| Server/Streamer for Rockna Wavelight I am a Rockna dealer and have the Wavelight here on demo. No news on the Wavelight server. Wavedream Server would do the job quite well. I have had a lot of success with the Chord 2go/2Yu streamer as a Roon Endpoint and Roon Nucleus or Nucleu... | |
| Interested in finding a NAIM dealer on the east coast. The issue is the XS-3 and Supernait are out-of-stock with no estimated delivery date. Basically, if they don't have it in-stock or are willing to sell a floor model, I have no idea when you would be able to get one. Audiotronics in Norwalk CT ... | |
| Interested in finding a NAIM dealer on the east coast. There are oodles of Naim dealers. It is not a particularly expensive line to acquire. At the moment, stock is extremely hard to get and a large number of items have been out-of-stock for multiple months. Secondarily, unless you are above a certai... | |
| Playback Edelweiss in the house So we are starting the break-in process over again. A customer borrowed mine and is keeping it until we get enough hours on his. Should have it back just after AXPONA, obviously fully broken in. At that time I will report completely on the soun... | |
| Playback Edelweiss in the house The Merlot had been discontinued. I asked about it explicitly. I am not sure Playback is planning on introducing a new unit in that price range. | |
| Time clock sync devices I haven’t used a transport since 2019. Haven’t tested it but theoretically it should have the same sort impact. | |
| Time clock sync devices Clocking will have a very significant impact. The infinitesimal amount of jitter is the thing holding elite systems back. The stepped up clock in my server was game changing and makes very DAC I have had here sound better. | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss In the end, all that counts is what you like. Cheers to everyone who has found something they are really enjoying! | |
| Warm but holographic & forward vocals. I would look at a ribbon/AMT/planar that is on the warmer side. Raidho, Audiovector, Magnepan, MBL would be interesting options. There is definitely an Audiovector dealer in San Francisco. They deliver an immersive experience that surrounds you. ... | |
| Server for Bricasti M1/3 Antipodes S40 and K41 have ethernet outputs and are superb with the Bricasti. I haven't had the 41 here as it is brand new but had the 40 here for most of last year and used it with the M3, M1 SE and Weiss at different times. It is a great match... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss OP, congrats on the Weiss. It sounds like you really made a careful, considered choice and have landed in a place that is ideal for you. And that is what truly matters. @phastm3 I have the Weiss 501 as well. I have tested the player vs. othe... | |
| Playback Edelweiss in the house Quick check in with a listening test - at 175 hours on the DAC (there is a counter) I can say that there is only one DAC I have had here in this league and that is the Rockna Wavedream Signature. I wish I had it here for direct compare. The de... | |
| Upgrading my Auralic Vega G1 streaming dac I have compared the Bricasti M3 and the Weiss. In fact, I have both here right now. Both are great but very different. There is obviously a big difference in price. The Weiss is more competitive with the M1 than the M3. I have tested a bunch of D... | |
| Playback Edelweiss in the house I will keep you updated but I am burning it in. Literally, there is an explanation of how the sound will change over the initial 350-500 hours. I am at close to 200 hours now. I am frustrated in that I was just informed the first batch of these... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile I had one of these that I took on trade. They must score these things and divide by price to put it in a tier. It is the only possible explanation. The Freya+ was a step down from the onboard preamp in the Chord Hugo2 (not TT2, the headphone a... |
