| Genre: Sacred or Early World Music, what's your go to? Funny, because I'm not religious, but I much prefer the sacred. The sacred feels universal and timeless, much early world music feels alien to me, primitive and tribal. But then, certain early world music can feel spiritual, can't exactly put my ... | |

| Lifespan of components? Heat is major cause of component wear, manage heat and get longer life. And then we have much faster evolution and innovation in certain audio categories. Take streaming for example, I consider these components consumables, certain components ... | |
| Listening without interpretation...is it impossible? Are non-audiophiles non-audiophiles simply because they don't speak our language, or is something inherent to them? Could teaching them our audio language bring out the audiophile in them? Is there in fact a hidden audiophile within every human, o... | |
| China built tube amps @hifijones Do you think one of those self learning remotes could be substituted? I too had Chinese dac remote go bad, in my case I found bad solder joint, reflowed, good to go. This only failure I've incurred with Chinese products. And it is p... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Yep, usb is superior way to go with many dacs. Also has the advantage of using various usb rendererers/streamers and fiber conversion. For most, usb beats even I2S which should have inherent advantage of native topology within dac, therefore, no c... | |
| A different world Above is partially incorrect, brain fade. More specifically, you bridge to a second ethernet port in order to split server and streamer duty. Most servers have only a single ethernet port, usb out to dac or usb renderers, perhaps I2S, spdif, etc.... | |
| A different world @audiom3 I'm in process of converting to all fiber, just purchased fiber streamer, next will be fiber server. Doing fiber conversions via two FMC certainly one of best prior upgrades. Also, another upgrade I don't hear much about is bridging... | |
| Headstone Confusion will be my epitaph. | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. In process of changing from SOTM sms200 neo to Sonore Opticalrendu. My next server will have optical out, goal is to have all optical post modem. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Congratulations! Where does it say dpll 6 best setting for DSD? While the Hidiamond usb may be great at that price, you can do better, it will pay off. I've used Supra, Cardas, Wireworld, settled on AQ Diamond, you will definitely hear difference... | |
| China built tube amps I own Chinese equipment, and I have no problem with purchasing it. Still, I'd never buy any 845 amp from unknown, dubious Chinese manufacturer, seen these issues for years with 845's. We're running nearly 900 volts here, very demanding of quality ... | |
| Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room. It is good to see this cutting edge technology, over time it will wind it's way into more affordable equipment for us mere mortals. I also experience a more analog like performance with each improvement in my much more modest digital setup. A ... | |
| Soundstage depth how to improve? Shootout @klappertjedundas Are your images dimensional, in that they have proportional width and depth. If they are fully dimensional ss positioning shouldn't be much bother. Sounds to me like you're getting FLAT and FORWARD ss, that would be a bother. The... | |
| A different world Yep, steaming is evolving fast and will continue to evolve. |
