| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit Uh, CDs are digital. | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit Well, weeding through all this good info — and thank you so much for sharing your experience — I’ve gotta get a hard-wired streamer and also upgrade my switch. How would something like an Optical Rendu factor into this equation? As a long-time ... | |
| Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout. Silverline Minuet Grand LSA-10 Statement If you can stretch, I think the Joseph Audio Prism, Usher Dancer Mini X, and Reference 3A MM deCapo are excellent speakers that are sorely lacking in reviews and fly under the radar. Look forward to you... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit I used to use a dongle and when I switched to a hard wired streamer the sound quality drastically improved. So, @vanson1 you seem to have a similar experience to mine. What streamer did you find was a big improvement over streaming through iD... | |
| Clocking: again! In our hobby everything matters and we are only at the very beginning of optimizing streaming. Amen brother. It’s a brave new world. I just realized streaming Qobuz through my iPad even with upgraded cables falls short of just playing a damn ... | |
| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R I’d recommend MHDT Orchid or, if you run balanced, the Pagoda — both tubed R2R DACs and neither likely to tweak your tinnitus. Not sure, but they might offer a trial period. | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit Ok. Let’s cut to the chase here. Who’s used their i devices as WiFi streamers and upgraded to something wired or otherwise that was significantly better than using their iDevices. | |
| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R +1 @fuzztone and others above. It’s not the architecture but rather the whole implementation and how it works for your system and tastes. That said, IN GENERAL and just to give you a VERY basic guideline to go by, Delta-sigma DACs will tend to ha... | |
| Looking for speaker wire (bi-wired) suggestions for two types of speakers Good wires are similar unless we are talking solid silver wires. Uh, what? | |
| Need new headphone setup. Just pulled a reverse and cancelled the Sennheiser and spent a lot more on the AUDEZE. I love you man! Which model did you get? I hate to say it, but they will scale up considerably with a better amp/DAC, but the Cobalt will definitely be a g... | |
| Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system? I am just concerned that the ADA conversion will loose the original SQ. There are TONS of variables involved in this question. I’d say do what you can with room treatments and then give some form of good DSP a try and see how it works in your ... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Olympica II Go Luxman! That’s a really nice integrated. | |
| Looking for speaker wire (bi-wired) suggestions for two types of speakers I have both a single run of AZ Satori and shotgun, and I prefer the shotgun versus the single run with good jumpers by a good margin. But that’s in my system with my speakers so YMMV. Just my experience FWIW. | |
| How Big of a Difference? What speakers are you using? | |
| Need help choosing Sonus Faber Sonetto V or VIII, what amp? There are some other highly-regarded integrateds out there well within your budget. I’ll mention the Octave v70SE and Audio Hungary Qualition, neither of which will likely trigger any brightness issues but will bring your SFs into full song with ... |
