| Multiple audio systems in different rooms; how to link them with streaming gear? I do this in my home using ROON and Powerline adapters for multiple rooms. Amazon.com: TP-Link AV600 Powerline Ethernet Adapter - Plug&Play, Power Saving, Nano Powerline Adapter, Expand Home Network with Stable Connections (TL-PA4010 KIT) : E... | |
| Rogue CM2 I use a Schitt Yggi+ LM DAC with the LSR+. An excellent combo. | |
| Would my DAC matter? Are you a ROON or JRiver user? If so for less than the price of the MiniDSP you can get state of the art DSP by this guy. Digital Room Correction (DRC) Calibration - Accurate Sound He will implement a custom solution for you gear and room remotel... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 I believe one of the dealers on this forum has a demo Weiss unit that can be tested out at home. | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @ddafoe That makes sense. I was lucky that I liked the cheaper DAC more than the Lumin X1. I definitely like it more on the RAAL SR1a and VM-1a amp. On my 2-channel I think it is less of a difference. A lot of this is the synergy with the gear yo... | |
| Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged? I owned the AHB2 about 5x and likely going to get a pair of monos again for either my Yamaha NS5000 or Magenpan LRS+. The NS5000 would be great with the AHB2. The LRS+ maybe not the best, but I think I will take the chance. I have a CODA #16 and I... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @jjss49 The Musetec 005 is a very smooth and slightly warm DAC. It was perfect when I was using my RAAL SR1a phones with my 2-channel amps. The RAAL is bright. My speakers were also neutral so the 005 did work well there too. When I got the RAAL ... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 The best DAC I have owned is the Schitt Yggi+ LESS IS MORE version that I recently got. I am using a Sonore OpticalRendu to stream USB via fibre, so that is a big part of it. I like the Yiggi+ over my recently sold Lumin X1 and Musetec 005. I lik... | |
| Pre-Meta KEF Reference 1 or LS50 Meta The KEF KC62 with the LS50 Meta plays deeper than the Reference 1. Not sure about sonics being in a different league. I have heard both and own the LS50 Meta and sub. My gear at home is likely better (for my ears) than the gear I heard with the Re... | |
| Yamaha ns 5000 Congrats. Hope that solves the fatigue issue for you. I actually got some inspiration from your NS5000 videos for my NS5000 placement. First thing I did was remove a wooden shelf out from in-between the speakers. Then toed-in a bit like you have,... | |
| Pre-Meta KEF Reference 1 or LS50 Meta The LS50 Meta + KC62 sub is what I decoded to keep vs the similarly priced used Reference 1. The Meta was a very noticeable improvement over the older LS50. A lot of people say otherwise, but I hear a much better speaker in the Meta over the non-... | |
| Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less ** @oblgny Give the LRS+ about 300 to 400 hours. Mine has gotten much better with more playback. My room is also small which I think helps the LRS+. | |
| Garbage In Garbage out I have a feeling that the latest Maria amps he is making is very similar to the PeachTree GAN1. His has support for analog sources (via A2D conversion) and a volume control. both of which the GAN1 lack. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 or Class D (GaN FET) I have owned the AHB2 about 5 times during the past 10 years. I think I may have made money on the amps, though that was not the intention. I have the Peachtree GAN1 that I mentioned in my prior post. I also have the Peachtree GAN400. I was total... | |
| Amp vs Preamp which is more important? I need a preamp since I have a few analog sources on my 2 systems. I use 2 preamps that are utterly silent and impart minimal sound to the signal. Both the Holo Serene and Benchmark LA4 are as silent as it gets, and I love them both with every amp... |
