| My impressions of the much Hyped LAIV Harmony DAC (I ordered one and Listened to it.) Hans noted the IIs connection is superior to the others and improved on his criticism on other inputs. That's a valuable distinction. He showed the full brass feet which shouldn't be any issue from the opening view of the Harmony DAC in his room.... | |
| Qobuz Connect WiiM Pro with RME ADI-2 to Qobuz Connect. No issue. When I've contacted Qobuz, they always get back to me. They are slower at times so you may not get a reply for a couple of days but then they engage on the follow ups better. That's when one per... | |
| Streamer Options Needed If you tried the WiiM Ultra and you like using Qobuz you SHOULD be using Qobuz Direct! Your WiiM connects perfectly via Qobuz Direct. Then you will get the best out of the WiiM which can be controlled any way running the Qobuz app directly as you... | |
| Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply +1 on the WiiM Pro with a 5v LPS. | |
| Options to improve digital sound People pointing out lots of expensive options but dipping in can be inexpensive and far superior to a Mac Mini. You can test out a WiiM streamer. The Pro version allows an external 5v power supply. I’ve done that outputting to an RME ADI-2 via g... | |
| New Product - Schiit Byggy DAC Details It does sound interesting and with Schitt being as unique as they are, I most definitely want to hear this DAC. This is a company that punches above its weight in value. Looking forward to the release. | |
| Do I need a stand alone streamer? Wiim Ultra should be auditioned. Excellent software, works great with Qobuz Connect. | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Seems like some folks have issue with their streaming manufacturer. Ask them if a specific product is ready to work with Qobuz Connect. The streaming sound I get with Qobuz Connect is the best to date in my system and for the first time outcompete... | |
| Holo Audio May KTE vs DCS Rossini Player / Clock Much is system dependent and personal preference but I can understand the enthusiasm for the May KTE via HQPlayer. Have the RME ADI-2 and it has an option to run HQPlayer in its Direct DSD mode. Entirely different sound upsampling to 256 DSD with... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Lumin is on the QC list so I suspect your Qobuz software is an older version. On Apple IOS, saw the exact same thing. Didn’t see an automated update so thought it wasn’t available. But when I went to the app update page on IOS for Qobuz, it sh... | |
| Denafrips vs. HOLO vs. LAIV vs. Musician Direct reports I'm hearing say the LAIV uDAC beats out the Holo Cyan. You don't have the connection switching problems either with the Cyan's auto-sense switching. I'd try the LAIV uDAC myself and would like to hear how good it is in my system. | |
| Best DAC you ever heard list. 1.Budget under 1k 2. Mid Under 5k 3. Cost no Object. @oddiofyl @jrareform I agree with selecting the RME ADI-2 (used) under $1,000. Especially if it comes in an AKM chipset variant. What I’ve noticed is that any system improvement is picked up and passed along. Rather uncanny that way. With an o... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype Well @raysmtb1, many have been there but won’t want to admit it. A famous US manufacturer of DACs said something similar to you that DACS have more often minor differences (to paraphrase) but the better route is to invest in amplification. That’s ... | |
| Completely Blown Away--Geshelli JNOG3 with SparkoS Dual SS2590 Op-amps As an RME ADI-2 FS DAC owner, I enjoyed reading about this new release from Geshelli. The charcoal looks very nice. Run a WiiM Pro myself and use an external 5v external LPS. I also added two Cisco Meraki between the streamer and the fiber router... | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? If you need the USB input, the WiiM Ultra is a must try out. If not, the WiiM Pro may do nicely in any comparison you do. I’m using the WiiM Pro as both it and the plus allow a 5v external LPS, unlike the Ultra. Additionally, I’ve added two Cisc... |
