| the question of changing ethernet cables @finnlove Believe you're speaking of Small Green Computer, specialize in optical steaming. I do use Sonore OpticalModule and OpticalRendu, many experiments with optical in past and continuing into future, some in next few weeks. With optical you c... | |
| the question of changing ethernet cables @finnlove Any dimmers/reostats anywhere in house can cause these sorts of hissing/fuzzy sounds. Even with dedicated circuits on audio these can infect, transformers with LED lights can also infect, I know both from personal experience. Otherwi... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @vgmbpty brings up one box vs multi box solution, whole other can of worms. This is where the rendering capability of streamers really comes into play , and I'd agree the one box solution becomes the more expensive proposition, especially if usb ... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Of the big four mentioned above, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen and Dylan and Jerry, Neil and Jerry are the ones I can listen to throughout entire career. When Cohen and Dylan began to sound more like croaking frogs than human is day I couldn't take it... | |
| the question of changing ethernet cables You are correct on noise coming into house, however self generated noise and jitter from modem on still exist in all streaming setups. Whether you need a filter or not is for you to discover via experimentation. I've done much experimentation with... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core @fastfreight Won't get optimized usb out of Nucleus servers, usb directly off motherboards with these. Getting optimized usb on dedicated usb board will only come with much more costly streamers. To get superior usb out of Nucleus involves adding ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Direct fair comparisons of streamers is extremely difficult to undertake. What dac streamer is partnered with extremely critical as best port for rendering is unique to each streamer, same goes for dac. Optimal matching means best port on streamer... | |
| New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running..... I chose to go with XA after hemming and hawing with cartridge choice over a couple years, this decision included cartridges at prices up to $5k. Based on that research never saw a single dismissive review of it, many claim it competitive with just... | |
| Inexpensive but good sounding power supply (and hard drive) for PC audio? @stereo5 Not my experience with mac minis, I used hdd and ssd via sata drives and PCIe ssd in various extremely modded minis, sound quality definitely impacted. I'd expect same in Windows computer. My present Windows custom build streamer runs OS... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Charles, my Technicolor model # is E31T2ul. My ISP is Spectrum, have up to 1gbps service available. Anyone can check on their modem quality via various modem rating services on web, Getting modem and router close to system was impressive... | |
| Inexpensive but good sounding power supply (and hard drive) for PC audio? I suspect many won't take you seriously with idea of using your computer as high quality streaming source. I ran various modified mac minis for years and presently use Windows based custom build at present. While my custom build has virtually ... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System More thoughts in regard to complexity of streaming systems. Streaming is likely the most inherently complex source we have, even vinyl pales somewhat in comparison. We necessarily have to deal with networks, this means ISP, modems, routers, cablin... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Charles, my router is router only unit, and yes, close to audio system. My ISP service comes into my dedicated listening room, however, at opposite end of system, originally had modem and router at that end of room with 25' cheaper ethernet cable ... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Optical comes in number of flavors, hearing one or two implementations may not tell the whole story. I've had generic with smps, generic with one lps, generic with two lps, OpticalRendu with generic, OpticalRendu with OpticalModule. I've also used... | |
| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house (resubmit) So funny, some believe streaming charges excessively, and having to put up with deleted music makes it total ripoff. Others state doesn't charge near enough, rips off artists. Which is it, are the consumers ripped off or is it the artists. If ... |
