| Point of higher priced streamer? A LPS seems to be a popular choice for he Rendu’s, especially over the stock PS. I have now bought it and will give it a go. Unfortunately, they are out of supply until February. Once reason that I am doing this today and not it in the past, is th... | |
| Levinson 585 and MQA I was at a demo with the guys from ROON | T+A | Wilson | MQA. They were showing off ROON and MQA amongst others. I forgot which part of the chain was doing the MQA (likely a separate DAC). I do not think ROON supported MQA those days. This system ... | |
| Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times Yes, I was researching this on Head-fi and someone posted the same as you. I going to get the Hyda stack after the HUB is released next month. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? No this will not work for me because I have 2 (maybe 3 DACs) that will be hooked up at the same time. The microRendu will be hooked up to 1 and an RJ45 will be the input on the second DAC. For my situation something like the Denafrips Giaa maybe b... | |
| Looking For Best Headphones I am looking at the RAAL SR1a as a second headphone. It is supposed to be unlike any other headphone in that they are closer to sounding like speakers. This headphone cannot be driven by regular headphone amps. There are 2 specific headphone amps ... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Sure, though it looks like February when they will ship to me. It is easy to tell improvements and deficiencies with my new system.I was intrigued by the fact that ASR web site gave some measurements advocating a LPS for the microRendu. Seems like... | |

| Point of higher priced streamer? How about streaming content with a video source. I think they drop packets if there is a problem in the transmission. However, dropped packets are just part of the the streaming quality issue. Actually not a big deal for me and I do not think this... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Can we list some LPS for the streamers. I am ready to buy ne today if I can get a list streamers to consider. Something for the microRendu would be ideal but for this thread any LPS.Allo Shanti - https://allo.com/sparky/shanti.html | |
| Thiel Owners The reason I sold the DAC3B was to check out the Halo May KTE DAC and also the AudioByte VOX | ZAP | HUB. Both of these DACs are supposed to be better than the DAC3. I am hoping to try both and see for myself. However, they cost 3x more but do mea... | |
| Thiel Owners That Benchmark system in TAS is my system, except I sold the DAC3B last week. I will buy it back later in 2021 since I already miss it.I also did a test with a single AHB2 and turned on mono operation to get more power. I then ran it on 1 CS3.7 sp... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I should add that one way that I am thinking of improving my streaming quality, now that I have the room tamed, is using Fibre Optical cable. One way that streaming can degrade in quality is when analog noise goes from Ethernet to the DAC. My micr... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? @rhg88 This streamer thread has diverged to room correction. However, I am in total agreement with you on the room correct issue. I have an acoustically treated room and my software based room Digital Room Correction is very important piece in my ... | |
