| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? When I had a W4S MS1 Music Server I used their USB decrapifier and it helped but not as much as the ISORegen. I also found using 2 ISORegens back go back being even better. Sold the MS and bought an Innuos Statement and sold the W4S and ISORegen... | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections I had a Schitt Freya and I thought it was noisy in the sense of distortion. I have since moved on and up to Allnic. I started with the L-3000 then moved up to a L-7000 with constant impedance attenuator and recently sold that for a L-8000 and hav... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement @ditusa Great reference, much appreciated. I ran 3 dedicated lines a few years ago. They are probably 12 g. I haven't patched the drywall yet as I have had a lingering doubt I did it right. My electrician did not have heavier wire and he strugg... | |
| VAC Renaissance Signature Mk V versus Allnic L-7000? I started with a used L-3000 and had no urge to change until a deal came up to sell/trade a Denafrips Terminator and cash for a L-7000. Wow, didn't know what I was missing, just better in every way and both were holographic. Reading the reviews ... | |
| After the thrill is gone Oops hit the enter. Referring to the Mangepan 1.7i vs 3.7i's. | |
| After the thrill is gone If your electronics and noise control are good you should easily hear the difference in the top end. Smoother and more refined and overall a little more relaxed midrange. | |
| After the thrill is gone I have Maggie 3.7i's. I have a pair of REL S/510 SHO subs. Last week one of the subs lost power and even though I had one sub working the change was dramatic. The midrange was hard and the upper range was rolled off. I hardly noticed the drop... | |
| Analog vs. digital For me the difference is listening to music vs listening to my system. But I easily have 5X more invested in digital and spend most of my time listening to digital. I just hate listening to the last track on a a record knowing I have to get up w... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES @jeffseight I was lucky that Sense came out just before my Roon subscription was set to renew. I had no reservation choosing Sense's improved SQ over Roon's vast library and search functions. And yes Qobuz is better than Tidal by enough I canc... | |
| Innuos 2.1.0 upgrade Ok I was hearing it differently, one of my subs lost power coincidently with the upgrade. I don't appreciate any change now. | |
| Innuos 2.1.0 upgrade If there is no difference in sound quality then I am hearing it differently. | |
| Should I add a DDC? Looking for experienced advise please. I slipped an Iris between a Statement and Terminator Plus and even though the USB on the Statement is highly touted, converting to I2S was better even without using the clock out from the TP. Quality HDMI cable will make a difference. | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? I have 3 switches and each brought an improvement I found fiber sullied the sound but I think I used copper on my etherregen at the same time so maybe that was the issue I found using a Mutec external clock on the Etherregen and SOTM switches m... | |
| Volume Control Too Sensitive I have/had the same problem with Allnic 8000DHT pre and Pass XA60.8 amps. I was able to change out a set of the DHT tubes for lower gain tubes. Interestingly I recently added a pair of Akiko Corelli's for noise and can increase the volume a few... | |
| Quest for an external Dac has resulted in me way down the rabbit hole I have a Denafrips Terminator Plus and it is amazing. Before that I had a Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 DSD SE and an upgraded Schitt Yggdrasil. The W4S was much better with more meat that the Yggrrasil. You can pick one up for less than 1000. https://... |
