| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer Dr. Patrick Gleeson personally tutored me in analog synthesizer programming at Different Fur Trading Company in San Francisco, the studio Patrick co-owned with Chief Engineer John Vieira. John upgraded their Studer half-track half-inch 15 ips mast... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer @lalitk @Roon users have a clear understanding on how to maximize ROON potential beyond the SOTA interface. I’m a minimalist, so I prefer a one box ROON system and IS-1 is clearly not a one box solution for ROON users. For most people, this may... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer @lalitk “But there are some guys that will shoot it down without hearing it.” There is a valid reason to do so, IS-1 is a half-baked product for ROON users. It appears to be designed targeted for audiences who prefers Audirvana. And that’s ok!... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer @lalitk I am in Texas and I appreciate the demo offer but any Roon based streamer with a requirement to maintain external CORE hardware is a non-starter for me. I don’t see any valid argument why core + renderer can’t be properly implemented ... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer My Infigo IS-1 (Infigo Streamer 1) drives my Infigo Method 4 DAC. I am an 80 minute drive NE of Salt Lake City. I’d love someone to bring their $20k Antipodes K50 streamer or $30k Taiko Extreme streamer to AB vs. IS-1. Ditto, any cost no object DA... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer Someone above suggested comparing IS-1 with Aurender's N200, approximately $6300. The OP later typed the IS-1 replaced a $12k Aurender N20; an N200 comparison seems moot. Based on my European friend's experience who AB tested a Mele-based DI... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Audiogon Discussion Forum The best and better performing dedicated streamers outperform any known consumer over the counter computer including cost-no-object Mac. Search results on this subject including appropriate AB tests supports this opinio... | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II Thanks, laginz. Those are powerful comments Re. Son II. For those familiar with SST Son/Bongiorno: how long do you estimate it takes (playing music) for a very cold Son to achieve about 80% of its best potential sound quality? It is mind-bogg... | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II Laginz: thanks for your comment. If possible, please list a brief note comparing your Son II to any other amp readers may find interesting. Did you ever AB test Son/Bongo vs. your Son II/Sarmento? If anyone has done that, please post your thoughts... | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II I was an assembler for a certain speaker brand; the CEO of that speaker company was one of Bongo’s biggest industry supporters. Bongo premiered his new SST/Ampzilla 2000 V1 mono at THE Show with this speaker company, IIRC in the year 2000. I owne... | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II I find it quite strange to read such detailed comments about certain amplifiers when the amplifiers mentioned by name do not exist. All "Son of Ampzilla" amplifiers under the SST and/or "Ampzilla 2000" badge are stereo amplifiers with absolutely ... | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 I cannot and shall not have any general conclusion. I shall say though that HQ Player upscaling all PCM to DSD only using HQ Player author Miska's specific recommended modulator (requires high power dedicated computer) > T+A DAC 200 ($7150 USD... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 My system comprises only world-class components; the speaker system is 2 levels beyond a model that AV Showrooms and Enjoy the Music awarded Best of Show @ 2022 FLAX. I have heard the $100k dCS rack and also the $85k MSB rack. IMO HQ Player (abou... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @ johnh Thank you for your fantastic post. Surely this type of post with so much personal experience with a good number of the most relevant currently produced amps is literally the definition of advice that "money can't buy." No pro review I'v... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @fsonicsmith I...commented that the parts could not justify the price. What exactly and specifically is the parts cost? Did the deleted post contain an exact and specific accounting of the parts cost? What date was that accounting performed? ... |
