| Validation Like you I have no external validation, barring my own enjoyment and remembering the journey -- research, listen, purchase, listen, return/exchange, or keep and repeat. Though, I was very pleased when one my music loving friends remarked that his... | |
| Oh no, say it ain't so. Oh my. The gateway drug was ADCom. I'm considering treatment. | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Great posts. I also find each album/song has its own ideal volume but generally i listen between 65 and 75 db unless no one is home but me. Then around 95 db. | |
| Thinking of changing things up. Need advice on DAC/Streamers I currently have the Meitner MA3 (which I will upgrade to the "i" a little later) and am using the Zenith MK3 as the Roon core. The MA3, in my system, excels in the reproduction of micro-details and spatial cues, while being very musical as said ... | |
| Innuous Zenith MK3 I currently have and love my Zenith MKIII. I've upgraded many components around it but do not feel the need/desire to upgrade the Zenith. That may be because I recently upgraded to a Meitner MA3 streamer DAC. i mostly stream Qobuz through Roon ... | |
| Need your input Thanks for the question and @ghdprentice for the position of the instruments as heard on your system. Listening to this same tune I hear the instruments to be in similar positions. Piano left center far behind the speakers; drums on the right not... | |

| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System Well, I cannot say what will happen in your case, but USPS was horrible for me this holiday season. I ordered custom interconnects from Audio Art, Rob had them built quickly, placed in the mail quickly and immediately sent me a tracking number. ... | |
| Everything matters +1 @ghdprentice , I just moved from a BMC Ultra DAC to a Meitner MA3 and as an experiment, I removed my Etherregen, AD clock and the AD LPS powering them. Turns out, to me, sq improved quite a bit -- smoother, more musical and more detailed, with ... | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? Agreed! Just turned 60 and find that my 13-year-old daughter is infinitely more adept at using smart phones, computers, steaming TV services, etc. than I am. What a shock, and here I thought I was young and with it. With audio, however, she hasn’... | |
| Meitner i upgrades I'm in queue for the upgrade or a swap through my dealer. I am waiting for someone here to relate the difference in SQ between the two which will hopefully be an improvement. | |
| Meitner MA3 @singere -- I won’t enter a "payment method" to respond to DM’s per AG’s silly rules. In my case, I use the Zenith MKIII as a Roon Core and the streamer in the MA3. Ethernet into the Zenith and Ethernet out from the Zenith to the MA3. Eliminating ... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? For me if I just count cables, it's about 10%. But, if I add, rack, running dedicated lines, and power conditioners it's closer to 17%. At this point, if I want new cables, I will research and learn to build my own. | |
| Meitner MA3 I also have the MA3, stepping up from the BMC UltraDac. The MA3 is more detailed, relaxed and musical at the same time. A difficult task to allow microdetails to shine while enhancing the musical whole. It does everything right to me, especially... | |
| Streamer for LTA Aero @audphile1, agreed. In my case the router is 20 meters from the Zenith. The details of proper EMI/RFI minimization are legion, but seem to be application specific |
