| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) I've never heard of this unit until this thread, but at that price and with those reviews I felt it worth a try, so I just ordered one. I dearly love my Yggdrasil LiM so we'll see if this thing can outshine it. Ordered the custom output voltage, t... | |
| The difference between Qoboz stream vs purchased songs I think I know what you're getting at. I'm a Qobuz subscriber at the highest level (I think they call it "Sublime") which allows me to purchase hi-res recordings at a really low price. I have bought 15 or 20 just because there are some recordings... | |
| Ethernet opinions I read a comparison test once where the user tested 5-6 high-end (some VERY high-end) ethernet cables and included a BJC as a sort-of baseline. Guess which one he ended up liking best? I myself tested a DH Labs Reunion Cat 8 cable (about $200) aga... | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? @henry53 Focal Clear headphones never sold for $2200. Both the original model and the later Mg model came on the market for $1500. | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) I actually think power and speaker cables are fun to build. Others not as fun. For power I use DH Labs (Silver Sonic) top-end red bulk cable for amps and the one-rung down "Power Plus" for everything else. Wattgate connectors appropriate for the u... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align "Playing With My Emotions" by Tedeschi Trucks hasn’t been mentioned and it’s pretty exceptional | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player @rockrider The N150 is a valid alternative. I was originally more interested in the ripping capabilities until I read from someone who compared Aurender ripped files to more commonly sourced ripped files and found that there was nothing special ... | |
| Aurender ACS100 as streamer/player Sorry to revive a 3 1/2 month old thread, but I have the same question about the ACS100 as the OP. So the two negatives that hamper it's performance are the switching power supply (an easy fix, though at 19V, 3.4A, not as easy as most), and the la... | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? Karen Carpenter k.d.Lang Carmen Gomes | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience I recently bought a Singxer SU-6, but I use it in place of a streamer. Not sure this would work for you as mine is fed from Roon running on a Mac Mini, so I don't actually need my streaming device to be able to connect directly to the streaming se... | |
| Less Is Really More - Schiit's New Yggdrasil DAC - Less Is More @jjss49 "does the lim yggy still have that relay click when sensing a different sample rate of music sent to it? i was forever hoping mike and co would address that..." Yes, it does. I actually kinda like it as it's a audible clue that the sampl... | |
| Chris' latest cables. Bump in cost over which ones on his site? Which ones were you going to buy before he offered you these new ones? | |
| The magic of outdoor listening Count me among the curmudgeons. If you have no neighbors close enough to be bothered then knock yourself out, otherwise the lack of consideration for others you exhibit by blasting your music outdoors is simply staggering. I have some outdoor Kefs... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality I personally feel like the uber-expensive cables are pretty foolish and exist only for those with more money than sense, but if you like 'em and can afford 'em, knock yourself out. BUT, I do like to buy reasonably priced quality cables. Power and ... | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? Decided to try the Zen Stream and received it today. Just using the included wall-wart, which is indeed a bit of a joke. Biggest disappointment is that, like the Bricasti M5, it also won't send audio to my Yggdrasil via USB. At this point it's obv... |
