| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT I don't know if the Ps Audio has that capability, best to ask those familiar with unit. I'd also question whether you are indeed operating in sync mode, I was just reading this, https://forum.psaudio.com/t/ps-audio-i2s-clock/30748 According to my ... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @car123 I haven't been keeping close track to hours recently but somewhere around 350 for Gaia and 250 for Tubulus and sound continues to evolve. Mostly gains in harmonic structure and more natural attack and decay. Mostly what I love with my pres... | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) I'm really into the crooners of the 50's, 60's, all the music I tried to hate in my youth. That was a time and place that can't be replicated, these are historical documents just as all music becomes with time. Male folk singers fit the bill as fr... | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! @celtic66 +1 Seekers are the few and far between, artists and consumers have to put in the work to discover one another. I find plenty of new interesting artists, and I still listen to old favorites. I like to read the comments with youtube vi... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT @wtyamamoto Incorrect information on I2S,all the dacs with I2S input I'm aware off give you the choice of sync or async, in other words you have choice between the streamer/DDC clock or dac internal clock. For those who hear differences among... | |
| DDC Cableing I agree with most of what @soix stated with the exception of I2S cable. I recently directly compared a $70 I2S copper cable to Tubulus Ximius with my Denafrips Gaia, the difference was staggeringly obvious. Now I'm not going to tell you a $1500 I2... | |
| What would you save in a fire? Depends on how much time I'm given to evacuate. Financial documents and money for sure, same for my cats. As for stereo, given enough time its all coming although fitting the Klipschorns into my cars would be impossible. If I have only minutes the... | |
| Let's talk about Silver... I have copper, tin plated copper, silver plated copper, pure silver, silver/gold cables in my system, assuming your cables provide top level resolution/transparency, cable are tuning devices for tonality. Quality silver provides refinement rather ... | |
| Setting up stereo Rel subwoofers…. I have two REL, easiest setup for subs, have to be inside speakers as I have Klipschorns. Clicks or crossover point will be highly variable per speakers and room. I disconnected yellow on both, excessive bass with both red/yellow/signal wires.... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT So there seems to be a lot of discussion about I2S vs usb here. I have my own experience which favors I2S but not going to extrapolate this is universal for all setups. I2S does have inherent advantages in that it is native signal path in dacs, it... | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? I was only stuck in certain genres in my adolescent years, living in an area with multiple universities meant virtually all genres of music played and performed locally. I might attend classical music concerts and hard core rock concerts all in t... | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? I remember the days when there were any number of local or near local dealers with whom I could home demo for free (security deposit required), certainly a valuable service. I too see many possible negatives with this, I'd never be one on either s... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT Listen to the Taiko Olympus and report back. I've heard differences with every single streamer I've had in my system, extremely important streaming component. Issue is full potential of any streamer won't be heard if rest of streaming chain not u... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS I've built my system for my own pleasure, whether it meets some other person's objective or subjective criteria for quality doesn't phase me in the least. Have to admit in my younger days there were times when I let other's dictate my choices. As ... | |
| Streamer output options Implementation of interfaces needs to be taken on a case by case basis. How can anyone state categorically any single interface is the best. Usb optimization varies greatly across both streamers and dacs. I2S not offered on a great number of strea... |
