| Speaker cable advice Aftermarket cables for headphones is an easy way to test silver vs copper cables. I've done it before and there is a difference.I think you’re a bit out of your depth here. Silver cables can sound like copper and vice versa — all depends on the o... | |
| Some advice please.... Limited $$ what should I spend on FIRST? I think you’ll have a much more rewarding HT experience going with the projector and $2300 amp. Plus you can buy the amp used and sell it for little loss when you’re ready to upgrade to a better amp. I wouldn’t get an ML center to pair with Thiel ... | |
| Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?) Would help to know what speakers you’re using now. I’d probably avoid most tower speakers in your situation as the drivers may not have the time to integrate before the sound reaches your ears. I’d look at a good monitor like the Joseph Audio Puls... | |
| Speaker cable advice There’s an 8ft pair of Acoustic Zen Satori cables on US AudioMart for only $350. Grab’em — you’ll be thrilled. | |
| I am no longer getting MQA? It’s a little ironic that Qobuz, a French company, isn’t available in Canada where about 20% of the population speaks French but is available in the US where hardly anyone speaks French and 20% of US-born citizens can barely speak English. | |
| Lyngdorf MP-50 Alternative @nekoaudioYeah I know, and that’s what I was going to suggest he do. But he also seems to want room correction in 2-channel, and that’s where this thing goes off the rails with using a separate DAC. I’m not sure the OP knows exactly what he’s aski... | |
| I am no longer getting MQA? Congrats! What a great opportunity to try a free Qobuz subscription and rid yourself of the absurdly intrusive and burdensome MQA menace. | |
| Lyngdorf MP-50 Alternative @nekoaudiothe OP is looking for a surround sound processor that has room correction and digital outputThat’s not what he said...I love the sound and the flexibility of the unit however it doesn’t have analog inputs, and I would really like to have... | |
| Lyngdorf MP-50 Alternative Sure, but if you’re pumping the stereo DAC’s output back into room correction that’s going to re-digitize it then you’re no longer getting the sound of the 2-channel DAC. That’s why I initially asked if the OP was using room correction with 2-cha... | |
| Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute I switched from Tidal to Qobuz and am much happier all around. I also think MQA is an overly intrusive sham and want no part of it. | |
| Marantz AV7706 vs Yamaha CX-A5200 - Stereo DACs quality Does the Oppo even output a digital SACD signal? The DAC is only one part of the larger equation, and the electronics all around the DAC will have a larger impact on the kind of sound you’ll end up hearing. If you want a more neutral, detailed s... | |
| Lyngdorf MP-50 Alternative This is a dual use system, 2 channel and HT. So yes, I need room correction. I understand it’s a dual-use system. I’m just wondering what’s the point of using an external DAC if you’re using it with room correction? | |
| Need Preamp Recommendation what is your preference sonically to mate with (class A) SS?Who cares? The only thing that matters are your preferences. What sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| New to Integrated stereo tube amps @joeyga — Nicely done. Not at all surprised you’re thrilled with the sound. Great stuff. Enjoy! | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Ah crap, I meant Silverline Minuets, not Preludes. Sorry. |
