| RIP Christine McVie Seems like only yesterday she was young, I was young and listening to new releases for first time. | |
| Flat Screen Television behind speakers I helped out an individual with same problem by placing diffusors in front of tv. In that case we could stack RPG Skylines. | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? I agree, don't have to spend a fortune on streaming equipment to hear differences. I've been streaming for many years, started with most basic, laptop to dac with Foobar, been incremental improvements all along the way. | |
| Uptone EtherRegen @hilde45 I've been in this game long enough to understand and believe the logic of specifications and theroreticals, especially in regard to streaming. And this is gone into in much greater depth over at audiophilestyle.com forum. The arguments go... | |
| Vacuum Tube Break-in @jjss49 So true in regard to listener acclimation period with any new component/variable being inserted into system. This especially true when I'm already contented with system sound quality. My comfort zone is upended when something new placed i... | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? Lost my chain of thought here. I agree harshness, sense of hardness can be attributed to streaming chain and/or system. So, assuming one has rid themselves of this and still has fatigue. This is very likely fatigue due to jitter. I eliminated vast... | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? @jjss49 No doubt! One has to address both noise and jitter in order to get optimal streaming sound quality. In most cases one will have treated noise issue first since more easily addressed with more affordable devices. If still residual fati... | |
| Talk about modems @westborn Just looked at your new modem. The SB8200 has two ethernet ports, one will go to streamer, other to remote control device. Most likely you're going to have to use a laptop as this device, and it must have ethernet port, everything hard w... | |
| Talk about modems You can connect modem directly to streamer, hopefully that modem is Broadcom chip based. The only issue I see is how does your remote or control device see streamer on another network, my smartphone or tablet require wifi. Seems to me you're going... | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? @lollipopguild Amen. The one nit is high level of detail can co-exist without fatigue. This is the plateau I finally surpassed after well over 30 years of trying. Fatigue in the digital realm is caused by jitter, I'm really beginning to believe h... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl I doubt more recent posters don't get the satire, plenty of posts point to it. Unless they're not reading through thread, this is chance for them to profess their bias, can't pass up the chance. The true believer can't help themselves. | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl @sonic79 My point is while they may think they're arguing sound quality, they really aren't. Their predetermined bias has influenced their decisions of where to spend money, this unequal performance only further reinforces this predetermined bias. | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl The constant and consistent need to argue over this points to something more than technical issues, that something more being belief. Based on my observations digital detractors have issues with the entire nomenclature of how digital is implemente... | |
| Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II) It was $4.7K when I looked. Without any reviews, likely very few will take the risk, especially as price rises. I believe I was first to take risk with Musetec 005 her in US, turned out well. I'd be more tempted if 005 wasn't producing at such... | |
| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? @tk21 You got it, context is everything. @adasdad Not going to speak for ghdprentice, but my custom build streamer has been directly compared to top tier streamers such as his Aurender, Taiko Extreme, as well as to many lower tier, and it rightly... |
