| Streamer The streamer I have in my office system, a Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra, has usb out for a dac, accepts usb in from an external hard drive and, of course, has an ethernet connection. Sounds great to me and comes in at just under $1k. Good luck w... | |
| Question about sound stage I second investigating hearing issues. Motorcycles decreased the aquity of my right ear. This was easialy addressed by adjusting speaker gain and distance in the DSP settings found in Roon. | |
| Speaker selector that won't degrade sound Guys, thanks for the answers to the outdoor speaker question. Seems that from the above answers to the speaker/amp switch box question, it looks like I will have to just set up a streamer and a dac outdoors with powered full time outdoor speakers... | |
| Core Tech USBe Perfect +1 ozzy, I've recently installed a USBe Perfect between my streamer and DAC. I noticed similar improvements, mostly greater microdynamics and better imaging. This tweak, however, is working in conjunction with my Etherregen and AD Master clock. ... | |
| Speaker selector that won't degrade sound I am also interested in hearing from the pro's on this subject. I'd like to run outdoor patio speakers off of my main system in the living room. To do so, I would have to run about 25-30 feet of speaker cable through the wall to my amp. I have ... | |
| Anyone move up from Innuos Zen Mini to Zenith ? I did just that and found the improvement to be significant and enjoyable. Better micro dynamics (to me, all the peripheral sounds that give a better sense of realism) and greater presence and bloom. With the Zenith, the music did not sound as t... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Best thread I've read here in a while. It confirms the self-evident, yet brutal strength of truth: it exists regardless of what I or anyone else thinks or understands. | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. Don’t know yet. College system stayed with me from the late eighties through last year when I decided to do a ’small’ upgrade. From April 2020 to date, the entire old system disappeared into the basement, the components of my new system have chang... | |
| Looking for suggestions on speakers and an integrated amp for a second system. I put together a pretty good digital system for my office about the same size as your room, that meets your budget. The system sounds great, almost as good as my main rig but really, with the bookshelf speakers, its only for relatively near field... | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. Completely agree with the above posts. My CDs are ripped to my Zenith but I tend to stream a lot of music that I would not have discovered were it not for the notes and hyperlinks found in Roon. I have always wanted to enjoy my listening time wi... | |
| Innuos owners. Chime in I think you'll like the Zenith Mk3. For me, it was a vast improvment over the Zen Mini. I found that Stillpoint Ultra Mini's worked better than Iso Acoustic Orea's under the Zenith. Far and away the largest improvement I heard came from adding ... | |
| Help me pick one of four music servers/streamersreqi @bondmanp, currently I use the Innuos Zenith MK.3 with an uptone audio ether regen. I love the Zenith and it sounds fantastic I started with the Innuos Zen Mini and LPS.. Those components were very good also and far superior to my prior CD set ... | |
| Cable for Hifi Man Sundaras I purchased a 20 foot XLR headphone cable from Audio Art -- I selected their premium version. Sounds great -- definitely better than the stock cable that came with my Audeze LCD-X phones. | |
| DAC That Punches Above Its Price Point +1"Maybe the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital priced at $499 as per your comment "Ideally something up to $500 would be nice".I use one of these in my office system. It sounds great -- on the detailed side but not shrill in any way. It works best with... | |
| New Transport? / Streamer? / CD Player? +1 @ghdprentice. Without debating the benefits of one format over another, I started much as you, wanting to enjoy my CD collection at a higher level of SQ without spending a fortune. Starting with what I thought would be a minor $600 upgr... |
