Whats playing on your system today?
Envy of None.  Two albums and an EP.  All three are awesome. It's not hard rock, but the lead guitarist is Alex Lifeson. Female vocalist.

@lanx0003 Glad that you found something that you like. I haven't heard the Topping D90, but I frequently read good things about it.

@lanx0003 Have you had any luck selecting a new dac?

@lanx0003 Good luck with your decision.  I probably won't be checking posts for the foreseeable future.  Feel free to PM me if you have questions that I might be able to answer.

@lanx0003 interesting.  All I know is that I'm really liking what I hear. There was no extra brightness or harshness with the square wave connection. It works well with my gear. You cannot locate the speakers.  It's impressive.  @baylinor sorry y...

@lordmelton Thanks for the information.  Before I saw your post, I had already ordered a pair of 3 foot cables. I hadn't thought about it before today, but it makes sense that they should be the same length.

I initially needed 4 ft cables, but after rearranging my gear, I have one 18 inch cable and one 4 ft cable.  I could get by with a 3ft cable instead of 4ft, but 2ft wouldn't be quite long enough. I don't know of any reason to use the same cable l...

@billpete The first two albums feature Mary Fahl as the lead singer.  She went solo after that.  They are both excellent albums. Their newest album, The Ghost of Childhood, have two ladies singing.  Very different, but really excellent.  You can ...

@baylinor I played vinyl many years ago before cds came out .  A couple of years ago, I upgraded my vinyl playback system.  It's nice and sounds really good, but not better than digital.  It's a modest setup by high end standards.  If you stream ...

@baylinor I had read that the square wave output made some gear sound too bright.  In my system, everything sounds more real.  Piano, drums, bass guitar, etc.  No brightness, sibilance, etc.

We talked about my experience with the LHY ock-2 on another post. As mentioned, I noticed a slight improvement when using the ock-2 with my U18 ddc. I don't notice much difference using it with my Gustard X30 dac.  The game changing moment came w...
