| What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get? How about a pair of Wyred 4 Sound SX1000R mono blocks they can be had for under 2k second hand. 1000 watts each. That ought to drive you out of that 12 foot square room in a hurry! No subs needed. That's pretty bad ass! | |
| Schiit Modi 3 with Google Pixel 3 Alright I'm still working through this. I found out that we need what's called an "O.T.G usb cable" stands for "On The Go". Its different than just an adapter cable. I just ordered one this morning after doing some more research. I tried using my ... | |
| The Music Room - Boulder Colorado I purchased a second hand amp from them with no problems. Hope you get some satisfaction. | |
| Schiit Modi 3 with Google Pixel 3 Though its not needed and can be added later. They are having a special on them right now though. $125. Reg $200. | |
| Schiit Modi 3 with Google Pixel 3 Yes in addition. It cleans up the usb signal feeding the dac a more pure signal to work with. Check the reviews linked on there web site. Very positive! I just got my cable and an trying to learn how to configure the phone to output audio over usb... | |
| Schiit Modi 3 with Google Pixel 3 I just looked up the Modi 3. Doesn't the included cable fit your phone? It's usb micro on the phone end and usb-C on the DAC end. usb micro and usb-C are very similar but not the same. If it doesn't fit then you probably need a usb-C to usb-C cabl... | |
| Schiit Modi 3 with Google Pixel 3 PS. To answer your question directly, yes it should work fine. And it may even sound better than your computer. I currently am using a Wyred 4 Sound bLink which is a digital reclocker for SPIDF (optical/RCA) outputs and it also has blue tooth that... | |
| Schiit Modi 3 with Google Pixel 3 I am in the process of doing the same basic thing. I’m using a LG V30 phone and am going to hook it up with a usb C to usb B cable to my Wyred 4 Sound DAC2. It is supposed to work fine. Keep in mind that the headphone jack on most devices is an an... | |
| Whats the popular brand, most musical, digital cable now? What format? I will second the Wyred 4 Sound Remedy reclocker. It improves about any digital source even my CD player sounds better through it. Computers are very electrically noisy and are not the best source for audio but the Remedy really improves their sou... | |
| Fear of Streaming I agree all my sources sound fantastic on my system. If your digital doesn’t sound as good as records then maybe a better dac is in order. That's not to say that they don't sound different, they do but I can't say that one is better just different. | |
| Upgrading my blusound streamer Yes the Innous will be in line with the quality of the rest of your system. Check the reviews. One of the best! | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) Is it consistent with all records or worse on some than others? If its the same it could be a bad or dry platter bearing. Check the bearing and see if it needs lube or if there is play in it. Also check to make sure the TT is perfectly level, meas... | |
| Fear of Streaming Hey It’s all about music however you get it. I play records, CD’s SACD’s and stream Tidal, Qobuz, Pandora and Youtube. I find the discovery of new music through streaming to be the most amazing part of it. I find myself buying more records and CD’... | |
| Preamp recommendation That would be called a surround processor. Check out Arcam they have a nice one. | |
| New Preamp arrived.... Ya as has been said give it some time to break in and yourself some time to get used to it. You don’t always notice the subtle differences right away. Things like imaging and sound field differences etc. can take time to notice. And as has been me... |
