| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? @bo1972 .. so, what you're telling us is we need YOUR brand of diversity?Sad, but apparently none of us feel any emotion when listening with our digital garbage. I'll go throw all my gear in the trash now. | |
| Time for Two Ways ! Great thread Erik. Again. Right now I'm using my single-driver Omega's, but I've held onto a pair of Mark & Daniel Ruby's purchased in 2010 to rotate back into the system when the mood strikes. They are 2-ways with an AMT tweeter and a bit tou... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Erik .. madavid0 is only here to provoke. Keep in mind he started this thread:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/class-d-trash | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? That’s quite an endorsement for the Rega’s! No, the Ohm’s are not exactly furniture-grade, although they look much better in low lighting. @davide256 sorry for going off-topic. | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? Yes, I suppose you're correct, much of audio is rather subjective, no?I referenced my MMGs and MicroWalsh Talls because of the 2 distinct and very different presentations of these speakers, both of which I like and still have. The Maggies, as you ... | |
| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? Can the MB upgrade be done by the owner of a Bifrost? No, unless they've changed their policy since I had mine upgraded. | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? But they have a small sweet-spot(like Maggies) and sound far better with tubes than SS .@schubert .. small sweet spot? I'm kind of surprised to read this. Not the case at all with my Omega Super 3i's. For reference I have both MMGs and Ohm MicroWa... | |
| To Stream ... Spotify uses their own Spotify Connect wifi solution and to use it you'll need a device like the Chromecast Audio. The Chromecast Audio device has optical out which will connect nicely with your DAC. Bluetooth is another option as well and of cour... | |
| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? @ghosthouse .. yes, I purchased the Bifrost when they first came out. The 1st time I shipped it back to Schiit was for the Uber Analog upgrade and then again for the Multibit upgrade. The Multibit brought the DAC to another level entirely and was ... | |
| Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade? I've read the multibit calms the hot high characteristics. That's a good way to put it. I can't speak for the Gungnir but it's true for the Bifrost Multibit. There is a certain rightness, a natural and organic sound quality with the Multibit upgra... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? Another vote for the Omega's single driver loudspeakers. If you want to stay with Magnepan the Mini Maggie System should work nicely in a room that size. FWIW, I've had MMGs for a little over 5 years (love them) and while they do many things well... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? Bluesound is under the Lenbrook umbrella which includes NAD and PSB and is based in Canada. | |
| Bluesound Vault 2 VS Mac or PC audio I moved from a Mac mini based system to a Bluesound Node 2 about a year ago and what a pleasure it's been to leave all that behind. FWIW, I was all-in. I had licenses for Amarra Symphony w/iRC, Audirvana +, BitPerfect, Fidelia Advanced, HQPlayer, ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I love this thread. Thanks again Erik, for starting it and Guido for being such a solid foil.+1 .. it’s a pleasant change from the normal bashing class d takes. I have 3 class d amps, an older PS Audio Trio A-100 (ICE based), a Fleawatt TPA3116D2 ... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? @toddverrone .. the whole project didn’t take much time at all. I used 16 gauge wire and 14 gauge jacketing. The wire threaded easily enough and just needed to be guided deliberately. Here’s a link to my blog post about the build where you’ll find... |
