| 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... | |
| Odd subwoofer question. I’d strongly encourage you to at least try a sub as the benefits go well beyond adding bass and also greatly enhance imaging, soundstage, and overall sense of space. The SVS 1000 Pro is only about 13” square and 15” depth, will get you down to an... | |
| A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers So ... what you’re saying is that, given the same (uncompressed) source file, different streamers send different bits and bytes to the DAC? I can’t believe that to be the case. @rudyb You’re free to “believe” whatever you want, but there’s m... | |
| Is Accuphase a good match for my system? The key question is, what improvements are you looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you? Start with that rather than specific brands. |
