| What exactly is PRaT??? A please define for me what "imaging" and "3D soundstage" mean. In relation to what? And why are they important? @dogearedaudio You and I are clearly on different planets when it comes to sound. If you don’t understand what imaging and 3D s... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? Seriously? What could be more essential to the performing arts than pace, rhythm and timing? And what could be more easily comprehensible? Pace is the speed, rhythm is the repetitive beat, timing is the emphasis. @dogearedaudio Why is it that ... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? So far no one has been able to give a reasonable objective definition of it that folks agree upon and makes sense to the folks trying to understand which says to me that no one really knows what it is. @jastralfu Bingo!!! That’s exactly what I... | |
| Streamer for LTA Aero Thank you, zlone. My main caution with Innuos is the quantity of posts with owners describing the number of ancillaries they added to attain optimal SQ. What are you even talking about here? You can add an LPS to something like a Zen Mini or Pu... | |
| Add a subwoofer? Thanks to all who offered their thoughts on this. I went with one SVS SB 1000. Easy to tinker with settings through the app. Huge positive change in my system. I can see where 2 would be peachy, but down the road maybe. Don’t think I could go bac... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? One question: do you experience some systems as more rhythmically engaging than others? @stuartk No. I do not. A system either plays music the way I perceive it or it does not. If a system truncates highs, sounds bleached or lacking in tone, o... | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay I think the new Denafrips Pontus 15th would be well worth a try. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? WhatHiFi is, IMO, one of the more reliable review sites and they devote a fair portion of every review talking about the equipment’s ability convey joy and rhythm, and generally a good musical experience. Nothing wrong with that. @dogearedaudio... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @danager Great song. How does that tell me absolutely anything about PRaT??? My system sounds great playing that song so what EXACTLY makes a better PRaT system sound better doing that? I mean, as a drummer you’re either on the beat or you’re not... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? Well, if this thread has taught me anything it’s that this thing called PRaT is pretty indescribable in words and is just a “feel” thing I just apparently don’t — and probably never will — get or care about. I appreciate all your attempts to educ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, there's a lot more to satisfying sonics than PRaT. @stuartk +1 I know some people who are big into PRaT and I confess I just don’t get it. Give me tonality and a good 3D soundstage and I’m a happy c... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? The benefits I appreciate from a DDC are galvanic isolation, multiple output choices to my DACs, and lower jitter. I have owned the Hermes and now the SU-6, and I am curious what criteria you believe makes one DDC SOTA and others not? Not arguin... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Well, that’s your individual anecdotal opinion, but I’m not sure how credible that statement really is. @lanx0003 I never said anything about the improvement the power supply made to my Zen Stream because I never used the stock power supply so... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? If a system already has a clean digital source, like the iFi Zen Stream, which excels in minimizing jitter and electrical noise (see below) as compared to the state-of-the-art DDC like Singxer SU-6 and Holo Red, adding a DDC could indeed be redun... | |
| Ohm owners: What headphones do you use? Although I can’t say if they sound like Ohm speakers, I think these Hifiman Organic ‘phones tick all the boxes you listed and are fairly easy to drive so should be ok initially with your preamp’s headphone output. Here’s a review that does a nice... |
