| Dynaudio Contour 30 or ATC SCM40 These are very different speakers and more info needed to make any kind of useful recommendation. What’s the rest of your equipment, what types of music do you listen to and how loud, what speakers do you have now and what kind of improvements ar... | |
| Susvara pre-amp and amp combination Need to know your budget and then I’ll have recommendations. | |
| Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses @edcyn Check my post above and see if clearing the cache helps — there’s a link in the post to take you to the right spot in Qobuz so you don’t have to search to find it. | |
| WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad Can someone explain why Mesh may sound better than an extender? Is it better at avoiding AC wire line noise? | |
| Susvara pre-amp and amp combination Not a lot to go on here. What’s your budget, and are you buying new or used? What kind of improvements are you looking for vs. the Keces, and what sound characteristics are most important to you in headphone listening? | |
| Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses In addition to checking your internet/WiFi speed, Qobuz forwarded this tip if experiencing the same problems you’re experiencing... Does your music sometimes get stuck, then skip to the next track? The likely cause is a cache issue. The Qobuz app... | |

| WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad @classdstreamer Thanks for all the good info! I noticed Qobuz wasn’t mentioned on the iFi Zen Stream page and was planning on asking about that. That’s a big problem for me because I’m not going to listen to dumbed-down audio through Air Play an... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy And I’ve also read and heard plenty of opinions that streaming anything more than CD quality doesn’t result in much improvement to SQ. I’d like to know where you heard/read that because I couldn’t disagree more. Switching back and forth between... | |
| What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean? I found a damp chamois to produce less shine but resulted in a more clear and neutral sound while Turtle Wax left a nice and sounded warmer but slowed the music’s pace down significantly. Never tried Meguiars | |
| XLR Female to RCA Plug Adapter Got it. That’s kinda what I figured but just wanted to know for sure. Thanks guys. | |
| WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad BTW, I don’t use Roon so that’s not an issue. | |
| WiFi streaming — streamer vs. through iPad The TP Link AC750 looks interesting to me — thanks @eugene81 @ghdprentice @audiotroy from your experience do you have any WiFi extender recommendations that have worked particularly well?. Thanks a lot guys! This has been SUPER helpful. |
