| Has anyone tried an amp from Class D Audio? Strateahed,Thanks for the info. What does the rest of your system consist of, in terms of pre amp, speakers and DAC?How would you compare the SDS-254 to a mid range traditional amp, if you can make the comparison? | |
| Optimizing Digital Volume Control My DAC has a digital volume control and I've tried running it straight to my amp. It is very clean and musical, but lacks dynamics. When I put a pre amp back into the line, it was still clean and musical, but I got the dynamics back. | |
| Squeezebox Touch with an Oppo BDP-105 I don't know how much of this stuff is system dependent. I really can't tell you how much of a difference disabling analogue outs or wireless makes.I can say this, tough. With TT 3.0, you can use an SSH program to switch the display on and off, on... | |
| Has anyone tried an amp from Class D Audio? Csontos,That's the same conclusion that I came to, based on research. Still, the little company, "Class D Audio" is interesting, I think.From what I've read, the N-Core is supposed to be a true drop in a box module that yields excellent results, a... | |
| DAC recommendation for an entry level system Mjmch2003,I don't doubt that at all. The Squeezebox is great as a sum of its parts, but it isn't the greatest at actually playing music. I've been tweaking my Squeezebox Touch for a while now and have been able to attain a higher degree of detail,... | |
| Squeezebox Touch with an Oppo BDP-105 There you go. That was it. I found it to be a bit of a PITA too. No need to mess with them, really, with TT 3.0 and EDO, which are pretty much tweaked as it is.I've continued to listen using EDO and I'm finding that the image is also a bit less de... | |
| DAC recommendation for an entry level system Mjmch2003, I've run Pandora, Spotify and MOG from all of my devices that support the services. Unless I'm mistaken, the highest bit rate that Spotify does is 256kps (if that high). As far as I know, MOG has the highest quality stream at 320kps for... | |
| Has anyone tried an amp from Class D Audio? I'm running a pair of Silverline Minuet Supreme Pluses.It was my intention to put something together using Hypex modules, but then ran across the stuff from Class D Audio and it seems that what little there is about them on the net has been good.T... | |
| DAC recommendation for an entry level system There is a lot to consider in the entry level market. Wyred 4 Sound uDAC, having one each of the inputs that you mentioned. There is also the Schiit Bifrost. The PS Audio DLIII is very nice, but if memory serves, it's a bit old and is limited by w... | |
| Space Efficient Speakers What do you mean by "space efficient"? Are you looking for small speakers or speakers with a small footprint? What's wrong with you Dynaudios? I mean, what is it about the Dynaudios that you don't like?I think that your belief regarding rear porte... | |
| XLD - forget it I'll use iTunes Lush, you just need to use something better than XLD. I believe that those that use it do so because it's free. As I said in your other thread, dbPoweramp is the way to go. | |
| Squeezebox Touch with an Oppo BDP-105 Loftarasa,After reading your post, I went and removed TT 3.0 and reinstalled the EDO app. I've been meaning to try it anyway, since I jut got a different pre amp.When going from the TT 3.0 to the EDO app, in my system, the stage got wider, but I l... | |
| XLD to iTunes Well, there should be an option to set the target directory in XLD options. If no option exists, the most logical way to handle this is to just have iTunes import the files from the directory that XLD put them into. Just make sure to check the opt... | |
| Rotel speaker pairing advice How big is your listening room? How far from the speakers is your listening position? Three ways may not be the best way to go.As far as the amp goes, the Rotel amps are fine and will produce a pleasing sound with an almost countless number of dif... | |
| totem/nad 316 They will play and sound nice. Just don't expect much volume out of them.I very recently tried out a 326BEE. I actually went to the shop with the intention of buying one. I took my little Silverline Minuets with me. I tried it out in a small liste... |
