| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Can't think of one off hand, pretty difficult to find an artists devoid of at least one song I may like. I guess Captain Beefheart closest thing, the guy is a phony and treated his band mates terribly. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @debjit_g +1 Exactly! Is there an objective best with streaming components and chains, streaming is the wild west these days, so many devices and ways to implement these devices. Only with direct comparisons within one's own system could we begi... | |
| Received my Denafrips Venus 15th The purpose and reasoning for DDC/I2S explained well from above posts. I'll add its not only clock topology that's important, implementation of these clocks extremely important, this means power supplies must be optimal. What this means is a well... | |
| New Klipsch Klipschorn AK7 & La Scala AL6 will be active DSP Crossover @saeed79 Its not only the horn design that affects sound quality. My early 1980's Klipschorns came with the K401 horn, a cast iron exponential horn. That thing rang like a bell when you knocked on it, damping these horns was the common 'fix'. So I... | |
| Im going to regret my cable question @neversatisfied "I don't really cater to the wow, that totally changed my system theory". You just exactly stated my perspective on Cardas. Over the years with all the auditioning of cables via lending library from CableCompany any number of time... | |
| PSVane 300B comparisons wanted Lower cost 300B easily bettered by higher line IME, greater transparency/resolution eaily heard in revealing system. Given the choice between Acme and Western Electric 300B, WE superior to Acme. Nothing wrong with Acme, I happily lived with for a ... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited @fastfreight Thanks for that video, don't poo poo the network! Now I'm intrigued by the Dejitterit equipment, have to do my research on these products, will search the Audiophilestyle forum for threads on this. I'm really surprised the guys on... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited @cleeds This is true, I started with a laptop. On the other hand, there is no end of streaming/network devices out there, some have found them to be helpful. Also, I presume those with more complex setups enjoy the entire process of experimenting ... | |
| Best affordable Linear Power Stage @tyray I've never heard a 'house' sound from network and clocking devices or network cables. these only affect transparency/resolution, have no affect on either tonality or timbre. I2S and usb cables affect tonal balance to a small degree, also tr... | |
| network switches and cables. @marco1 I'm running two computer setup in bridged mode via Euphony operating system on a custom build streamer. this being used as the server only, Streamer is Sonore OpticalRendu, so this fiber conversion post server. I have both modem and gamin... | |
| I2s cable not working with my DAC First off, PS Audio has been one of the leaders in trying to implement a standard I2S protocol. Again, with configurable pin ability with even a single device, one should be able to find a setting to communicate with non configurable pin device. ... | |
| Did I Expect too much? Boutique parts don't automatically create the perfect audio component. There is intrinsic or fundamental design that is most important, parts only as good as the circuit they're placed in. The other possible issue with boutique parts is they are g... | |
| Best affordable Linear Power Stage @ghdprentice I'd agree for major streaming components like streamers and dacs shouldn't be any need for outboard power supplies. When I'm speaking of the need for outboard lps this pertains to the myriad network devices available for streaming. ... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Streaming is so complex and crazy. Sometimes more is less, other times less is more. We have so many devices to choose from to the point we're not close to determining some reference streaming network. Choosing hierarchy of dacs, streamers easy co... | |
| Im going to regret my cable question Asking for advice on which cable to purchase. Same old thing, a million recommendations, how does one choose from this chaos! My advice is audition cables from dealers, lending library at CableCompany, this what I did for many years, wanted to get... |
