| Room Too Dead What is “pipe and drape?” Can you post a picture? | |
| USB Cable - A to B DH Labs and no more. I’ve got Lavri, AQ, WW, Morrow and I’m sticking with that rec. @fuzztone What does this even mean? | |
| New to Streaming No. They’ve been saying they’re implementing hi-res streaming for years but it’s never materialized and not clear how good it’ll be if/when they do or how expensive it’ll be. The favorite hi-res streaming service here is Qobuz, so I’d give that ... | |
| Let's Talk DAC's If you are only interested in DACs that you can buy from a local source and test drive, then you can ignore both Musician and Denafrips. Can’t speak for Denafrips, but you can buy Musician products through Amazon and I believe you have a retu... | |
| John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away I just hope he had a transition plan in place because it would be really sad to see such a unique and respected manufacturer again go the way of Thiel, which was just tragic. | |
| USB Cable - A to B I’d suggest considering this LavriCable USB and save $$$. For around $150/1m you get a cable that uses pure 5N silver and physically separates the data and power legs of the cable. These are features typically found only on much more expensive cab... | |
| John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away That’s so sad and a huge loss to the audio community. Was he I’ll? How old was he? | |
| Let's Talk DAC's Not at all. A digital-to-digital converter, which initially sounds superfluous, but what it does is both re-clock the data and give you the option of using different inputs on your DAC. So if you feed the DDC a USB input from your streamer you now... | |
| Let's Talk DAC's I’d add the Musician Pegasus to your list as it does all the things you’re looking for very well. It comes from the same factory as the Pontus II and shares many of the same parts/technology, but the Pegasus seems to be a little more detailed up t... | |
| Narrowing down speaker choice for home theater setup I haven’t owned any of them, so this is more of a general comment FWIW. I think the center speaker and subs are crucial to getting truly exceptional HT. You’re clearly covered in the sub dept. (great subs BTW), and for centers I’m very partial t... | |
| Another Golden Ear test. Join the club. Nobody does. | |
| The latest audiophile streamer craze I bet if you cryo treated the foil it’d sound even better. | |
| Gustard - Warranty Repair in the US? @viablex1 Why are you using the Toslink connection at all? | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers If the speakers are 10’ apart I’m not sure why you’d sit only 8.5’ from the speakers — that’s even closer than would be considered nearfield listening (i.e. an equilateral triangle). I’d experiment with moving the speakers closer together or your... | |
| Too much processing? Why? Can’t you just run another digital out or analog out from the Oppo direct into the Marantz for audio? |
