| Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR.. I had bipolar speakers in the past. Lithium helped immensely. 😜 | |
| Which Schitt Audio Equalizer operates as a loudness switch for low level listening Another happy Loki Max owner here. If you have a remote for volume control, you’ll want a remote for your “loudness” control, too. Similar to others, I started with approximations to a few Fletcher Munson curves stored as presets on the Loki Max, ... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS +1000 Fletcher Munson It's settled science. I bought a Schiit Loki Max a while back. I use one preset that resets everything to zero change, where I can twiddle the knobs to adjust poor recordings. The other two I have programmed in different ... | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System The package arrived today, and, as it was superbly packed by the vendor, it came through in fine shape. @mike4597 Glad to hear it arrived safe and sound. Here's one more data point on USPS Priority Shipping and Tracking, from sending my tax ret... | |
| 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... |
