| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question @ossicle2brain : Chill dude. Did I offend you somehow? I am sorry YOUR feelings were hurt. I was quoting another dude. Are you policing the forums? Really chill. Not worth losing sleep. Go pet an animal. | |
| Digital music questions They’re all 1’s and 0’s. As long as the data is getting to your McIntosh DAC intact, then one streamer is no better than another in terms of audio quality. 🤯🤦♂️🙄🙄. Of course, digital, it either works or it doesn’t 🙄. I was wondering when the ... | |
| Upgrade Esoteric K03XD to K01XD? I hope my local dealer here in the UK will be able to get hold of a K01XD to try it out at home. That would of course be the best path forward I can see the thinking behind the idea of repIacing the current streamer and cd player with the N... | |
| Front or Back wall diffusers Andy @aquint : gorgeous room! Thanks for sharing and chiming in | |
| Upgrade Esoteric K03XD to K01XD? If you don’t care much about spinning CDs, and your focus is streaming, I would recommend upgrading to the N-01XD. It’s a streaming DAC. No need for a separate streamer. You would then get rid of both K-03XD and N-03t P.S: the streaming module... | |
| Some observations from a former skeptic - and a question I have never done a test and wouldn’t have the budget anyway Precisely, therefore this: I am more interested in reading data …. And raging in the Internet audio forums is my guess. | |
| Digital music questions Other than improved sound of using a dedicated, purpose built, audio, streamer, there are other conveniences: 1) Ability to use an app on your phone (or tablet) to control music playback. Way more convenient than dealing with a general purpose co... | |
| Digital music questions @cmb13 : I sense you are questioning stuff, rather than asking questions. I hope I am wrong. Next question, dealing with a little sticker shock, is the Aurender N200 at $6300 really THAT much better than, say, a Bluesound? Then just get a Blue... | |
| Digital music questions That being said, am I leaving a lot on the table? Yes. See below. Would a dedicated streamer sound a lot better than the Macbook Pro? Yes. Most definitely. Are there streamers without DACs, so I can use the McIntosh DAC without purchasin... | |
| Using biwired cables on speakers with only 2 connections Like the previous two posters said. However, that may be bit difficult to accomplish due to their terminations / plugs. Another option: sell the existing bi-wire cable, and buy a new full range (non bi-wire) cable | |
| The Best Tweak? Tweaks? Whatever @mahgister is smoking 😂. I want to have it. But he never disclosed it, no matter how hard I tried (in another thread) 🤦♂️🤷♂️ @mahgister : don’t be offended please. It’s a joke | |
| For Innuos owners I live my music servers, streamers, transports, and even DACs always on, 24/7. Unless I go out of town for more than overnight. Nothing bad has ever happened with any of them | |
| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable I agree @soix Lavricables are great value for the money. However, I don’t think they make S/PDIF or AES/EBU cables. | |
| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable @rolox : Thanks. 130 euros is very reasonable cost for a good cable. It shows the snake oilers would always protest on cables, regardless of their price. It's a concept thing for them, nothing to do with price. They just dislike (or is it "hate"?)... | |
| Xangsane XS-1001Ag silver coax SPDIF cable @rolox OP: how much was this cable? It must have been thousands of dollars considering Jason Bourne is throwing a tantrum here.... |
