| Higher End DACs @dmance Would a fibre optic cable from the network switch into the DAC solve the analog noise into the DAC? If so that is a relatively cheap solution. For example Sonore SystemOptique or the more expensive Lumin X1 DAC ( $13K ) with fibre optic i... | |
| confused and don't know what to do @raw33 Go to the Audiogon main page and search for KEF. There are more used KEF Blades on A’gon today than at anytime I can remember. An amazing speaker and you can get something like a Hegel integrated, such as Hegel 390 or 590 to drive those Bla... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 The custom covers maybe a good idea since you have a toddler. I should also look into something like that. Those grills are a huge part of my decision since they look solid and my toddler will have some difficulty getting into the drivers. The bla... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars This past week my buddy was staying at my home while getting ready to ditch California for Florida. He brought along a $12K bottle of wine someone gave at his wedding. That is $12K at a restaurant in town that has 2 bottles. Well he and his wife w... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 Just saw this post by the guy that will remotely do my DSP convolution files. This is for Direc 2 but highlights the mans knowledge. https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/dirac-live-2-digital-room-correction-software-walkthrough-r884/ | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 Congrats. In the event that your speakers maybe a little too big for the room, I think you are covered in that case by DSP.If you use digital streaming and digital files for playback via ROON or JRiver, you can use convolution files to adjust the ... | |

| What are the must-see shops in SoCal? Excel AudioBrooks BerdanSunny's (in Corvina)Shelley's StereoThese are the stores that I went for demos and really had a good experience. Google will tell you what they carry. LA may have the most audio stores in a concentrated area than any other... | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation If you are using JRiver or ROON for digital streaming and file playback you have the option of using convolution files to apply DSP to the digital music data. In my case, I will outsource the creation of the convolution files for my 12x11x9 room w... | |
| Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium For my downstairs I am debating whether to get the Pesrona 9H or the Blades. I also have a 3 year old toddler but I am more concerned with the kid knocking the speaker over. Anyways, that decision will wait until the kid is a little older. | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 I have had the DAC1, DAC2 and DAC3 from Benchmark. The DAC1 requires some other electronics to tame the harsh top end. So system matching is very important. The DAC2 and DAC3 are much easier to listen to and they sound similar.You can always try t... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 There are a couple of places that allow a home demo of these speakers for 2 months. That is you buy them and if they don not work in your space they will take them back. I have posted some places that sell them in the posts above.An additional poi... | |
| Streamer recommendation under $3000 @smodtactical I believe the SonicOrbiter operating system that is in the Rendu's can interface with a Windows PC using 1 of the many protocols that are supported by SonicOrbitor. You will have to do some research on that by contacting Small Green ... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 @smodtactical The room I heard the NS 5000 was the worst room imaginable for a demo. I was rather upset that I had driven a far distance to only hear them in a makeshift glass walled boardroom. Just a pathetic demo room. However, I was able to foc... | |
| Streamer recommendation under $3000 Easy, Sonore xxxRendu. They only do Ethernet-2-USB and are ROON READY. I think they invented the steamer Ethernet-2-USB field. They are very active on Computer Audiophile forum, see @Barrows and @Vortecjr. https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/forum... |
