| Room Correction without loosing MQA and DSD @martin-anderson Read some of the comments by @mitchco and read some of his articles posted on the site. I just bought his book on setting up DSP via convolution files. I hope to get back into reading it once my job stuff is under control. He also... | |
| Room Correction without loosing MQA and DSD I am looking into Convolution files inserted into my ROON server to do DSP. You measure the room and then use some software to fit a few established performance curves. One curve for each file. https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/bits-and-bytes/a-new... | |

| Point of diminishing return for a DAC Get the MacMini out of the picture by buying something relatively cheap like the following. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9j9ee-sonore-ultrarendu-network-streamer-ifi-ipower-power-supply-roon-ready-21642-music-servers-docks It is ROON READY... | |
| What are your top three live concerts of all time? @edcyn The Bob Marley at the Roxy disc is one that I have to listen to once a month. Just a fantastic show. I can only imagine how you must have felt to actually see that show live.1. Rush In Toronto 2. Pearl Jam in San Francisco3. Santana in Toronto | |
| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? If you are not using something soft further downstream from a Benchmark DAC1 then you may find it a little fatiguing. I have owned DAC1, DAC2, and DAC3. I would suggest a used DAC2. If you do not need a volume control in your DAC then Benchmark ha... | |
| Need 20 - 25 foot spk cables. but then again a long run of preamp to amp cables would be pretty pricy as well. Not true. I am going to run long interconnects (maybe 20-30 feet) and I do not expect to spend too much, somewhere from $100 - $500. I also do not expect to suffer i... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs The TAD ME1 monitor maybe better on the mids and highs than the Salon. I owned Salon1 for a long time and I actually prefer my KEF LS50s over the mids and highs on the Salon1. I understand the Salon2 has the BE driver but I am not a huge fan of th... | |

| Dynaudio Contour 30 vs. Focal Kanta No. 2 speaker Kanta 2 are supposed to be OK even in a room as small as 11x13. https://www.tonepublications.com/review/focals-kanta-no-2-speakers/ | |
| Benchmark DAC3 or Bryston BDA2 or 3 I had Benchmark DAC2 and DAC3. I should not have upgraded to the DAC3. There was no audible difference in my modest setup. | |
| Review of STi5 server (Small Green Computer) and Signature Series Rendu renderer (Sonore) @solus Great write up. Have you tested running some music from your computer to the Signature Series Rendu. I use a microRendu and cannot get myself to buy a audiophile music server since I think the Rendu's isolate the computer from the DAC.I a... | |
