! I’ve heard the zen stream, sounds really great. Personally considering the Pegasus as my next dac purchase, and your relating your experience with it is confirming what I’ve read. I almost got a zen stream, but instead went... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? I’ve also been getting to the point of wanting a decent r2r dac to replace my d70s - which itself is no slouch! But am wanting that special something a true ladder dac can bring. Don’t know if anyone here already mentioned the new Ladder Schumann ... | |
| A world class volume control for pennies on the dollar @teajay Knowing you’ve used the Elector with both tube and SS amps to great results is very good news to me. I’ve been searching for more reviews of the SPL Elector and haven’t seen a great deal. But have been assuming it’s excellent just the same... | |
| The greatest tweak ever? So… In essence, one would also be led to consider that added particles of one medium or another might actually “color” the sound in some interesting ways? Maybe in the manner that tube rolling can render some major differences in stage and tonali... |
