| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I agree. My first rule of audio: Your system sounds great, until you hear a better system. | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Two ways to look at value. 1) Can I get a component that will make reasonably good music at a price point that I am comfortable with? ie, money is fixed, now find the best solution for the money. 2) This is the sound that I have been looking... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I can't think about what I have spent on my system. My midwestern, pragmatic upbringing screams at me for being so extravagant. I just ordered a second SSD for the K50 music server. My left brain and right brain were duking it out until I final... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference I hear you. | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I know you are not part of the IT crowd. Just keep an open mind about digital. It is a much different animal than analog. In Analog, less is more but that is not always the case on the digital side. And “noise” in the digital realm is not the s... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Totally agree that you can spend a lot less on the digital side and have a state of the art digital front end. Not in my experience. Question: Which do you spend more time sitting down and critically listening to- your digital or your analog p... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? When did this become a budget hifi forum? You want value? Buy mass market gear and it will get you about 50% there. Seeking quantity over quality go for the $300 turntables and hit the used record stores. Your raspberry NUC streamer and an $80... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Let us know what you find out. | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? One other thing- I remember how good the original Star Trek TV series looked on our new Philco Color TV in 1968- analog over the air broadcast. The picture, the colors were breathtaking. Lucky for us those episodes were filmed. The 4k remaster ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I couldn't tell you what to measure. I thought these audio grade switches reduce jitter. I'm a mechanical engineer. I know enough to read a voltmeter, bias tubes and solder in a few replacement parts. I'm working on the applications side here-... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? I’m just reporting my experience. If it didn’t work, I would say so. I’m not here to sell something. I don’t know about etherregen. I use LHY and English Electric network switches. Those I know make a difference. Like I’ve said before, the increa... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Yes I do. They work. They make a remarkable difference and even more it made a startling improvement to the streaming picture on my TV. If people refuse to hear then seeing is believing. The ASR crowd is not measuring the right thing. | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Fiber optic is a good way to reduce noise and improve the sound of streaming. I found however that an audio grade network switch worked better and then I removed the fiber link in the chain because it limited dynamics. These changes are quite au... | |
| Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound The Raidho and Borrenson are very accurate but not musical. I found Magicos kind of plain and boring. I expected more from the TADs based on all the hype. The Vandersteen Seven XTRM sound good. I also really like the Acora speakers. If I had ... | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? Yeah well, I already traded in the NUC. But I would not be able to do that with my old music server anyway. The old NUC based server had just one ethernet port and then USB out. So to use it as a server with the Antipodes, I would need two ethe... |
