| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" Everyone, regardless of caring about sound quality is literally listening to the equipment, this includes the recording equipment. Beyond this why does someone else care about mine or anyone's listening preferences. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship LKS doesn't need driver, it will work with SMS-200 . Issue I see with LKS is non-configurable pin assignments on I2S, but this need not be and issue if dac has configurable pin assignment. I assume having ability for pin configuration not an iss... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Beatles didn't like being on pedestal either, any number of songs disparaging their fame, especially those written by John and George. | |
| Any Advantages To A Streamer In My Situation Early on I directly experienced the effects of relatively small changes within computers/streamers. I started with laptop then went to a series of three Mac Mini's. First Mac Mini started stock and then I began to optimize via disabling various fu... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Love the Beatles but @thecarpathian "Hey Jude" brings back memories of my nephew who as a first child of one sister and brother in law was always 'the star of the show', every holiday the lights go up, entire family has to put up with little sh@@ ... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? @timothy468 DDC's potential advantage comes from clocking and power supply to that clock in DDC vs internal clock and power supply in dac. In comparing clocks, general hierarchy is OXCO best, followed by TXCO, then Femto. And then we have to consi... | |
| Thoughts on swapping out Audioquest and Transparent cables for Duelund I've made speaker and IC cables from the Duelund, no doubt it on warm side somewhat rolled off highs. Excellent timbre, natural, may or may not throw off tonal balance. | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? Tariffs and general state of world economies may have finally cured me, we'll see how long this insanity lasts. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @dayglow I'd more than suggest at least some of the dislikes based on political views. While I find Kid Rock insufferable have to admit I liked a few of his songs prior to knowing his political affiliation or world views. I wasn't much of a Bruce... | |
| Western Electric 300b's pricing I lucked out, $1100 Upscale Audio Holiday sale back in December. Don't recall ever seeing anything less than full msrp prior to this. For anyone purchasing used, warranty card is non-transferable and warranty card needs to be received within 10 da... | |
| Jupiter copper & foil cap I can't give definitive answer but I'd be leery of placing any part with wax in amps which are generally hottest audio component. | |
| Six DAC Comparison Usb wasn't developed as an interface between streamers and dacs, this interface has no inherent advantage over I2S. I2S interface not universally used due to the fact I2S clock best placed closest to data lines. So, we can then all agree I2S clock... | |
| Six DAC Comparison I2S also superior with Laiv Harmony. This anecdotal evidence based on my individual and unique streaming setup. I continue to not make any universal claims beyond the possible benefit of not having to detour around the other interfaces. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @balos Sounds like your enjoying your system as is. The one thing I'd suggest first is try I2S with 005, this will require some outlay of cash, especially if you went with high end DDC and I2S cable, still there may be benefits with lesser DDC and... | |
| Gain level on a REL sub What @larryincmh read in Rel literature may be your issue. I've had a number of subs over the years, low level inputs with dsp, I always heard these subs as separate from the main speakers, drew attention to themselves. My Rel's first sub I hear ... |
