Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP?
There is a long thread on another site with a lot of talk about using fiber media conversions into streamer. The upgrade results are saying it is one of the biggest bang for the buck improvement you can do. You need two fmc’s run by a linear power... 
How much should I spend on a new DAC
Gustard R26. Built in streamer end point , bluetooth, usb, coax, I2S inputs. BNC to add external clock. Most reviewers rate on par with any out there up to 6K. I have it and live it. Can’t give you a comparison as this is my first major dac. All f... 
Using streaming as a main source ---DSD, FLAC, MQA Streamers and DACS
You are way over thinking this. Buy the best your budget can get then sit back and enjoy the music. My dac (dad) can play all The formats. Yes some sound better but none sound bad. Even logging in to a radio station web site and playing from there... 
My 30 Watt class A is louder than my 100 Watt Class AB?
Watts per channel are only the out put measurement ( horse power). There is so much more (torque) inside the an amp that produces the watts per channel. They did not name the company “First Watt” because it was catchy!  
Subwoofer boom is too much for me...
What is your sub? Are you using for dual purpose (ht)? I would say get a new better sub. My REL tx9 disappears in my system and added to the sound across the room..before my REL I tried using my infinity ht sub in my two channel. I had to turn it ... 
Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me
It’s NY other than being assaulted on the way to the store what did you expect!!  
Interesting situation! Do we need this....
People always fall into the trap of if it cost more it must be better. Trust your ears don’t judge on only one listening session but most of all enjoy the music!  
Can a Bluesound Node's Streamer Be Bypassed and be used as an External Dac?
Why? The dac in the node is not good. Many many options better for very little money.  
RIP Jeff Beck
Yes this is another big lose to the fraternity but no one lives for ever. can anyone name one other profession where people never retire and play to the day they die? To me this shows how much they love making and playing music. I would give my l... 
Ultimate stereo nightmare
Might try to locate and check the fuse before calling in a crew to tell you the same.  
Did you ever buy too much bass?
@hickamore  First is the numbers displayed and a subs crossover control are not always accurate or true. I have tested some subs with meters way back in the day that confirmed this. Now I just go by what my ears can hear and I can bet yours will ... 
Did you ever buy too much bass?
IMO people us subs for the wrong reason. I do not want my sub to add mud to the mix. I like my bass tight fast and articulate. I also like my “powered” sub to add weight in the mid range of my mix so I set the crossover very high. Think about it e... 
Favourite Guitarists
Have to add Frank Zappa  
Dac Upgrade
Great bang for the buck dac right now is Gustard R26. R2r sounds great with built in lan end point. Some have added modest priced external clocks to move it even further in sound. The best way I can describe it is musical. I sit down to listen to ... 
Improve sound
DAC!! Blusound dac is not even on par with an ifi hip dac 2. You can sell your blusound and par with your cash and buy the Gustard R26. You will be blown away.
