| Little Giant NOS DAC mini review In absolute terms, digital is not, and cannot be truly accurate to the original performance in its present form. Sorry, but unless you were the recording engineer who was there for the recording process there’s just no way you could ever know t... | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers I agree with the statement that the quality of your DAC is far more important than your streamer. After all streamer just sends bits. @drbay Due respect I couldn’t disagree more. Streamers are instrumental to minimizing noise among other th... | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles @vonhelmholtz BTW, on a separate note, I’m very jealous of your Aurender N20. Congrats on an excellent acquisition! | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 @vthokie83 Well done and very interesting and useful insights. I’m on the verge of finally getting my system back up and running with the Iris feeding my Pegasus and will report back here if any interest. | |
| My Medium List of Amplifiers and my Personal Review of Each ! Very interesting stuff. Love your style of being bottom line and to the point. Looking forward to your thoughts on the Benchmarks. | |
| Time-Phase-Alignment- Point Source-Classical Musicians My speakers are very good at 3D imaging/soundstage, but I had Thiel 1.6es in my system for a bit and there was something special about what they did in that realm that I attribute to being time/phase coherent. Just my take. | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles @vonhelmholtz No prob whatsoever, and I think it’s perfectly fine we disagree. How boring would the world be if we all thought alike, and I always welcome hearing a different opinion or viewpoint because that’s how I learn. And, by the way, we’r... | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles Why must you know? @vonhelmholtz Why not know? What’s the harm? Does it hurt you in some way to know that these are made from recycled plastic? | |
| Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles I have issues with corporations and in some cases individuals promoting their degree of righteousness. @vonhelmholtz Not sure I understand why you view this as self righteousness. If they don’t tell us the buds are made of recycled plastic, ho... | |
| 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... |
