| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up I too like the Sonore products. If going optical route with usb dac, Sonore OpticalRendu is sublime. Powered by Uptone JS-2 easily one the best network and usb rendering upgrades I've made. Whether one chooses to go optical or ethernet, only o... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit Very nice! You're hearing exactly what we hear, 005 has ability to present music and/or live performers in room without artifice. You're assumption it may compete with dacs ten times its price may be correct. Since adding the F... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Matching clocks is another often overlooked issue with clocks. Sine wave vs square wave, what freq. running at. I recently experienced what I presume this issue in rather recent negative experience with audiophile switch. I believe John at Uptone ... | |
| I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd At one place they ain't giving you the choice, the other one would become a hell for me, having only one cd to play over and over again for eternity! This is why I can't play any best ever games, variety is the essence of what's best for me. | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up Sorry, wasn't totally clear, I meant streaming dac. Separate streamer and dac is another option, not clutter free, however. | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up @audphile1 I'll mention this for umpteenth time, when using usb dac,optimization is absolute key!. Vast majority of servers have rather poor usb rendering, reason for all these usb filters, renderers, other thingies. Right off, I'd say this is you... | |
| New here and saying HI! OP with moniker based on juan manuel fangio, nice guy, eclectic tastes in music, and Moto GP fan, what's not to like! Welcome! | |
| Chris Blackwell Is Music’s Quietest ‘Record Man.’ His Artists Speak Loudly I heard interview with him on NPR, Fresh Air show the other day, certainly brought us a lot of good music. One interesting aside, his mother good friends with Ian Flemming (James Bond originator and author), he stated Pussy Galore character based ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @boxer12 I've used Teradak 5V and 9v, Uptone JS-2. Presently using all Teradak (2 are 9v, 1 is 5v) with the three generic FMC in system, JS-2 presently powering server and OpticalRendu so no longer using second rail for one of the FMC. Can't direc... | |
| Turned back into a music lover I'm much like Simonmoon in that I can listen in both modes. I'm a modder, so often changing out little things like caps, resistors, etc. After changes I'm initially in analytical mode, if change is positive, I'll segue into music lover mode, this ... | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? Yep, above posts state very well the need to optimize full system to hear full potential of horns. I've heard horns sound absolutely shouty and furthest thing from natural to absolutely sublime, every single aspect of system matters with extreme l... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version @charles1dad Only as power amp with CSL. Using passive/volume control on 845 substantially inferior to CSL, even inferior to my relatively cheapo Schitt Saga+ passive. I see integrated feature as add on, temp solution for those without pre. . ... | |
| Chris' latest cables. I've used various Vh Audio cables over the years, presently using the Airlock wire in my diy double Helix power cables, Airsine pc's in other components. His capacitors are very nice as well. Don't doubt the IC's very nice. | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version Duh! I had previously thought of asking Israel about good source for WE101, completely forgot about that route! Sixmoons had an article some time back in regard to Linlai Elite tubes having early run failures. Grant Fidelity also mentions newe... | |
| PAP owners I ran several iterations of Alon's back in the day on short wall in 13' x 36' room, so firing down 36' L. As I recall, well out from front wall, distance from side wall somewhat compromised, but not big deal, better than long wall placement and fi... |
