| Shootout: Roon versus Plex, Qobuz versus Tidal: Who Won? I've tried all of those services and stayed with Tidal. Roon shouldn't be in the mix since it isn't really a streaming service like the others. They can't improve the sound unless you possibly use convolution filters. | |
| streamer Lumin U1 or Aries G2.1 Even though you are responding to a 1-year-old thread I thought I would respond. I've had both Qobuz and Tidal off and on for a year now and just canceled Qobuz for the last time. Honestly despite what many are saying Qobuz does not sound better t... | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated I've had both integrated and separate and both have their positives and negatives. Integrated amps can be very high quality and sound very good depending on what you get. Advantages are saving space and not having to buy an interconnect to connect... | |
| Ethernet switches the good and bad I own an Aurender N200 and they claim they have Double Isolated LAN ports that provide two layers of transformer-based isolation to filter noise out of Ethernet connection. How exactly would a Audiophile switch improve on this and would the improv... | |
| Picture worth a penny LOL!!!! It's just a terrible thing and the end of the world! | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. I like his channel BUT he's absolutely not the last word in loudspeaker and crossover design! I notice he's fast to criticize many loudspeakers companies, but these companies have price points and mass market speakers unlike him. There are MANY go... | |
| Best way to A/B two different streamers @audphile1 I had to move my system and haven't had a chance to compare the two yet. I'm absolutely positive it's an improvement. One immediate thing I noticed is its less fatiguing to listen to over longer periods of listening. This was a problem ... | |
| All New Wharfedale Dovedale Loudspeakers : Giant Killers ?! @soix Did you watch the linked YouTube video. At Axpona they were telling people about the excellent cabinet construction and claim they can also be placed almost anywhere since port noise is so low. They also have a 2-circuit board crossover netw... | |
| Could we get a group of all IRS Beta owners? Just a suggestion, maybe consider creating a facebook group. I see lots of very unique and specialty audio groups with them. I'm subscribed to several of them. | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Thanks for the information. I'll call them Monday. These won't be my primary speakers, but the price is low enough I want to give them a try. I've heard them several times at the shows. TMR was telling me approximately 10 weeks wait. I wonder if t... | |
| All New Wharfedale Dovedale Loudspeakers : Giant Killers ?! I listened to them over a 2-day period at Axpona along with the KLH Model 7's. They sounded very good. I've never seen them available for purchase yet for any US based company. I'm sure they will be trickling in slowly! They are high up on my list... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! This may sound like a stupid question but how exactly do you order an LRS+ speaker on Magnepan's web site? The closest dealer is 3 hours from me. I heard they would let you order this speaker direct. There web site has no ordering options. They do... | |
| Music Server Advice @thyname I was at the Aurender room a couple weeks back in Axpona and they were telling me they are currently going through Roon Certification. They claim it will be a software update, but I find this confusing since previously they stated their C... | |
| Best way to A/B two different streamers One streamer is my computer with USB out (No DAC) and the new streamer has no DAC. I have an external DAC. I just want to verify improvements in the new streamer versus the streaming using my computer. I think the new streamer sounds amazing, but ... | |
| Best way to A/B two different streamers The streamers are feeding the DAC on USB. Switchboxes come in configurations with 2 inputs (from each streaming source) and one output to the DAC. The switchbox changes the input between the two USB sources. Am I misunderstanding something? I'm gu... |
