| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I have an Ayon S10 mkll Signature for sale if anyone is interested? probably not the comment you were looking for, captainsteve? 😊 | |
| Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One? Have you looked at the HoloAudio May DAC KTE? It is established as the current competitor for Hugo + M Scaler but will cost you quite a lot less. | |
| streamer need........... I recently picked up a pre-owned Antipodes EX for £2,000 (new they were £4,500) and very happy - it cleans noise on the incoming ethernet and outputs via USB or ethernet but can be expanded. It's quite a versatile unit which can be used in lots o... | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer I recently bought a second hand Antipodes EX for £2,000 - they are £4,000 new. It is a very high end piece of kit and can operate in lots of different ways streamer/server/roon end point. The EX came out in 2018 so it's still up-to-date tech and... | |
| Preamp/DAC Suggestions sorry, just noting that the May L2 does not have a pre amp however, the Holo Spring 3 DAC does have pre amp and is close to the May L2 in terms of SQ. it's also a bit cheaper! | |
| Preamp/DAC Suggestions Holo May DAC L2. Check out reviews from Golden Sound and others. One of the most highly praised DAC's in the last few years. I don't own and have not heard this DAC but when you research, it is clear this is the one to buy! Good luck. | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? To be clear, I am using only ethernet connection throughout the digital path. The EX runs very cool. | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? An alternative to the etherregen is an Antipodes EX which you can find pre-owned for around £2,000. The EX has more functionality than than the EtherRegen given that it can also work as a Roon End point and server, but i use it only as a renderer... | |
| Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue? ....and clean the speaker cable contacts! | |
| Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue? in my experience, harsh or bright systems are the result of: 1. noisy power supply 2. noisy networks (for digital) The solutions are: 1. A mains power conditioner (PSM 156 is a great option) or mains regenerator if affordable. 2. An audiop... | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS correction: I was running a NUC+LPS to my DAC with ethernet, via a Bonn 8 network switch. | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS I was running a NUC+LPS directly into my DAC via ethernet. I then bought a second hand Antipodes EX for £2,000 (£4,500 new) which acts as a renderer (but can also be roon core and streamer) between the NUC and the DAC. It has 2 ethernet ports so ... | |
| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! 1. Ethernet. 2. USB. Add an audiophile switch e.g. Bonn 8 or English (something) with a LPS. | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated +1 Holo Audio Spring / May - I am tempted to buy one (£3-4k?), even though I have not heard one and my current pre/amp DAC retails at nealry £10k (Ayon). There is a huge amount of positive feedback on this product. | |
| Network Switches I recently tried a black QSA fuse (£40) in the mains plug which feeds the LPS to my Bonn 8 Silent Angel router. I really was not expecting anything, having previously added a black fuse to the LPS which feeds my Roon server and heard no difference... |
