| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. And what would that agenda be? I am honestly puzzled. | |
| Faint speaker hiss I asked my young son: he hears a faint hiss at very close range. | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? True, that was also the case with my B&W PV1d subwoofer and my Quad electrostats - until I installed an Antimode 8033 Room eq unit. I honestly think that the more you do to solve the room modes issue the better. | |
| Does a streamer do anything to the data that Tidal provides? I doubt a new DAC will give much better sound quality, if any. If you want better sound I would look at the speakers, as they are responsible for by far the largest part of sound quality (but I don't know what speakers you have). Do you have enoug... | |
| How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL? With subwoofers the room interaction is far more important than the quality of the actual sub (within reason, of course). In this room the Schroeder frequency is about 150 Hz, and below that you will suffer room modes, i.e. resonant frequencies at... | |
| Faint speaker hiss No this is not normal anymore. I just checked with my own P3ESRs (driven by an old refurbished Quad 405-2 and just a volume control): nothing, absolutely nothing, no mains hum and no noise. It might be different if you are a young girl, of course,... | |
| Does a streamer do anything to the data that Tidal provides? You are absolutely right. It cannot in any way improve the sound. If it is working properly what comes in will come out in exactly the same bitperfect shape and form. Of course, if it also includes a DAC (quite a few do) that DAC may influence the... | |
| Does a streamer do anything to the data that Tidal provides? Not sure what you want with the ethernet and power plug and why. The Chromecast can use an additonal/optional wired connector if your wifi is not strong enough, and it comes with a power plug (in fact the wired connection uses a special net adapte... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com This was the conclusion of the test (if you don’t know French, the Audio Precision graphs should speak for themselves, link at the bottom): CONCLUSIONS. La puissance annoncée est largement obtenue (370W Rms sans remontée de distorsion, pour 350W R... | |
| Need help looking for a DAC for Samsung TV 4k Auxinput, that’s what I thought as well, but my guess it is the lack of a remote that is the issue. Does the volume control on the TV work with the digital output? Otherwise, how about a Benchmark DAC 1 factory refurbished? | |
| Need help looking for a DAC for Samsung TV 4k Does the TV not have an analogue output, or does your amplifier not have an optical digital input? There are not that many DACs with a remote control, and even fewer at this price (I cannot quickly think of one). | |
| Does a streamer do anything to the data that Tidal provides? Let me reassure you. I have a few Chromecast Audio streamers, some using the analogue output from the internal DAC, others using the optical digital output. The digital output uses the mini optical connector into the same little slot as the little... | |

| Is my Amp OK? It is well respected, measurements here: https://www.stereophile.com/content/bel-canto-eone-ref600m-power-amplifier-measurementsThe question is: will you hear a difference (and is that difference an improvement)? My guess is that if you compare th... | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! noromance, that then would be the distortion level that humans cannot hear. Indeed, there is enough research that we can tolerate or not even discern quite high levels of distortion.My question was, however, how resolution is lost if it is not by ... |
