| Improving streaming SQ Have a look at Network Acoustics ENO. An Ethernet RF filter. I’ve heard it as I make it, and it really transforms streaming. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Have a look at Jern. Cheaper than you are expecting to pay, but very good indeed. Danish, made from one piece of cast Iron. No colouration at all. | |
| Recommendations for fast sounding cables I’m using Audio Envy. Does everything I want. Very open, fast attack. | |
| Streaming: WiFi or wired?? In my experience, wired has always sounded better, except for one product, the Auralic Aries Mini. There is however a fundamental flaw with wired Ethernet, it acts like a long aerial that, in addition to passing your data, picks up RFI/EMI from yo... | |
| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. And now for something completely different... Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 does it all, and sounds just ‘right’ | |
| Another streaming newbie My best value streaming setup, and I’ve done streaming since the first Squeezebox came out, is the Allo USBridge Signature, running Moode OS, using BubbleUPNP on a cheap Lenovo tablet to control it, then into an Audio-gd R1 ladder DAC via a Shunya... | |
| My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey Russell K or Jern 14EH with decent subwoofers. | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport I have a Lyngdorf TDAI 3400. I have an Allo USBridge Signature, streaming from local file storage and Quobuz, connected to the USB input. I have a Lyngdorf CD2 connected to a Coax Digital input. I can also stream directly to the Lyngdorf via Bubbl... | |
| Audiophile LAN cables I have done extensive research on this and developed a filter to greatly reduce the problem, which is our old friend ‘RFI’.Ethernet cables are great aerials to channel RFI straight into the back end of your streamer. An expensive screened cable ca... | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips The best cheaper DAC I’ve heard is the Audio-GD R2R 2 Ladder DAC in NOS mode. I can’t recommend high enough | |
| Do I need a sub? I use a Lyngdorf amp to run RoomPerfect room correction. It perfectly integrates the sub to the mains, 4th order LR filters at around 75Hz. Nice. | |
| Higher End DACs Audio-Gd R7 NOS Ladder DAC. Relatively cheap, use the HDMI I2S input from suitable streamer. Sounds very analogue and very good. | |
| Which combination of components (Streamer, DAC, Preamp, Amp, etc.) are most future-proof? Hello, I think the perfect solution for you is the Lyngdorf TDAI 3400. It is a streamer, a DAC, a multi-input preamp, a power amp, it sounds fantastic AND it has room correction software built in that will optimise the performance of your loudspea... | |
| Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2 How about this...https://www.magnahifi.com/en/webshop/product/mano-ultraI have one of these using Volumio to control it with the Quobuz plugin. It only has Coax out for general use, but it also has I2S via HDMI to connect to an Audio-Gd DAC, I hav... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Harbeth Compact7-Es 40th anniversary are superb with subs, likewise the Quad 2912 will inthrall. Good luck on your quest. |
