| 432 EVO Thanks @thyname for hunting down that article. That does make it clear. If you're looking for a more organic, analog sound; try the 432. It MAY be worth $5500 to you. If that's not something you're looking for, an Intel NUC is probably all you... | |
| 432 EVO I think Juan should clear up what he thinks about the 432. His statements on Facebook are too vague. He likes the Intel NUC but every NUC is going to sound different based on the skills of the person turning it into an audio streamer, so that's n... | |
| 432 EVO Thanks @thyname. I hope he clears his thoughts up. | |
| 432 EVO I agree with david_ten that pf needs to have someone else review the 432 or have Juan C. Ayllon clarify what his opinion of the 432 is. Is it this (from the conclusion): The 432 EVO High End Music Server is a remarkable player, making good on its... | |
| 432 EVO @thyname, You left this part of the "Where's the Magic?" section of the review out: I recalled reading a passage that warned not to use the USB 3.0 ports to connect the audio, as they were noisier than the USB 2.0 port which I couldn't seem to fi... | |
| first US review 432 evo music server Congrats on the nice review, Dave. It's nice that the 432 can act as a roon core as well as a server. I recently upgraded my CD player/DAC and found that the sound quality of Qobuz through a roon Nucleus no longer measured up to my CDs. So I'm ... | |
| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? I know my system doesn’t sound like live music. In many cases that’s a good thing, my system sounds better than live music. If I went to a lot of classical chamber or symphonic concerts and I could afford the good seats, I might try to reproduce t... | |
| Primaluna? VAC has autobias, the IQ system, in their newer models and protective warning leds. If the led turns green that tube is getting weak, if it turns red, the tube is drawing excessive current and the IQ system shuts down the main power supply in a fr... | |
| Video, Why dont audiophiles listen to each other. @thyname, Everyone who has met mc and reported back has said that he is in fact a fine fellow and I'm sure he is. People who don't like Tektons should probably just stay off those threads. ✋ | |
| Video, Why dont audiophiles listen to each other. @millercarbon, You used to do a lot of threadcrapping and insulting of other posters yourself, and still do some. I think that’s where some of the vitriol that is directed towards you comes from. Also, your "I’m a genius and you’re not" schtick i... | |
| New to hifi... question about Lumin T2 and Roon @tuberist What brand ethernet cable do you use, if you don't mind me asking? | |
| Can Anybody Give An Example Of? I love this scene for the way Tarantino contrasts the myth of the hippies with, you know, reality. Those "hippies" Tarantino was portraying were the Manson Family, who were in a category all their own. | |
| The Audiophile Community Has a Problem: Part Deux The Saga Continues? @travelinjack How about you just don't bring it up. If you do it what's to stop someone with different political beliefs from replying in kind. Just don't do it. It's not that hard. | |
| The Audiophile Community Has a Problem: Part Deux The Saga Continues? @travelinjack, I’m sure you know that the one topic we have to avoid completely if we want to maintain civility on this forum is politics. If you don’t know that, I suggest you lurk a while until you learn the ropes. | |
| Aesthetix Preamps Thanks for sharing your experience. We need to be reminded from time to time that the best way to find what works best for us is to try different things. Too bad NOS tubes and audio gear aren’t cheaper and easier to get our hands on. 😊 |
