| Streamer output options Correct about recent USB. Anyhow we should follow what each DAC manufacturer recommends as best input. | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS I’m in the same boat as the op. I have tried many options. Now I have TAD ME1 speakers, TAD C600 preamp, TAD M1000 amp, Lampi Baltic 4. Shunyata delta hydra 6 conditioner, Skogrand Tchaikovsky cables. I will demo Dutch and Dutch active speakers an... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? Don’t forget how you isolate them from resonance and vibrations. | |
| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse I own a pair of Avalon Idea and their are terrific. Wide and deep soundstage. Musical and well balanced tone-wise. Great sound in a rather small footprint. They also look fantastic and built in a way that is not so common anymore. They look like h... | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? Roon optimised rock kit NUC latest version. Solid and smooth in operation. Add a Farad Super 3 and don’t think about that bit of the chain anymore. | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? 30% excluding power conditioning and power supply. Skogrand, Shunyata, Albedo. | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp Second hand Vitus SS101 and vayas con Dios. | |

| Anyone else having trouble with Roon? Whatever issues I may have with roon in the future I would never go back to play Qobuz through their dreaded interface and tunes pick. And Muse is fantastic. | |
| Speakers for low-level listening TAD ME1 with roon equaliser or Loki max. | |
| Will one cable upgrade make a noticeable difference? I think you have good chance to hear a significant difference since you would have more brand synergy. The question is would you like the difference in the sound. I always take the risk and try myself. We can resell if not as hoped. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? In my experience it’s all about system dependency. Personally I have found a significant positive difference with Aurender N20 and Grimm. Several others didn’t make an impact to justify the additional price vs my NUC i7. Even if the Aurender and G... | |
| Advice for headphone amp and dac Mojo2 will do perfectly. I suggest avoiding the Poly streamer. It’s a nightmare losing connection and needed to be reconfigured often if used with a phone. Less problems with computers. Mojo2 has also an excellent EQ. | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? Lampizator or Merason DAC1 second hand even if not R2R. | |
| Help Select an True Bookshelf Speaker Genelec all the way. BBC speakers will always need a plinth to perform decently. If you want to go passive then Graham or Harbeth in their smallest configuration. Accepting the lack of performance if no plinth applied. Anti vibration can partially... |
