Sounds to me the... | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? I contacted Entreq and unfortunately they do not have a US distributor but they are offering a money back guarantee. I am going to have to give this a try. I will report back. | |
| Peak listening levels- You guys are animals! I listen no louder than 75db measured at my chair. | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Give a listen to Rumer! She reminds me so much of Karen Carpenter but with a bit more weight to her effortless vocals. | |
| experiment with isolation?? I use a PS Audio P3 ac regenerator with spectacular results. Each outlet of the P3 is isolated from one another. The benefits of providing consistent, clean power cannot be understated. | |
| Vicoustic room treatments? Pdreher, they do have US distribution now. I am in contact now and planning a virtual room analysis. I guess they use some software (Odeon) to simulate acoustic behavior in each customer's room. Their prices don't look so bad either. During my dis... | |

I have owned both Esoteric X-03 then the P3/D5 combo and the Cary 303 and 306. I now own the Luxman D-06 which To me ... | |
| Goodbye Sonos, hello ???? Jaxwired, thanks for the headsup on the Xonor. My problem is that the CAPS I am going to build (v3 Carbon) only has 1 available pcie slot which I was intending to use for a wireless card because unlike you my media is stored on a NAS so that my ot... | |
| Goodbye Sonos, hello ???? thanks williewonka, I have considered the mac mini though to be honest I dont have much experience with macs. The solution you propose is definitely attractive. I just hate the idea of getting tied to itunes. Does Audirvana allow you to play FLAC?... | |
| Goodbye Sonos, hello ???? Mapman, I have heard that the SPDIF available on motherboards or pc cards have questionable quality. I am not sure about the implementation in devices such as players and DACs. | |
| Goodbye Sonos, hello ???? Thanks Mapman. The more I think about this the more I am leaning towards building a CAPS streamer. I just wish there was a way to get high quality SPDIF output so I can avoid the added cost and clutter of getting a high quality USB/SPDIF converter. |
