| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? I may try the OP's combo once the Zen Stream is Roon ready. I know it apparently works with Roon now, but apparently Roon ready status is coming soon according to the ifi website. I just tried a Bricasti M5 streamer and it couldn't send audio to m... | |
| What a pile of Schiit Their customer service is not that bad. They've answered every question I've ever had, including just the other day when I asked if they had any clue what could be causing an incompatibility issue between a streamer I'd bought and my Yggdrasil. Th... | |
| What a pile of Schiit Indeed, I've read accounts of various Loki models being used in some pretty high-end systems and they only get raves. I too suspect the user above has something else going on that's causing the hum. | |
| What a pile of Schiit There are a number of posters that are clearly talking out of their posterior here. I'm on my fourth Schiit product, a Yggdrasil "Less-Is-More" version. I've been extremely pleased with all of them. The Yggdrasil is, without a doubt, one of the be... | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC Your willingness and desire to audition the candidates will serve you well. I would add to the several who have spoken in favor of the Yggdrasil, and in particular I would recommend the new "less-is-more" variant. I predict it will eventually be ... | |
| Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound I think they already are addressing it. There is a beta that lifetime subscribers have been invited to try. Most of it is cosmetic or has to do with the UI, but one paragraph in the notes says this; We’ve made changes to Roon’s buffering and cach... | |
| Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound "I suppose its popularity has made it an easy target." I think you're spot-on with this. People love to bring down and bad-mouth popular products, trends, even other people. | |
| Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound I can't definitively state that Roon sounds equal to/better than all the alternatives mentioned here as I simply haven't tried them all, but I have A/B'ed Roon against Audirvana playing both standard res and hi-res files on a M1 Mac Mini and found... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? @soix I agreed with that one aspect of what you said, that's it. Please re-read and then let it go... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? I'm defensive? That's really not how this back and forth is coming across, my friend. You absolutely got your feelings hurt that I don't like SVS subs, no matter what you say. Why do you care so much? Just say "I don't agree with that particular o... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? @soix What do you call this post, "chief"? Really @shooter41? What’s your experience with sealed SVS subs? My experience with my SB2000 in a fairly high-end, 2-channel setup is pretty damn impressive and I’d think adding another would be even mor... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? @soix Dude, you asked. I had no idea I was advising audio royalty. 🙄 | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? Agreed, two subs are usually going to be better than one, even if that one is generally a more capable model, but with the rest of your system you really owe it to yourself to step up to a better pair. | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? I knew someone would get their feelings hurt. I tried SVS SB3000's first with my Kef R900's and they certainly went low but they still sounded like subs and were not what I was looking for. Rythmik was suggested to me so I tried a pair of G22's an... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? REL is a good choice, SVS not so much for a music based system. The other good choice is Rythmik. Even their ported models are graceful enough for music systems but their sealed models are simply sublime. Especially check out the G22 (dual 12") an... |
