| Kef Blade to Blade meta? @steve59 He likely has not seen the new responses. Steve59 is usually posting interesting audio info. BTW - I find the Reference 5 sounds a lot different than the Blades. I was rather disappointed in the Reference 5 since it did not have the plac... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer One of my last streamers was created by the digital genius behind Playback Designs, Andreas Koch. It used a Plink interface for the best performance. It also had SPDIF which sounded great on that unit. The Plink was implemented using a fibre optic... | |
| Quincy Jones has passed away Jones called himself the Ghetto Gump. Read the GQ interview I linked above and see how he connects himself from Hitler to Michael Jackson. An incredible life story and more impressive than the fictional Forrest Gump. It seems to me he did not kno... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer People need to realize that the audio processing power needed to do streaming is not that high. When people moved away from cheap computers as the music servers and went with dedicated audio servers (also computers) they lost visibility to the CPU... | |

| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer Nothing wrong with USB if done right. Look at Schitt on their USB after many years of saying it was bad. They rolled their own so to speak. ARM processor or INTEL processors have 0 effect on the sonics of a streamer. Get a monkey to process the 1... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer I have not heard the new Infigo amp but did hear the prototype about 8 years ago at a show and it sounded amazing. I asked them why they were not selling the amp at that time. I also heard the Resonessence Labs Mirrus DAC that day too and I loved... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, why did they change it ? @lanx0003 I cannot answer this, but I recently got this email from Schitt when I asked them a question about an older OG that someone offered to sell me. info@schiit.com I’m glad you are enjoying the Yggdrasil. The Yggy that is in the picture y... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, why did they change it ? BTW2 - let me further my cable conspiracy theories. I recently bought a used Magnepan Mini system to replace my sold LRS+ system. I have a smaller office now. The LIM DAC is also hooked up to this pathway. I was reading where the Maggies may not ... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, why did they change it ? BTW - some of the best audio advice I got was when I called Schitt up at the SchittR and the guy working that day, who was a musician, gave me advice on their DACs. He hated the Less Is More that I owned (so did another musician friend of mine wit... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, why did they change it ? I have a WANTED ad to buy a second Yggi+ OG., not the older one but the latest. I have not heard the older ones, but the last iteration of that DAC sounds so good that I wanted to replace the Less Is More with a second OG. The LIM is very good and... | |
| Power Cable for Yggdrasil DAC A very happy audio accident happened today. I needed to buy the following cable for my Yggi+ Less Is More which is in my office system. I also have a Yggi+ OG in my Livingroom system. Benchmark RCA to XLRM Adapter Cable for Analog Audio - pin 3 t... | |
| New Cure Release I like it. Have heard it a few times now. It is supposed to be the first of a trilogy. Seems they have a ton of recorded material. How Robert Smith of the Cure Became Rock’s Most Dogged Activist - The New York Times Depeche Mode’s last is a new f... | |
| Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp The CODA 5.5 cannot drive either of my speakers. I got that info from Doug Dale, main guy at CODA. My Yamaha NS5000 likes power to sound their best and so did my old Magnepan LRS+. I was thinking of the 5.5 monos for the LRS+ or NS5000. I tried m... | |
| Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp I have had the CODA CSiB, #8, and now own the #16, I love the Benchmark LA4/HPA4 preamps with the CODA’s. I also like the Holo Audio Serene with the #16. My current setup is with the Serene and the #16, Mainly because the very neutral DAC I use se... |
