| Newbie Looking for Advice on Streaming Music @audioengr Just looking at your oscilloscope plots, I would say you have plenty of triggering issues - this would explain why you get bimodal distributions and distributions that look a mirror image of each other.You would be much better served by... | |
| Are my " diamond " tweeters really diamond Breakup is important. You don’t want to drive a transducer close to or beyond breakup. This is something the designer must take into account.The key to soft domes is that they are intrinsically damped - doped fabric! This is the key! It means that... | |
| Using iTunes as a source library for Aurender Music servers Sounds wonderful. I had a larger collection than yours on iTunes and this year I switched to Roon and Tidal. Roon is the way to go - the curating is done for you! Roon is an amazing interface. Trust me - if you try it then you will want a headless... | |
| Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about Turn the lights out and listen to Jean Michel Jarre Oxygen!Duran Duran Tiger Tiger has the circling thing - in fact many albums had that affect - Ultravox used effects to.Beach Boys Caroline No (train crossing dogs barking at the end) | |
| Newbie Looking for Advice on Streaming Music @audioengr Great that you are measuring jitter, however, you are just using your ears to judge if a DAC rejects jitter and sounds right - in fact you claim that no DACs successfully reject jitter which is counter to several manufacturers claims as... | |
| Most satisfying system change in 2017? +1 the single repeated most satisfying change: ROON | |
| Musician vs. audiophile +1 RussbuttonYour “sizzle” remark is right on the mark. I would add that most high end sells sizzle too. Choosing the goldilocks sound (neutral overall - not too hot and not too cold) requires discipline and careful selection through audition of m... | |
| Done, really done! May I suggest Roon and Tidal subscriptions and then you can truly say you are done. | |
| Which speakers do I pick and are they close in quality +1 Harbeth for softer FM sound. Great mid range. | |
| Singxer SU-1 with Aurender N100H Possibly the Ayre output (did you use optical or Coax?) has less jitter than the USB 2 of the Aurender. Or the decoding of USB in the Holo Spring suffers from logic induced modulation - so it works better with the Singxer or a low jitter feed from... | |
| Most satisfying system change in 2017? ROON with Tidal lossless streaming and an extensive 3TB library of hard drive personal lossless music.This extremely sophisticated and elegant user interface has transformed my listening experience. More listening with more connections to other ar... | |
| Singxer SU-1 with Aurender N100H Those I know with the Holo Spring DAC all say that it needs something like the Singxer to work properly - so I don’t think you can eliminate it. | |
| ATC SCM40As sound quality at low voume No issue at all. Anything as as accurate as ATC will sound great at normal listening levels or live concert levels (ATC are impressive because they play cleanly at much higher levels than the majority of speakers).However equal loudness contours ... | |
| Musician vs. audiophile +1 Al Great advice!As for Best Buy box speakers - don’t dismiss them. Speakers can be quite good at the $2500 price range and up. (Harmon Kardon own Revel and continue to do a good job F206 or 208). If you want good quality speakers that would sat... | |
| Gumby vs Yggy Just try a Benchmark DAC3 on 30 day return. And don’t use your pre as this will just add noise and dumb it down. |
