| Computer to DAC Streamer @ahofer Nice link you posted. I went through some articles on this bloggers site and came across this very interesting article that is asking the same question as my thread. The thing I cannot understand is when people like this blogger state tha... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer I found this link today and it has reviews of a few of the items mentioned here (see bottom of page). Sounds like the reviewer is using a streaming method like me.https://www.audiostream.com/content/sonore-simple-design-signature-rendu-seAnother c... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @steakster I have read about the Empirical Audio Off-Ramp 5 and it was getting a lot of good reviews. However, I was thinking that it maybe a bit like my microRendu in the fact that it is a relatively older unit. I am a little biased when it comes... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @audioman58 I know a lot of people prefer JRiver (which I also own) to ROON. My current system is not good enough for me to hear much of a difference (a Pearchtree Nova 150 integrated with DAC). I prefer the GUI on ROON over everything else. Aro... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer One observation that surprised me and validates something that Audiotroy is saying about Ethernet was a YouTube video I saw of GTT Audio’s display at Axpona 2019. Audiotroy’s comment below: We have tested over the years computers with external pow... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @audiotroy I appreciate the time you took to respond with your opinion as to WHY you think it is better to use a dedicated server. I do understand your argument. You also make another interesting point:The fact that many people find that a dedicat... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @mrdon The reason I am looking for something even better than the microRendu (a very good unit) for the office is that some of the components will eventually make it’s way to the downstairs main system. I am not able to use the downstairs room yet... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @junzhang10 I had a mac mini with my music and was not a fan due to constant restore from backups i had to do. I always keep my backup disk near the macmini. I must be an outlier with this experience, otherwise people would not praise the mini. I... | |
| what would you do? http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/munich-2019-sources-and-cables/ An Anthem STR preamplifier ($3999) featuring its latest ARC Genesis room-correction software helped bring out the best from a pair of Paradigm Persona 7F speakers driven... | |
| what would you do? Another option for around 3 grand would be to buy a stand mount and subs.This is what I would do if I were smarter (and not buy a future floor stander) 1) Acoustic treatments (under $1K)2) KEF LS50 passive (what I currently use, used $800+) 3) Su... | |
| what would you do? @labguy If you can swing the panels (the low cost ones I have are not very attractive) they make a world of difference. Prior to the acoustic treatments, I used to try and play the Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream in my room and it was physically p... | |
| what would you do? In my small room I put GIK Acoustics sound panels (total cost $750) and it tamed the bass and other things to now sound excellent. My speakers at the moment are small monitors. However, I believe a small floor stander will also sound good now in t... | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? @smodtactical I heard a few TAD speakers and liked them but the price seemed a little too high relative to the competitors such as KEF. At the store where I went and demoed the TAD ME1 (in Los Angeles) there was a TAD R1 MKII demo on sale. It was... | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more Some new info on NAD. They have partnered with Bruno Putzeys new company. It won't be long before these new components from NAD with the new Class D modules come out.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/nad-electronics-and-purifi-audio-announc... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Prince - 3121I forgot how good this release was. It is also has real nice sonics, must be great on a bigger system. |
