| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @guakus Got it. Par for the course with cable threads, reason I mentioned finding them rather worthless. I have no problem with anything you've said. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 Hope I understand correctly volume control is analog based with Briscati, reason I mentioned possible replacement of preamp, of course, only for single source, that being streaming with Briscati. @dbb 005 certainly has advantage in tha... | |
| Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance @guakus Wow, I'm shaming and belittling, I think not. Nothing i stated in post was an objective pronouncement on worthlessness of commercial cables! I simply stated my own experience with cables and my present view. Also, when I speak of diy I... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Really not comparing $11k to $3k here. Briscati or any other streaming dac may have better price/performance ratio than perceived at first glance. For instance, I have around $6k in streaming exclusive components, brings my actual cos... | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp @oddiofyl I took similar path in procuring my 300B monoblocks, custom build is nice way to go. Especially like to choose build off menu of options, looks like you made some good choices, like that amp. | |
| Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable @mike_in_nc I find it difficult to assign a reason for sound signature with ethernet cables as well. In any case, can't say I've heard one. I can understand the cat 8 being inferior as it transfer noise via ground plane. On the other hand, cable i... | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) @jbhiller Barriers to entry much less today than ever, I agree may be more difficult to find the cream only due to much larger catalog to choose from. On the other hand, easier than ever to find the cream with streaming, one can sample great numbe... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Forgot to add one point. Ok, being mindful of the increased analog like presentation I'm getting via continual streaming upgrades. The difference between Briscati and 005 could be due to SOLELY due to streaming chain differences. I'd expect B... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 Very nice comparison and interpretations! While I don't have the experience of your comparison, I pretty much agree with your evaluation of 005. I certainly hear the relative forward sound stage, and that has always stayed consistent ... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? Nyev gets it, do it right way from beginning of chain, no need to waste money on band aids. | |
| Antipodes K50 I'm extremely picky in regard to servers, to the point I'm in midst of extreme high end diy build. If I weren't going in this direction, K50 would be right up there for off the shelf. Antipodes is one of few companies with extremely competent engi... | |
| Tweaking the network, surprising results… Yep, your experience mirrors mine. I now have lps on every component, my best power cords, everything goes into my BPT transformer based PC. I gave up on switches some time ago, diminished sound quality vs my lps powered Netgear Nighthawk. Mak... | |
| Isn't it really about quality of recording? I have long time friend, guy had first high end audio system I ever had the pleasure to hear, how I became addicted. Anyway, he eventually became audio engineer and now owns a sound reinforcement company. Over time he left audio hobby for the prod... | |
| Analog vs. digital Done with the discussion of measurements vs sensory perception. Neither of us build commercially, I'm a curious diy, have been long building my own general purpose computers, thought I'd give music server computer a try. Bang for the buck is o... | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) @tylermunns While I understand the attachment to physical media, I have well over 3500 vinyl. Isn't the true intrinsic value of recordings the music itself? As far as the business model of streaming, don't blame it on streaming, nothing inhere... |
