| How critical is streamer hardware to SQ when it feeds a good DAC? No problem with audiotroy, quit the cancel culture. | |
| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates You can in fact manual bias some PL https://www.primaluna-usa.com/autobias-adjustment | |
| Buyer Dispute @kirbymydog Wow, you're one of the most patient and understanding buyers I think I've ever seen. You're sold non-working speakers misrepresented as working when shipped. You accept offer of replacement tweeters which have not arrived for over 6 m... | |
| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates Forget about SET if worried 30-40 WPC not being enough. Heat will be of some concern, usually more heat with more power. I'd stick to push pull amps, fairly low power. Still like your PL inclinations as you can switch out a variety of power tubes ... | |
| Buyer Dispute Misrepresentation by seller. Did he state tweeters inoperable, no, you have legal grounds for full immediate refund. Don't let anyone tell you those tweeters suffered open circuit due to rough handling! They were shipped with damage already i... | |
| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates PrimaLuna fine at your budget level. Separates better but you'd have to stretch budget. Actually, I'd rather have the PL integrated with it's active pre vs some of the other tube amps with passive pre's. | |
| Pimping your router Yep, connectors are entrance ways for RFI, another reason I prefer optical. | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core @jksec Running directly to dac generally means running out usb port on server, unless this is optimized with something like Jcat or Pink Faun usb card, not best way to go. Running over ethernet gives one many options like separate streamer/end po... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... There are three issues at hand. Quality of usb out of server/streamer, combining processes within one box and separating server from streamer, aka two computer solution. Many servers don't optimize usb out, take usb directly out from motherboa... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @docknow Tail end is system end. The last noise producing component would be server or streamer, everything up to input to dac. Opticalrendu serves this purpose by eliminating noise at the last possible position in chain, it is usb renderer, strea... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @goose You're issue will be pin outs, no standardization in I2S. You will either need custom cable built or DDC such as Singxer SU-6. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @mitch2 I see you're using FMC in front of Bonn switch and server, the most advantageous placement would be after, just before dac. Servers create noise, usb coming out of motherboard is not optimal. Have you ever tried this positioning of FMC? I'... | |
| PrimaLuna tube amp issue Yep, tube failure just after shipping, not unusual, and can happen with all tubes and equipment! This actually happened to my PL Dialogue Four, one EL34 power tube failed on first firing, took out one resistor on auto bias board, I did diy repair. | |
| Oh Ye of Little Format The equipment used, short term listening and long term unfamiliarity of system sound all have bearing on result. Still, doesn't surprise me couldn't hear difference between streaming and physical disc. | |
| AKM makes the best DACs I agree there are much more important criteria in evaluating dacs, however, I do observe a fair amount of stereotyping dac sound based on chip/topology. AKM more analog, Sabre high resolution, incisive, R2R more analog. FPGA only one not fitting i... |
