| Sabre EE Minimax Plus - Calyx - Audiolab 8200DQ He says it's better, and cites a number of reasons too lengthy to post here. Check out the Pink Fish Media forums for details. | |
| Sabre EE Minimax Plus - Calyx - Audiolab 8200DQ Audiolab just started shipping their Sabre 9018 based M-DAC (< $1000), which looks quite compelling based on discussions over at Pink Fish Media forums (where M-DAC designer John Westlake has been active). Initial reviews are quite positive, bu... | |
| Any devices like Squeezbox Touch but handle 192/24 DLNA is another network streaming protocol for music (and video) that can provide bit-perfect streams up to 24/192 (wired ethernet best for high-res). I can access my high-res FLAC files using the Oppo's software and Networking function, but it re... | |
| Any devices like Squeezbox Touch but handle 192/24 I've been supplementing my Squeezebox Touch (Redbook and 24/96 playback) with my Oppo BDP-95 (streaming 24/192 via DLNA). Works great, but the user interface is quite limited (since the Oppo does not offer DLNA rendering). If you're just planning ... | |

| Connecting a SB Touch into Oppo BDP-95? I'm using DLNA streaming from a Netgear Readynas NV+ via Ethernet cable. Netgear has it's own proprietary DLNA software, but I'm also trying the dBPowerAmp Asset DLNA software as well. From the Oppo HOME menu (requires video display on to navigate... | |
| Connecting a SB Touch into Oppo BDP-95? I'm sorry to hear that Dan (Modwright) might NOT be offering the digital input option for the BDP-95, but not totally surprised. Given it's USB, eSATA, plus DLNA input options, the market for an S/PDIF input upgrade would probably be limited. Furt... | |
| Connecting a SB Touch into Oppo BDP-95? Dan Wright (Modwright) is supposedly going to offer digital input mods. Per his website, he's currently offering it only for the Oppo BDP-83SE and Sony XA-5400ES, but I believe he posted on Audiocircle that he'll likewise offer it for the BDP-95 d... | |

| Squeezebox hard to see? There are a number of Squeezebox controller "apps" for various smartphone platforms... Apple, Android, and Palm/WebOS. Not sure about Blackberry. Of course, you can also control it with a laptop, or iPad.Personally, I am using a Squeezebox Touch i... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Squeezebox Touch. The previous Squeezebox models were also "overachievers" but the Touch beats them all (except, of course, the Transporter). | |
| Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby? 1980, when I heard my first ever high-end setup (large maggies, don't recall the other gear) and was "blown away" by the realism! Been chasing the elusive audio holy grail ever since! | |
| XTZ Room Analyzer or something else? I have used the XTZ Room Analyzer on multiple occasions for setting up my own 2-channel and 5.1 surround sound setups. It's fairly easy to use, but DOES take some time to learn all the nuances, and how to interpret the graphs. The latest version o... |
