| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles @carlsbad @vonhelmholtz Whatever their motivation, and I’m not exactly a Sony fan, what’s the harm of putting recycled bottles into earbuds rather than a landfill? I’ve got shoes that were also made from recycled plastic and have served me very we... | |
| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? They’re largely different designs. Yes, on paper SVS will deliver more deep bass per $ and sound quite good doing it properly set up, which is now much easier with their Pro series that includes integration software. Rel prefers to run off the spe... | |
| A question about headphones I like rich base. Do open-back designs lack this? I have heard ’bright’ and a lack of base. With the latest, better open-back designs I don’t think you’ll be at all disappointed at either end of the spectrum and whatever little you might give u... | |
| A question about headphones I can’t see that open-back headphones appeal to me. I am about 20’ away from my rig and although I would consider a cable, what’s the consensus on BT headphones or a combo BT / cabled? If you can’t have any sound leaking out of the headphones a... | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 How’s the Iris? Worth the five bills? Have been considering a Pontus II but only if it doesn't "need" a DDC @steven5737 I wouldn’t look at it like that. If you read reviews the Pontus ll is more than capable of standing on its own as is my Pe... | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers Would be best though if iFi would update their devices to work better on Wi-Fi in the first place, since that functionality is part of their marketing to consumers @moonwatcher Amen brother, I’m right there with ya. And I’ll add their comple... | |
| Aurender N20 I'm use to rejection...I'm married. Heh heh. At least she didn’t reject you getting the wonderful N20. | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers When I heard that, I stopped watching. I don't have an easy or elegant way to feed an Ethernet cable into my listening room, so a solid wireless connection is paramount to me. @cwatters0 @moonwatcher A way to both get around the Wi-Fi issu... | |
| Little Giant NOS DAC mini review Digital is plagued with audible distortion! I’d submit that streaming music from your computer is the source of the problem — computers are the noisiest digital source you could possibly use. I’d suggest investing in something like an iFi Zen S... | |
| SMc DNA-1 Power Block Upgrade I’m about to get my upgraded DNA 0.5 amp back and just wanted to share my experience FWIW. I was just going to go with the basic upgrade, but after speaking with Pat I added the gravity base and purple fuses given the significant performance incr... | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers If one follows these guidelines, digital audio will reach the USB DAC ’bit-perfect’, as Denon calls it. It can’t get any more perfect than that can it? Ugh. 🙄 | |
| To preamp or not to preamp. That is the question. Yes, Bryston is very well made in Our Home and Native Land with a 20-year warranty. | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers @rudyb Its fine you’re happy with your Node, but don’t come in here overconfidently spewing crap you think you “know” when you’ve obviously no idea what you’re talking about. That might fly on ASR or Reddit, but people here are more knowledgeable ... | |
| Speaker upgrade What are your current speakers, what improvements are you looking for, what sound characteristics are most important to you, and what’s your budget? | |
| Experienced only: What have you done with room correction? @bpoletti I’ve heard live ficus trees produce a more natural sound. Heh heh. |
