| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? Based on equipment for both sources, I'd expect comparison to be much closer. I can't see anything that stands out as great liability in either. I do know the XP27 is standout phono, was going to be my choice for phono until nice deal on Thoress p... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @jerryg123 I'd like to see direct face off with this type FMC vs OpticalModule. OM does have both optimized power supply and clocking. I'd also like to see a data base of optical devices these transceivers work or not work with. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I agree dac maybe limiting factor here. If dac not fully optimized usb and roughly equal to AES input, I'd expect streamer with optimized AES to have superior SQ. If this were my setup and comparison, my next comparison would be to another streame... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I've found 'closed in' sq typical early in burn in period. Fuses do make a difference, forgot about this in case of streamer, will try the purple. When speaking of deriving pleasure from the sound of my system vs music, its not a battle, rather I... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I dealt with Cable Company for years, never a problem returning a cable, this with literally hundreds of cable over years. I understand one may have issues with any single rep at the Cable Co, I had issues with one individual there, refused to dea... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @cowhorn You pretty much got it. I used to experiment with various rfi shielding materials placed around the router, but with wifi off makes much less sense, not sure it was doing anything other than retaining rfi in router in any case. Also nice ... | |
| The Forgotten @paullb Where did you get this info? Core Power has been in business for some years. Mark Shifter was one of the original principals, also served in this capacity with Perpetual Technologies.This when BPT still in business. Perp Tech went out of... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @tonywinga Estimation of audio journey and tiers of audio very well stated! Audio just like nearly all human endeavors in that complexity nearly always in upwards trajectory. Questions never end, answers are discovered. The one thing I'd add to th... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I've never been able to step back from more resolution, transparency once I've heard it, my goal is progress, lower resolution, transparency is regression in my book. Certainly there have been times when the extra transparency and resolution has ... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @cowhorn Unless your ISP service has capability of offering more than one IP address you can't do this. For most of us we have only one address assigned as 192.168.1.1, can't have two routers assigned this address. I had forgotten about the fa... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @latik In stating I was sold on Antipodes, I was within days of purchasing K50 when I was notified the custom build streamer I ended up purchasing came up for sale. Again, K50 was my choice based on the second ethernet port optimized for output to... | |
| Inexpensive but good sounding power supply (and hard drive) for PC audio? @agisthos Euphony OS for Windows eliminates any use of Windows as computer, all you get is BIOS screens and Euphony screen. With I9 processor using less than 3% on only two cores in server mode handing off to Sonore OpticalRendu for streamer. Euph... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @waytoomuchstuff Interesting to hear a dealer's perspective on this, I often assume others as attentive to small details as I am. I've also run in motorcycle and car circles nearly all my life, seems like I'm always around OCD type people! Can... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Your conclusion in regard to usb seems solid. Looking at how the usb implemented Phoenix vs N20 this is what should be expected. I'd be very interested in your comparison of AES if you did get the Antipodes, I came very, very close to pu... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @lollipopguild You may be correct, I just seem to recall reading somewhere these devices throw off the unneeded voltage as heat. I just should also contextualize my impressions of the 1475 as not being used exclusively as network device in my ... |
