| Anyone Seen a Feb 2022 Stereophile Issue?? On line posting might be tomorrow 1/24/22. | |
| Thiel Cs 2.3 with neodium Tweeter of CS 2.4 It's quite likely that it would necessitate a cross-over change. | |
| Do I really need a preamp with dac with volume control help Ultra high end systems are not likely to exclude all popular media, and will therefore will probably have analog sources, which changes the equation. | |
| Do I really need a preamp with dac with volume control help It depends on the number of bits available from the DAC, the output voltage of the DAC, the input sensitivity of the amp, the capacitance of the interconnects between them, and the impedance compatibility of it all. | |
| Recommended Pre-Amps under 1k? Topping Pre90? | |
| eARC when using Roku We're using different devices in different locations. What works best for me, might be different than what works best for you. Your Lyngdorf seems to work as advertised. The only advantage to my set up is independent Roku video and independent aud... | |
| eARC when using Roku I originally had the Roku going into the Oppo 205 then into the TV, I then changed as outlined previously. I really didn't notice a change in sound quality. I think this has more to do with the audio signal sent through the Roku. Most of the audi... | |
| eARC when using Roku The Oppo 205 is a multifunction player, digital line stage and DAC. It too allows for pass through. Though the internal video processing is probably better than most. Though capable of multichannel, I only use it’s dedicated 2 channel output curre... | |
| eARC when using Roku FWIW, I found switching back and forth between streaming Roku and broadcast over the air TV much easier with the Roku directly into the TV then to my Oppo 205, than when the Roku went directly through my Oppo 205 then to the TV. | |
| Thiel Owners @dsper, If you don't expect live volume levels, it might work. | |
| Thiel Owners @dsper, Keep in mind that the Thiel specs at 87dB/2.8V/1M which is confusingly not the same as 1 Watt. Considering the 4 Ohm nominal impedance, it's more like <84dB sensitivity. Jim Thiel told me that his power recommendations were based upon... | |
| Thiel Owners @coop_301 , It appears that for a fairly reasonable charge you could have the balanced output voltage customized: Okto Research Okto dac8 Stereo D/A processor | Stereophile.com Okto dac8 stereo DAC Review | Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum Rec... | |
| Thiel Owners @dsper, A room of that size could accommodate full range sound, the only thing that might be holding back that possibility is the c-j amp. Now, I like and have used c-j (though ss) in the past, and I don't mean to harp on this, but I think the res... | |
| CJ PV14 or Audible Illusions Modulus 3A? ^Same old song, sung by many, for a long time. | |
| Thiel Owners ^Thank you for sharing! |
