| Ready to move onto next stage of streaming Room Perfect is a game changer, plus the DAC in the 2170 is far superior to that in the H160. IMHO.If you're going to keep the 2170 for long term, maybe best to stay with the Bluesound. But, If you're keen on upgrading your streamer, I would not... | |
| Ready to move onto next stage of streaming My guess is that the Mytek would produce similar results regarding MQA as the Aries Mini. Although the Mytek is a much better DAC, but you would need to pair the Mytek with a different amp unfortunately. | |
| Ready to move onto next stage of streaming Uberwaltz,The 2170 will read the correct incoming sample rate, so if you click "info" on a 24/192 (MQA) is will indeed say 24/192, but the 2170 will then resample the MQA to PWM (24/96) before the final output, as it does with any incoming signal.... | |
| Ready to move onto next stage of streaming I think as long as you’re using the Lyngdorf, you need not worry about MQA. It’s not possible to play full MQA with the 2170 in the chain anyways, as it will always convert/resample all sources feeding it.That was the main reason I reluctantly par... | |
| Ready to move onto next stage of streaming I can vouch for Mytek. I’ve used the Brooklyn DAC+ and it’s sound is spectacular. Especially with MQA.Equally as good as the Lyngdorf, with maybe a slight edge for the better. But, once I bought the Lyngdorf, there was no need for a second DAC.Alw... | |
| Ready to move onto next stage of streaming Uber,What are you using to control the Vault? Tablet, phone?I'm using an Auralic Aries w/ Femto clock, and control it with my iPad via Roon. Auralic has it's own app, Lightning DS which I only use for setup, which I believe you can only do via a... | |
| Moving from MM to MC Ortofon 2M Bronze. Using one now on my Technics SL1210GR, $440 new. Sounds is stunning. Stylus is replaceable, and you can upgrade to the 2M Black stylus later on down the road.Very easy to install, and only needs appoz. 20 hours of play until it ... | |
| Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage? Uberwaltz,Very cool. The Art 9 is on a lot of people's radar, mine included. Should mate well with my Technics from what I hear, and I know you'll keep us updated on how it works with the PH-10.It's next on my list of carts to try.Best,Robert | |
| Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage? Uberwaltz,Just wanted to give you a quick update: The Lyngdorf is gone, and now I'm using a MicroMega M100. No more A/D conversion for my analog device, which is of course the PH-10.I had a minor WOW moment right off the bat playing vinyl. I al... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. I've been using an Audioquest Carbon USB for the past 6 months or so. The other two I've tried were a Panges SE and AQ Cinnamon. I thought they sounded great, until I introduced the Carbon.The Carbon has a smoother/sharper sound, and fuller bass... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Thanks @kdude66 @mofojo | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @mofojo I’ve had the M100 only a few days, but I was able to do some A/B testing with the Lyngdorf.The M100 is a class A/B amp, with no digital conversion on it’s analog inputs, and a traditional DAC built in. Different beasts altogether.The M100 ... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @mofojo I originally wanted to try the 3400, but even after selling the 2170 I'm not even close to being able to afford one.I could have sold off some speakers, but I decided to take the opportunity to try something I've had my eye on for a while.... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. I have also had communication problems with HiFi, but only as much as delays. Not a huge deal, but 2 days in response times can be very frustrating. Especially when you’re eager to purchase new gear.I will say that their trade-in policy is awfully... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @mrppv 200 hours is the target, however in my experience, the 2170 really opened up at 80 hours, and just small improvements there on out.Having a few different pairs of speakers, I’m always running RP (I don’t save the old measurements). I think ... |
