| Best or Most Interesting Speakers @jasonbourne52 These "ear speakers" do give you the Princess Leia look but got to do it for these results | |
| Best or Most Interesting Speakers Got the Krell today and will fire it up later in the evening. If I had know how good the CODA + AMT3SE + RAAL combo sounded I would have kept it and not ordered the Krell. In fairness the Krell was for another room but the wife got in the way of t... | |
| Do you need a Roon Ready device to stream Roon? My Matrix Audio Mini-i 3 Pro DAC was not ROON READY on the day I bought it (Black Friday). So the only way to stream was either through AirPlay2 or my Sonore microRendu. Maybe 2 weeks ago they got ROON READY certification and I was able to enable ... | |
| The indisputable benefit of fiber for music Fibre is a game changer. Glad I did not spend too much in the past on streamers or music servers. My cheap DELL computer with Fibre to my OpticalRendu is phenomenal. So good that I bought 2 OpiticalRendu's, I for each DAC that I have in the office... | |
| Is Luxman a poor man's D'Agostino ? I have the same CODA CSiB as @audioman58 but mine is a used unit from July 2018. I have Version 1 with the first 18 watts in Class A. I have heard the Luxman 509x and liked it but then I heard the Luxman m900/c900 combo on the same gear and the 50... | |
| New to streaming, looking for a budget streamer I am getting an AudioMirror Tubadour III SE DAC today (finally) and it will be hooked up to a Sonore OpticalRendu via Fibre Optical cable from a Ubiquity Networks switch ($200) and direct to the OpticalRendu, then USB to the AMT3SE.https://www.ui.... | |
| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy My music server is a broken down DELL computer that I took from the trash heap of an old employer. I figure a audiophile music server is a much quieter machine than mine. However, I use Fibre Optical cable from my network switch to my Sonore Optic... | |
| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? Yes. The gear available these days is incredible. | |
| Benchmark DAC3 / AHD2 Combo (with a Goldenear Triton Reference chaser) I have not noticed any change in the sound of the Benchmark electronics from burn-in time since original purchase nor from the time I turn them on every day--they sound great right once you power them up. I know this is absolute heresy. I am on... | |
| DAC's with volume control question I compared the volume control on the respected Benchmark DAC3 HGC (DAC/preamp) with the Benchmark DAC3B (no volume) + Benchmark LA4 preamp. The DAC3B + LA4 combo was so much better with volume, especially at low volume levels. I only use a DAC fo... | |

| Roon 1.8 A great new improvement that is likely not considered by most people is the GPU usage on the ROON client. It used to be so bad that I would shut down the client and restart it again whenever I needed to select music (prior to v1.8). The Client als... | |
| My Room Size for Speaker Consideration @bgm1911 The GIK panels were nice when I had a small monitor in the room, KEF LS50. With that speaker the panels were all I needed. However, I wanted a bigger speaker in this space and the panels really do not solve that problem. They help but rel... | |
| My Room Size for Speaker Consideration I have a Thiel CS3.7 in a 11 x 12 x 9 (plus extra room from closet). See my Virtual System photos. The room is treated with GIK acoustic panels and the digital streaming source is treated with DSP that was setup remotely by a super talented audio ... | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so I have the CODA CSiB and I think it is great. It is the 2018 version and is not even the best version of this unit. Though I imagine the 2021 version is only a bit better. (used 3.4K)I am getting a Krell K-300i integrated hopefully this week. Have... |
