| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? Garbage in is Garbage out | |
| Hearing aid question I have mild hearing loss and tried the top of the line Phonak behind the ear receiver in canal hearing aids and did not like the tin can sound when listening to music. I settled for Resound but still don't listen to music with them. Streaming Bl... | |
| Small Green Computer - Sonic Transporter i9 (Gen 4) mini review I recently replaced and UltraRendu for an OpticalModule/Sig Rendu SE and agree it is very very easy to appreciate the benefits. I also use an Antipodes S20 DDC to change the USB out from the Sig Rendu SE to S/PDIF. | |
| New DAC issues @zlone Sonore has many products that convert input and output. They are single purpose. The UltraRendu converts Ethernet to USB. The SignatureRendu SE converts Fiber to USB. ThenOpticalModule converts Ethernet to Fiber. Sense recognizes t... | |
| New DAC issues @zlone Innuos has both USB and Ethernet outputs but not S/PDIF. I have found the Ethernet output to be superior from my Innuos Statement Nextgen. Using a relatively inexpensive Sonore UltraRendu to convert Ethernet to USB to feed my Lampizator G... | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs I agree it makes sense to streamline the music chain but my recent experience is different. From an Innuos Statement to LampizatOr Goldengate3 the direct USB with a FTA Sinope USB is way inferior to Innuos Ethernet > Sonore Opticalmodule >... | |
| 5 steps in developing hearing Interesting Level descriptions, to me they make sense. I think I just transitioned to level 4 after upgrading my Lampizator GoldenGate to GG3 with the new Engine11P, volume control and USB. The new USB requires a USB cable with a 5 volt leg. ... | |
| Back to the DAC USA It is my old work email, I am re tired. | |
| Back to the DAC @navyachts Tubeous nervosa is normal. Like a cold plunge it seems scary but once you do it you know the Why and it makes sense. Like you I have had a W4S 2.2 SE, it was better than a Yggdrasil but not better than a Terminator or Terminator P... | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? I've had a few R2R DACs Schitt and Denafrips and a few Delta Sigma W4S and Lampizator. I found the R2R vs Delta Sigma was less important than cost for sound quality. I preferred the more expensive W4s to the Schitt and the more expensive Lampiza... | |
| *DAC If you want nuance it starts with noise and jitter. stock cables won’t cut it. Blue jean cables won’t cut it. There are no cheap cables that perform as well as good cables. AV noise reduction is a must. Then some kind of grounding box. Then y... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz I completely disagree with Jay. But I like his wall of speakers. To my ears there is an obvious difference streaming thru an Innuos Nextgen Statement and the InnuOS Sense app. Qobuz is much closer to ripped files and is richer and more detaile... | |
| Desire to try tubes Check out the Decware CSP3. It is an excellent pre amp. It has gain adjustment for the input and output tubes allowing something Decware calls gain-riding. It changes the character (tubiness) without having to have a lot of tubes. I had one an... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? Have you had your hearing checked by an audiologist. I know I have hearing loss and have an appointment next week. Still I can readily hear differenced in DACs. I have found the more I invest in AC and electrical noise control the easier it is ... | |
| Getting 2 subs I have 2 REL subs, big difference with 2 vs 1. I also use their wireless connection, I love not having to run speaker cables to the far corners of the room. |
