Streamer Recommendation. Definitely auralic. | |
AXPONA 2023 I stayed at the Hyatt this year when I went and even used award points and it was fine. They even had the shuttle buses that take you to the event. I'm with you and usually like to stay at the show's Host hotel but these prices are just crazy! | |
Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile? Why don't you renew at discount mags? So much cheaper than the prices directly from Stereophile. I've been doing it for years. Wait for their sales and you can get a 2-year renewal for almost nothing! | |
Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... Let me ask you a question. Under what circumstances have you tried streaming from your PC? What DAC and how did you do it? Please be specific. | |
Best DACs under $7,000.00 I also subscribe to Stereophile and have not seen a review on the Audio GD R-7HE. Also, an R2R DAC cannot do DSD by itself. My Audio Holo May R2R DAC has a Separate built in DAC just for DSD processing. | |
Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... Excellent sounding streaming can be achieved with your PC in the right circumstances. If using USB, make sure your DAC has a good USB implementation and has Galvanic isolation. I’m streaming through Roon and Tidal/Qobuz and upsampling PCM as High ... | |
5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. I actually like Ron from NRD and have been watching him for a long time. I have yet to find ANY Audio Reviewer that I really like, and arrogance seems to be a COMMON TRAIT amongst all audiophiles, even in these forums. | |
Triode Wire Labs Own 3 of their current model power cables. Good company! | |

The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them I subscribe to Stereophile, I prefer them over TAS by far. | |
$5K DAC OPTIONS The Rose is more than just a DAC as I'm sure you know. Are you looking for a combo box or just a DAC? The Holo Audio May KTE is very good and also popular. | |
Looking for a streamer/DAC Rose RS250 if your limit is 5K and are looking for an all in one. | |
Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake? This is one reason I like Triode wire labs cables. Each cable has a serial number. | |
We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? Some things on vintage cars can’t be changed such as aerodynamics and built-in technology and safety devices. In my opinion it would never be worth it to spend crazy money to match performance of a modern supercar and in the end, it may be cheaper... | |
Zavfino ARCADIA MK2 vs FUSION MK2 I have the Fusions but have never compared them to the ARCADIA. |
