| Good service from DH Labs I've only ever heard great things about DH Labs, both for performance and for service. They have been around a long time and maintained that reputation so they must be doing something right! | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 So many good options in your budget. Check out Meitner, Bricasti, Lampizator, Rockna, Denafrips. Laiv, etc. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? You mention it needing to be Roon Ready, but to clarify - do you already have a device running as a Roon Core? Not sure how down the rabbit hole you have gone with Roon but if you are new to them, they need a "Core" which is usually a more powerf... | |
| Qobuz will not work with new iphone Qobuz does this same thing to me once in a while as well. Never on a desktop though, always the mobile app. It's just not the best app, which is a shame as their product is generally very good and arguably better than competitor Tidal in various w... | |
| Anyone have experience with the new Wadax Studio Player? Wadax is an interesting brand but hard to find in the wild. I was interested in a demo but could not find any dealers nor anybody who owned one among many friends and extended online audiophile networking etc. Usually that is not the case, I have ... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs Again with the cable arguments, how fun those are (nope). I've had good luck with smaller brands. Stuff like Audioquest and Kimber are fine, they make a good product but you sure pay for it. Brands I've enjoyed that are smaller seem to offer more... | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre Lots of arguing here, I'm staying out of all that. But have been happy with a few of the Veritas Cables I've picked up over the past few months. Relatively sane prices compared to the big name brands, excellent construction, appearance, and top ca... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? I've tried a few of these types of cables from Aliexpress over the past couple years. Some were surprisingly decent for the low prices, some sounded about like what you would expect a $25 cable to sound like... not great. In all cases they looked ... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @nwres "clean and articulate with great extension" sounds about right to me. Also interesting plan with the network cables, I would not have thought of doing short versions like that but it makes sense. Someone in this thread earlier mentioned goo... | |
| Help me pick a new desktop speaker I know you mentioned doing passive speakers with a separate amp, but I would really look at active or powered options as well. For example the Adam Audio D3V is a really small powered system with a built-in USB DAC. For $300 those little things so... | |
| Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? I've heard both the Mofi 888 and the Fyne 501sp, unfortunately in different rooms/systems but still. From what I could tell they were very different to the point where each would appeal to different types of users, and each would work better in d... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer Yikes, reading through this thread has been frustrating. So many confident proclamations being thrown around! I think it's fair to say "some" people have decided their systems sound better without Roon, but also plenty of others find Roon to off... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @nwres I am hearing the same things you describe. The Argentum R in particular is blowing me away with low level listening. It's very detailed and so clean but also musical, not sterile like some other pure silver cables I own. The Magnus XLR cabl... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Two Sides to Every Story by Tiger Okoshi. It's an Alan Yoshida master and recorded using the XRCD process meaning it sounds amazing. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I'm enjoying your updates. Fun times with new gear, always an adventure. |
