| Thiel Owners I asked a dealer about the #16 last week. He sent an email to CODA to ask about the specs on the #16 at 2 Ohm.Yesterday, I was reading something online (I forget exactly what) about the CODA #16 and that post or review said the 100 watt Class A is... | |

| Music streamers Last night I streamed from my iPhone to ROON via AirPlay2 to my brand new Matrix Mini-i 3 Pro DAC. Sounded very good.I also streamed directly from my computer using Toslink to the same Matrix. It was also rather good.I also streamed from a Sonore ... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @diamonddupree I was referring to the MiniDSP UMIK-1 microphone and not any DAC. This mic is tightly integrated with the REW software. @diamonddupree Get the miniDSP UMIK-1 microphone for $100. Then download on a Windows 10 computer REW software.... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? For me, buying gear is a difficult task, not really fun I also am not too keen on following the advice of an expert on what to get so I do the DD myself. Though I want to hear their opinion. The internet is a great equalizer for me on this regard.... | |
| Thiel Owners Last thing about Convolution filters and then I will stop.I am listening to some rock music now, Robert Plant and Rainbow. I was starting to feel sleepy when I was listening. This used to happen prior to the Convolution implementation (too much so... | |
| Benchmark DAC 3B Vs. Schiit Gungnir Multibit and a question. I just got the Matrix Mini-i-3 Pro and compared it to my Benchmark DAC3B last night. The Matrix was excellent and I think in the same class. It is half the price of the DA3B. The features on the Matrix is outstanding.I bought it for my headphone ... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? I do not know the answer to your upsampling question but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night and learned something interesting.1) I received a new Matrix Mini-i-3 Pro DAC yesterday ($899 MSRP)2) Hooked it up and tried to get ROON via RJ... | |
| Preamp SS to match class D amp I used to have the BAT VK42-SE preamp. Rather liked it. It was warm and mated well with the neutral to dry Brystons I had.The preamp I have now I think is a good match for Class D because it is even quieter than likely ALL Class D amps. It was m... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @diamonddupree Get the miniDSP UMIK-1 microphone for $100. Then download on a Windows 10 computer REW software. I am not sure if it works on a MAC.The free REW software will use the calibration file sent with the microphone and setup your mic. The... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @diamonddupree Your post is such an appropriate post for what I was considering doing, that is get an amp with more power at 2 Ohms, the CODA #8 v1, v2, or v3 (600 - 1600 watts depending on version). I actually got some extra cash today for year e... | |
| Thiel Owners @tmsrdg A shame you cannot use ROON (or JRiver). The Convolution file optimization is incredible. It fixes the room which I think is always the biggest hurdle to great sound at home. For me this a likely a bigger hurdle than most, because of the b... | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 vs 3.7 @yabe1951 My Thiel CS3.7 are really rocking now. You video was an incredible help since it showed me some soldering tricks. I was going to buy a new DAC and a new amp to make the system sound better. However, after all the fixes and a big DSP twea... | |
| FM Tuner for audiophiles-is it a bad idea today? @kennyc I bought my MD 102 when I lived in Los Altos Hills. That is your area and there were a few worth while stations up there. I loved the station that played Latin Jazz on Sunday (Jessie "Chewie" Vera sp?) was the DJ. That was a decade ago. Th... | |
| FM Tuner for audiophiles-is it a bad idea today? @tablejockey KCRW broadcasts on 2 bands, FM and HD radio. The HD radio broadcast is 24 hours of music a day but it is not as good as the FM band selections. On the FM band you hear the DJ’s select and play whatever they feel like that day. I love ... |
