| Roon ready streamer and DAC convo @davehg, Love the Lumin, but they don’t have digital coax input to hook up my CD transport. So can really use as DAC | |
| Are you troubled by the imaging of a symphony orchestra? I agree that few get it right. I listen exclusively to classical and jazz and like you love live orchestra concerts. And I feel the same way as you regarding lack of imaging. For that very reason I veered into multi channel audio—some recordings r... | |
| Pass Labs XP30 problem Never mind! Forgot to check the input to the right channel of the pre amp. Incoming rca from CD player was bad! How stupid of me. Aaaargh! Thanks for the suggestions | |
| DAC + NAS streamer combo (NOT Tidal/Qobuz etc) @nekoaudio , thanks for the explanation. Currently I use my Roon core on my Mac to connect wirelessly to an Exasound Sigma streamer that connects to the e38 DAC through usb. So is there any advantage to a network streamer? Since Roon already con... | |
| DAC + NAS streamer combo (NOT Tidal/Qobuz etc) I have a lifetime Roon subscription that I use on a Mac. | |
| DAC + NAS streamer combo (NOT Tidal/Qobuz etc) Question. I noticed some of the suggestions are due network streamers (like the Lumin T2 and X1). If I already have Roon, is there any reason to get a network streamer? Thanks | |
| DAC + NAS streamer combo (NOT Tidal/Qobuz etc) @rego, it handled DSD256 or maybe 512 if connected over USB. But only DSD64 over ethernet. So processing capacity isn't the issue. Maybe it doesn't have gigabit ethernet chip? | |
| DAC + NAS streamer combo (NOT Tidal/Qobuz etc) The lumin sounds interesting. It supports DSD etc like I want. But I wonder whether it can do DSD 512 over ethernet from a NAS. The Bricasti said it could do DSD64 max. Don’t understand why. | |
| DAC + NAS streamer combo (NOT Tidal/Qobuz etc) Oh BTW, forgot to mention! Need native DSD decoding in the signal path. Not PCM conversion. | |
| How to integrate stereo and multi channel? @soix , I have a Parasound preamp that has two sets of 5 channel RCA inputs (plus a bunch of stereo inputs) | |
| How to integrate stereo and multi channel? @teo_audio, thanks. I’m trying to understand the configuration. Your turntable connected to the stereo preamp, which went to the stereo amp. And the center and surrounds are handled by the multi chi preamp connected to a multi-ch amp? So in stereo... | |
| Why do you need so much power? @mulveling, thanks for the response. I listen almost exclusively to classical, opera and jazz; not so much orchestral recordings (so a lot of piano, violin, vocals). What's most important to me is clarity, detail, transparency and imaging. The r... | |
| Why do you need so much power? Thanks everyone. Since my room is of moderate size and I listen maybe 2m away, the 25w J2 is more than enough. To me, clarity, transparency and imaging is more important than volume. | |
