| Digital Audio Output Differences? Is USB Audio Really The Top-notch? Trying to understand why I hear a difference between USB vs spdif and AES inputs. I compared a vintage tube dac with a current solid state dac. I have a Levinson 31.5 reference transport. I connect it to a Sonic Frontiers MkII DAC via optic... | |
| High end vintage vs contemporary DAC's - are sonic improvements real? Ok. Point taken... How much should you spend then on a USB interface for one of these classic Dac's. The game seems to be to find an electrically well isolated interface that uses a "good" asynchronous protocol to stream from a USB output. | |

| HT cross over question HA... talk about my blind spots.... Thanks for pointing this one out... Once upon a time... I read that using the speaker level inputs to a sub was the worst possible way to feed them. I thought of the speaker level terminals as a relic from the d... | |
| HT cross over question Db I hear good results setting the sub up as you suggest playing music... very pleased with dropping the kube 2000 out..Avgoround... The problem is the flexibility in connecting the sub . I prioritize two channel music. so the amp takes balanced o... | |
| Kef Kube equalizer DBPHDI have a question about your theater setup with your Kef 104/2s with a pair of subs. It sounds like you take the L and R signal from your pre/pro to the subs and output the signal after the 80 Hz crossover on the subs to the Kefs...My questio... | |
| J River Media Center 19 That is worth a try... The fundamental problem is that I simply don't understand home networks and what gets through a firewall or not enough to bend the rules a bit.. The second issue... is that I do this job very infrequently and the details get... | |

| J River Media Center 19 I do the same thing for propagating one library to two PC's in different locations.... (after cloning the data drives using something like filesync). If you use the media server feature in one location... the unique network identifier gets copied ... | |
