| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? For me the transition from blues based rock to AOR was when my transition to other genres began. From that point on felt like outlier to the masses, disco vs rock never a concern of mine, I attended both disco clubs and went to hard core concerts,... | |
| Does upgrading you system have to be on a logarithmic curve? @shanesrain No harm, no foul. Stay away from anger and politics and you'll be fine. | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer Whenever I see posts for advice on specific streaming hardware to purchase, the amazing variety of advice given makes me think a whole lot of people believe their streaming setups are providing great sound quality. Not here to dispute that, I take... | |
| OK...here's another tweak that really works It's fine to discuss the merits or lack thereof of any individual product, but why the character assassination? I suppose judgement fits need to construct human hierarchy pyramid with them on top. | |
| Does upgrading you system have to be on a logarithmic curve? This is rather amusing, quite a wordsmith. | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? @vonhelmholtz You laid out the reasons, wise choice in my estimation. | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? To write off all SET in this manner is total nonsense. I've had ss class A and AB, push pull tubes with various power tubes, and SET with various power tubes. Low, medium and hgih sensitivity speakers with the above. So, it seems my evolution towa... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 Very informative comparison, thank you! While I don't have a comparison dac at present, I hear some of the qualities you mentioned in regard to 005. My sound stage not deepest I've heard, some relatively recent upgrades, tweaks hav... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? Router connects to server via AQ Vodka ethernet cable, server out connects to first in line FMC via AQ Vodka ethernet cable. @fredrik222 Obvious listening not your cup of tea, how you getting along over at audiophilestyle forum? | |
| Which Ethernet filter? My experience has been both up and down with ethernet and optical, I agree, depends on implementation. At this point I prefer optical post server, ethernet pre server. I did try generic FMC prior to server, heard presentation similar to audphile1,... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? Well, certainly there is bidirectionality on ethernet between router and server, router needs to know server there. The difference is information from music player (Roon in my case) doesn't follow that path, it goes out second ethernet port direct... | |
| Roon Core Server Player Good for you! Next, lps for the NUC, you'll like! Hate to say this, as you just finished NUC build, but you can go even further with I7 or I9 and best quality ssd. Whatever, enjoy what you have! You should also turn off any analysis on Roo... | |
| Does upgrading you system have to be on a logarithmic curve? I experienced only incremental changes for around twenty years building a number of systems. At one point I assumed this was how things would be far into future. Then things suddenly changed with the addition of some rather peripheral equipment, i... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? @emergingsoul You have that correct, one ethernet in, one out. Most servers have one ethernet port in which case you bidirectional flow back and forth to router or switch. Doing this I've avoided an extra piece of equipment, in my case server>F... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? Another consideration. Many new innovations with streaming equipment, highly likely it will only improve over time. Should we expect cd transports are going to evolve in similar fashion? |
