| Streamer question All I really want is a better streamer and I'd like the option of using the Spotify app or the Qobuz app and not proprietary software, i.e., "Conductor." I use the Qobuz app, but from what I’ve read from others the Innuos Sense app is much bett... | |
| i2s Cable for Denafrips Iris -> Pontus? Congrats! As I always say — don’t matter how you get there, just that you get there. Goodonya for not giving up and sticking with it, and now you reap the rewards of your effort. Would be interesting to hear if you heard more difference improvi... | |
| Is my amp good enough? Agree with others to let the speakers (and your ears) settle in and see if the sound is pointing you in another direction and go from there. I remember your Silver 8s to be pretty solid speakers, so I’d pay close attention when auditioning the Go... | |
| Streamer question Not so sure about others, but the Innuos Sense app gets very high marks for both usability and sound quality so maybe that’s one to look into. | |
| What specs to look for in 25' HDMI cable I’d just try something like this for about $26 (4k braided version) and just see how it works for you. Seems pretty well built and capable of doing whatever you’re looking for, and at the very least you can compare it to pricier cables to see if ... | |
| Any recommendation for a CD changer? Just stop. Stop with the CD changer that’s like 30 years old technology. Just get something like this, load all your CDs into it and be done with it. And if it gets you into streaming eventually so much the better. https://www.usaudiomart.co... | |
| Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system I want to take my high end system to become a flexible HD AV system, but do not know how or what is needed to bring it together. I do, but I’ll be damned if I share any of my knowledge with the likes of you. Later dude. I’ll let someone else t... | |
| DAC as pre amp My DAC has at least twice the signal boost of the preamp and I have tried using the DAC to biamp directly to the speakers with acceptable results. Uh. What? You use your DAC to bi-amp speakers directly? What DAC/amp exactly are you using? | |
| Newbie help with headphone gift choice. Yeah, you want some higher sensitivity ‘phones if he’s driving them off a laptop or tablet. First, you did some good research and identified some really good candidates at the price point. Hard to say without knowing your brother’s sound prefere... | |
| Integrating video streaming into a dedicated audiophile system AWOL? Absent without leave? Are you looking to build a center channel and surround channels into this? What do you have for an AVP or do you even want one? Really a lot of missing info here. Please put in a little more effort/info to help us ... | |
| Need a new integrated, what say you? I’d splurge a little for this nice Hegel H190… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650036672-hegel-h190/ Id also give the Belles Aria integrated a look. Best of luck. | |
| Fyne Audio F502 or Sonus Faber Sonetto V If these Joseph Audio speakers are still available they’d give you what you’re looking for and save you some good $$$. They completely disappear and throw off a deeeep 3D soundstage like few other speakers, and they have lots of detail/air but pr... | |
| I2S cable recommendations Nice DDC BTW! I think u gonna be way happy with the results. | |
| Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC +1 @hilde45 Very well stated. In a similar vein I’ve also found I want my best and least colored cables more toward my source components and do more “shaping” of the sound more downstream. Like Linn says (heavily paraphrased), you can’t replace wh... | |
| Newbie help with headphone gift choice. What’s your budget? Also, would he prefer closed- or open-back ‘phones? Closed-back seal out sound from getting in or out while open-backed ‘phones allow outside noise in and also leak sound out into the room. I much prefer the sound of the lat... |
