| Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses Changing the DNS on my router to the Google standards of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Haven't had any problems since this change..... it works flawlessly. @duckey Great advice in general! Another good DNS server is 1.1.1.1, run by Cloudflare/APNIC S... | |
| Speakers for low-level listening +1 on the Loki Max. | |
| a subwoofer dongle anyone tried it ? moderator NOT selling this ! @roxy54 Your punctuation (?) is fascinating. A creative way to get left-right justification without access to variable kern fonts… | |
| a resonance in my left ear If it is a resonance in your ear, and not something else, you could experiment with DSP or digital EQ (you already have it if you have Roon, for example). Just create a notch filter centered around your resonant frequency, and adjust the Q value w... | |
| ifi Neo Streamer I tried it, curious about its high bitrate I2S, but returned it. I found the software flakey (for example, the entire unit had access issues if you set a static IP address, even though that was clearly contemplated as it was a menu option). I was... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh You may not be aware that Bose is owned by Massachusetts Institute of Technology - donated entirely by Amar Bose upon his death. MIT’s endowment fund exceeds $23.5 Billion. @musicearlyadopter If I recall correctly, the shares Amar Bose donated ... | |
| 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 ... |
