| Solo streamer Yeah, I’d second the Innuos Pulse both for excellent sound quality and its outstanding Sense app, and they also offer great customer service if ever needed. | |
| Speaker question The Usher Dancer Mini Two at $5290 is a very high quality speaker for the $ with custom drivers and beautiful build/finish, and it will do many of the same things as the ProAcs. I believe this seller offers a return policy if they don’t work out, ... | |
| Judging speakers to purchase. Hoping to discover more regarding the sound that the speaker has. Thin, forward, bottom heavy...feel free to use words like rich midrange and organic sounding and realistic presentation... Transparent, balanced, and natural sounding with a beli... | |
| Solo streamer What’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality As others mentioned, particularly in your situation the first thing I’d do is try a filter before your Lumin. This SmoothLAN filter has been getting pretty rave reviews on another thread here, and at $254 with a trial period I’d consider this an ... | |
| Preamp or DAC I’d start with the preamp for the biggest absolute level of improvement, and the Spatial Audio Raven (Sachs/Olson design), Aric Motherload, and Backert Rhumba Extreme would all be great choices and believe all three offer a trial period, which is ... | |
| Small footprint subwoofer I’d add the SVS SB1000 Pro to your list as it’s small but still has a 12” driver and goes down to an honest 20Hz (-3dB), and you can get two for less than the price of one of the REL or KEF subs mentioned — I’d definitely get two as it’s always si... | |
| Small Discrepancies in Speaker Placement I’d think it has more to do with eliminating toe in than the half inch one speaker is now closer to the side wall. You could simply just toe them in again in their current positions and see what happens, and my guess is the disappearing act will ... | |
| Judging speakers to purchase. That I don’t feel like I’m listening to speakers at all. | |
| Interconnects priority By George I think he’s got it! | |
| Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2 I’d strongly consider adding something like a Hermes DDC and using the i2S connection. I added an Iris to my R2R DAC using i2S and the level of improvement was like upgrading to a better DAC. Background noise I didn’t know was there was cleared ... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced Digital Cables I suppose it could vary depending on how the equipment is designed, but from what I’ve read a balanced connection is the preferred digital connection in general unless you have i2S as an option. | |
| Interconnects priority To format something as a quote just copy/paste what you want into the text box, and then with the cursor at the end of that sentence/paragraph click the quote icon at the top if the text box and that’s it (or maybe you can highlight the text and h... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks Congrats and enjoy! | |
| Interconnects priority In my experience the closer to the source the more important/impactful the interconnect can be. If one interconnect is better/more resolving than the other then put that one on the source. That’s how it works best in my system anyway. Hope this... |
