| HQPlayer and old Mac Mini 2012 Hi @ubdu -- I am currently running HQP on a 2012 Mac Mini (part of evaluating whether I like HQP). What I have determined experimentally is: You can upsample PCM safely to about 384-768 k. If you go higher, you will get occasional clicks/pops d... | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma @wolf_garcia The third is a Loki Max remote EQ in my main hifi pile...this thing is brilliant. I had a Loki Max on order when you wrote this; got it two days ago and have been fiddling with it. I agree completely with your assessment! My init... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? Another +1 for Rhythmik (I have a pair of F12G's -- with the GR drivers). I use an external crossover to avoid overlap between mains and subs. In general, I look at subs addressing two issues: First, and for some the only issue, they get the low... | |
| Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG @sfgak Which Router did you buy? I have been a fan of "prosumer" equipment like the UniFi line by Ubiquti for a long while. Their latest offering, Cloud Gateway Max, looks interesting. I then buy separate WiFi access points (like the U6 Pro o... | |
| Anyone have a Roon Nucleus One? Your experience positive or negative? @2psyop I love Roon’s interface. I had a spare, 10+ year old mac mini (I had upgraded the hard drives to SSD, but the CPU was the original), on which I installed Linux and Roon. Good enough to run Roon without any problems. And since I was going ... | |
| Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG @cooper52 Sonic is awesome. Had them for many years (DSL through to gigabit fiber). Great customer support. But I moved, and it's not available in my new area. Switched to Google Fiber, and after a rocky install process, am happy with it. I alway... | |
| Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor? I currently have 5 acoustic guitars, and have had owned many over the past 40 years. Agree with all comments regarding it being personal taste, and also that the variations between guitars of the same model can often be on the same scale as differ... | |
| Looking for a new Subwoofer +1 @soix re: the Rythmik F12G subs. I am also a happy owner of a pair of these, and I think they are awesome value for the money. Made in Texas. | |
| Can You Trust a Shipper? (UPS, Fed-Ex, etc) @awise1961 said: I checked and the Fed-X tracking stated that it had been delivered and signed for a by "W.Brown". Problem is, no such person works for me. I went to my receiving dept, ant indeed Fed-X Express had not been by and I did not have ... | |
| Denafrips Terminator 12th vs. 15th DAC @hilde45 Clearly the Terminator 15th is 25% better than the Terminator 12th. If it was 50% better, they would have called it the Terminator 18th... | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... ... you aren't finished with the break in period until after the return window passes. | |
| What’s your opinion about Dali speakers? I am only familiar with Dali in the stereo realm, and not HT. I own the Epicon 6’s and am very pleased with them. I like them well enough that I will consider Dali speakers for a HT room that will be built in my next home. They are very balanced, ... | |
| Small footprint subwoofer I respectfully disagree you don’t need a sub that goes below 30Hz for music even in a smaller room. There’s actually a lot of info down there Agree! Even with speakers with a stated low end of 35 Hz, I found the addition of two Rythmik FG12’s m... | |
| Can a DAC do triple duty? I have a Pontus II with two DACs (I2S and USB connections) plugged in and an Oppo 203 (optical) for CDs as well. No problem. | |
| A Tale of Two Crossovers Have you considered the Sublime Audio K231 or their balanced version K235? Analog active 2- or 3-way crossover. I own the K231 and think it is a good value. I do not feel that it adds any significant coloration to the sound. |
