Sorry to hear about your cats behavior.I have some experience with cat behaviors, it is common for cat owners to anthropomorphize reason(s) for cats behavior that they can relate to.Urinating outside the litter-box is either a medical condition ... | |
| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound @audionoobie 07-08-2020 4:51am If you are using Roon, try the Roon core with squeezelite option on the Innous. It is remarkably better than Roon core on the Innous. It may change your mind about which sounds better. | |
| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound A better streamer will make you DAC sound better. You can upgrade the DAC later. Source matters. | |
| Roon vs the world (streaming software) I was using iPeng and I agree the sound of Roon is substantially better. I have Roon on my Music Server. I wonder how much better it would sound if I moved it to a nucleus or similiar device. | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less I had a Yggy upgraded to Analog 2 with the USB Gen5 and also had the W4S DAC2DSDSE upgraded to 2v2 and vastly prefered the W4S. A W4S trade in can be had for $ 2000. I think it is a steal. I now have a Terminator and it way outperforms both. I... | |
| What does Roon do? I too am trying to figure out what Roon is or does. I activated it on my Innuos music server on Sunday and started the free trial. I was using iPeng to manage the server and play Tidal. I am not using the Roon DSP.With Roon music from either th... | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? I have Pass XA60.8 amps. I had the Schiit Freya, I think its a good $ 600 preamp and much better with the balanced connections but it was no where as musical as my Decware CPS3. The CSP3 is single ended and comes with a bit of hiss and humm. Wit... | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed! Laugh back....Get another electrician.It makes a difference. I had the electrician run 3 20 A circuits to Furutech outlets. The extra wire and time for 2 additional runs did not add much to the cost. I have a line for each amplifier and the 3rd... | |
| My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey I second the Magnepan 3.7i. with 2 subwoofers However they only sound as good as your power conditioning, gear and cables. Or consider an open baffle speaker. For me I tire of the box sound of box speakers under $12-15,000. | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? I thought I needed a lot of power for my Maggie 3.6's and had a 540 watt class D. The room would shake and it was fun to show off but no way to listen to music that loud for long. I have 60 watt Pass class A amps with powered subwoofers. Much ... | |
| Schiit just got real... I am looking to upgrade my Wyred4Sound MS1 music server to have a streamer also I have been eyeing the Innuos Zen or Zenith.I had the Yggy and upgraded it to the analog2 and USBGen5 and there was definitely an improvement. I recently bought a D... | |
| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers A bad speaker can sound Ok with great equiptment. A great speaker will not sound great with inferior equiptment. Give the speaker the best signal you can and then upgrade the speaker. Start farthest away from the speaker. Dedicated power line... | |
| PS Audio PowerPlant P20 better than pure direct AC I get during the night? I have a P10 and found it was not good to run my amps thru it. I use it for the digital components and by tweaking the settings it can be very beneficial. I have a Denali 6000s for the analog components and it is wonderful but still the amps are... | |

| General question about tube preamps and gain Following up on the reply from mganga,I have a Decware CSP3 tube pre amp. In addition to the standard volume attenuator there are adjustable pots for gain on both the input tube and on the output tubes. My understanding of these pots is for "gai... |
