| 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. | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers @soix Let me first say there’s no need for us to quarrel...I use a Bluesound Node Mk2 with my main system. @rudyb Wow, a Node Mk2!!! I can certainly see why you think you don’t have a noise problem. Good luck with that. Heh heh. I refer to @ghd... | |
| DAC Input Topology Congrats on purchasing an outstanding piece of technology! | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers Let me rephrase ... I know that not to be the case. A 'high end' streamer still streams the same digital data to my DAC as my tablet or PC or Bluesound Node does. If I suffered from noise, I'd invest a little in an optical cable, or a galvanic s... |
