| Esoteric I am waiting for the next production run of the E-02 Balanced. My dealer is very competitive and quite knowledgeable. I would give you contact info, but I don't know how to send a private message. | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? For most of us the "this or that" approach is due to financial limitations. The total system cost might be $1000.00, or $100,000.00, where the limitations exist, but the components considered are very different. It all has to do with maximizing re... | |
| Sound quality of Roon jjss49 Excellent summary. After reading your post and looking at your equipment, your opinion carries the force of experience. | |
| Why no MCT port on Mcintosh MCD players The 12000 has a tube preamp and the i2s is a MA12000 DAC input. The DAC feeds the 12000’s preamp. Players have internal DAC and the i2s is internal and feeds the internal DAC. McIntosh transports have i2s which can be used with the 12000. | |
| Roon "Lost control of audio device"? This happened to me when I was using a smart switch. Now using $20 tplink dumb switch and no issues. | |
| Sound quality of Roon I don’t directly stream from Qobuz. I use the Innuos Sense software. Using Sense with Innuos servers/streamers sounds best if you have a nicely resolved system. When using Roon, is the Roon Core server internal to your Innuos, or is it externa... | |
| Sound quality of Roon Let's accept/assume that Roon streaming sounds inferior to directly streaming Qubuz, Tidal..etc.. Where, at what stage does this degradation take place? I'm assuming that you have already turned off processing/modification within Roon. | |
| Sound quality of Roon Roon is for convenience. Vinyl is for when you want the best musical reproduction. That said, I'm putting more time and money into components downstream of my NUC Roon Core. | |
| Solid State Phono Stages Did the OP come to a final decision? Reading this thread has me curious? | |
| Question Re HDCD in DBPowerAmp Since +6dB can result in clipping, I have ripped with and without +6db> Can someone tell me why the HDCD DSP +6dB FLAC files are smaller than the HDCD DSP applied, but +6dB not applied files? | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? I compared cables but stayed within one brand, Shunyata for power and Audioquest for everything else. Not 100% done. | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? Ripped to uncompressed FLAC, but only 150 or so CDs and 30 were purchased recently .. without having anything to play them on. Only 20 SACD, so not missing much there. I still can’t listen to them in that the DAC in my New McIntosh MA12000 stoppe... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? Well, I ripped all of my CDs in two days. The fact that it took so little time is another red flag...meaning that I don't own many CDs. Holo Dac DTE, Timber Nation Tiger Maple equipment rack and NAS should be here by 9/7..so we will see.. | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer Your DAC has an I2s in. You should find a streamer with I2s output. Ps Audio is coming out with the AirLens in October for $2K. It will galvanically isolate from the wired ethernet..not sure about wifi..but personally I prefer wired if I can ge... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? Ok..listening to my new favorite artist/recording, "Dreams and Daggers", featuring the absolutely amazing Cecile McLorin Salvant..a 15 on a scale of 10. Great bass..texture, nuance, dynamic..and yes..my upgrade from Venom to Venom NR improved ... |
