| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer My son is using my R26 with a Cambridge CXA-60 integrated amp (also mine, lol). He's using a Bluesound Node for a streamer. It sounds really good, but he's got the system crammed into a small bedroom (less than ideal). Speakers are Wharfedale D... | |
| Why does Audiogon need my phone number to send private messages @lalitk When I mispelled Roon as Rune, I added a comment to my own post about the error. I tried to edit the original post, but found out that you can't edit if someone has replied to the post. Since I had replied to my own post, I could no lon... | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer The R26 sounds best when using I2s or USB inputs, in my opinion. The Cambridge only has coaxial and optical outputs if I'm not mistaken. I've streamed with the renderer in the R26 using Audirvana software. I certainly wouldn't call it awful. | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer And you're certain that the sounds that you hear are coming from the R-26 and neither the Cambridge integrated or Cambridge streamer? I've not read any reviews that indicate the issues that you've had. | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer The sound quality of my R26 with my Innuos streamer was excellent. I also tried the renderer/streamer in the R26 with Audivarna software. The sound quality was quite good, but I had issues with Audivarna. | |
| Reliability - what’s your experience been? I've only had one problem in 45 years of this hobby. Not counting the blown tweeters in my Altec Lansing speakers (some dumbass cranked them too long during a frat party). I bought a used conrad-johnson Premier 17LS2 preamp. It was just old eno... | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer The U18 wouldn't work in your case because you'd still be using the USB output. | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer @alexberger I Googled the Shanling manual and it says "USB is set as priority for the system. if you want to use a different digital output, please make sure USB Audio Output is not connected". I2s would probably work, but you'd have to figure o... | |

| Current quality of Rune @wyoboy It's been interesting and informative. I appreciate all of the comments! Unfortunately, people searching for information on Roon will have to search for Rune. Lol. I blame my damn autocorrect... | |
| Merason dac MK1 on audio mart That stinks. Sorry for your bad luck. Hopefully, PayPal gets your money back. | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? If my friend was happy with their system, I would probably say something like "very nice". If asked what I thought could be improved, I'd probably make a suggestion. A couple of years ago, an audiophile friend made a comment about my vinyl setup... | |
| Innuos Zen MK3 tips and tricks Initially, I felt that there was a bit of additional detail and clarity with the first few songs that I played (on low latency). After extended listening, I felt that the music had lost some fullness. Thinner, I guess. Some upper frequencies were... | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer You should be able to switch inputs on the Gustard. I did it with my cd player and streamer. Are you sure that the Shanling will output through USB and coaxial at the same time? Maybe try unplugging the USB cable from Shanling and see if coaxia... |
