| Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise I also have the Innuos zenith mk3 streamer and concurr the sense app is terrific. However, my Innuos does not support wifi, it is strictly ethernet connection, so no good for the OP’s situation. There’s an easy workaround by using either a Wi-F... | |
| Question for Lyngdorf owners I’d contact Lyngdorf directly just to be sure you’re getting the right info. | |
| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? You might consider this Zen Mk3 for $2k instead of the Mini as it’s better overall, you won’t need to buy the LPS, and you don’t need the Mini’s DAC. I think you’re making great choices with both the Innuos and the Pontus BTW and think you’ll be v... | |
| Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise As others have mentioned, the Node is a mismatch in your system and a bottleneck to your streaming performance so no wonder you’re underwhelmed. I’d recommend looking at Innuos because they’re great streamers and their Sense app gets very high ma... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? I’d try to demo a tube preamp at home if at all possible. | |
| Electronics for Harbeths -- $5-10K I know you said you want solid state, but given the sound qualities you’re looking for I immediately thought of a hybrid integrated amp and specifically the Unison Unico Due. It’s only got a couple small tubes in the preamp section and is very lo... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing I don’t have a fixed budget. Something in the 3-6K region sounds reasonable to me to be a MID-STEP. But again, that is part of the question I am asking. If there is nothing shy of a $10k investment to make the move up...well...that is what I woul... | |
| Shipping woes and a partial solution That’s great info. Thanks! | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Hey guys, is there any way on this forum to put one clueless barking bozo (who follows me around on threads like a rabid creature) in a permanent ignore blackhole? Yeah. Stop posting clueless and silly crap like what you’ve been posting here. T... | |
| DAC's from the past, are any of them really worth much today? DACs have come really far and really fast of late. While you may be able to find a jewel from yesteryear from the likes of Wadia, etc., why, when there are so many excellent options out there today at relatively very reasonable prices with USB in... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing Lots of good info and nice system, but what’s your budget and are you looking for new or used? | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? On the same note, don't be fooled by the misinformation and the fact that some of these insanely featured high quality prepros are still offered at "relatively affordable" prices (compared to purist gear). They are heavily subsidized for you by ... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? You seem that to think that as you keep spending on the powersupply, caps, parts quality or whatever (facepalm) till you hit a 100k, sonic nirvana will continue to flow expansively like the Niagara beyond any limits of perceptibility. @deep_3... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Raidho XT-2 Your speakers are rated at 87dB and 4 Ohms, and it’s probably a good bet they drop below 4 Ohms somewhere in the upper bass/lower mids. I’d be concerned running them with a 90Wpc tube integrated, but maybe you can get some feedback from some other... | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? He also didn’t read the part where i mentioned that the dude’s upgrade path should go to a Yamaha flagship prepro (since he has a hybrid stereo/multichannel setup), which holds its own against any preamp out there. @deep_333 So, a $2700 pre pro... |
