| What is an easy way to convert wav files to Flac? Also, I believe Exact Copy will convert for you. A lifetime license is about $7 and it makes an exact WAV or FLAC file from your CD. I haven't used it to convert one format to another but you might give it a try. | |
| What is an easy way to convert wav files to Flac? You have another problem other than the file format. Roon should have no problem with WAV files, I use them all the time. Is hard drive space a problem? WAV does take up some HD space. I would contact the Roon service folks and discuss the p... | |
| Preamp thoughts- Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 V McIntosh C2600 In general, I prefer the CJ products over the McIntosh but I would have no problem putting a McIntosh tube amp in my system, which currently has CJ tube's. | |
| Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts? I can't comment on the models you mentioned, as I have not heard them in any setting. But I will say, never but never buy a DAC that is not 32 bit / 384KHz compatible, has a Femto Clock with very low jitter, and can handle any format shoved into... | |
| Nordost Heimdall 2 vs Wireworld Eclipse 8 vs Jorma Trinity Speaker Cable? Given everything you listed I think the only option for you is to try them and experiment. Some cable retailers let you audition them for either free or a nominal fee. | |
| Different volumes streaming Spotify That is because each recording is made at different volume levels and different amounts of compression. You are not doing anything wrong. The ideal case is Spotify modify their app so when you play a song at a volume level you like, it remembers... | |
| Phono line on receiver is always live. If you simply touched the outside of the shell on the cable, it should not make any noise. If it does, then you need a new cable because it is either defective or an incredibly poor design. | |
| This website has become S-L-O-W I have seen it as well. Perhaps the most recent Windows update had something to do with it as I just did the update and my CAD package seems to run slower. Then again, this is the only website that is slow on my machine. | |
| preamp for CJ premier 11A power amp I have a PV10 with phono stage and it excels with the Premier Five's. I would think any decent tube preamp would make them shine. | |
| Hafler effect setup - any concerns for a "ParasoundZonemaster2350" p-amp (or in general) Just thinking outside the box here - you might consider a second amplifier in a Class AB design just to handle the ambience. It doesn't have to be very powerful since you are subtracting the signals to get the ambience. A fifth to a quarter of ... | |
| PC manufacturers? I'd say it is personal preference. Take a generic 16g cable, swap it, and determine if that particular cable upgrade makes a suitable sound improvement. If not, sell it, and use the 16g cable until you find something that does work to your pref... | |
| Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to remote stereo system over WIFI - I don't have a Node 2i but I do have two Node 2's. With the Node 2, the Wi-Fi reception was downright lousy. It worked okay if it was a few feet away but more than 8 feet reception became pretty bad and some days it didn't work at all. It does... | |
| Origin Live company support Good information here. I was talking to OL about a new turntable motor but all I got was vague information and "Buy it, if it doesn't work out, return it." Seems like I would be the guy who is doing the R&D to see how it works out rather th... | |
| Best Digital Music Server A lot of good suggestions here. I do recommend you get something that is Roon compatible, it is just too useful a database to skip that feature. Even if you don't plan to use it now, you can get a free trial and you might prefer it. Exact Co... | |
| Using medical ethernet isolator (MI 1005) for Network streamer ? It is a good idea and certainly won't hurt anything. I'd give it a try and see what you think. The price seems right to experiment. Galvanic isolation is almost always a good thing. |
