| Robbie Robertson: "Killers Of The Flower Moon" Soundtrack Fav movie is the Color of Money, Scorsese, Robbie, and Paul Newman. My all-time 3 favorites. I have not seen a movie in about 5 years but want to see this new one. | |
| CODA amp No.8, Bryston 4B3, or Ayre VX-5 Twenty If you want to hear something different, you should try out the Benchmark AHB2 amp over the CODA. #8 and the 4B3. I do not remember how the Ayre sounded. I am someone who owned the #8 (a very good amp) and now own the CODA #16 (love it). I have ... | |
| Anybody here pair a Kinki EX-M7 with a Magnepan LRS+ ? I forgot to ask Roger, but I did read that online somewhere. That was a positive for me. Roger told me the name of the amp derives from it originally being designed specifically for Maggies (Mag - tech). | |
| CD/ SACD advice needed This is what I posted about above. I paid $700. It is DSD out from the OPPO player into your DAC via the D.BOB. Amazon.com: GeerFab Audio - D.BOB Digital Breakout Box : Electronics I got it from Uptown Audio in Los Angeles. GeerFab Audio D.BOB ... | |
| Anybody here pair a Kinki EX-M7 with a Magnepan LRS+ ? @tubeguy76 the best PeachTree amp is the GAN1 and if modded by Ric at TweakAudio then it is screamingly good. However, the 200 watts in that amp will not drive the LRS+ to the levels I have now. The Peachtree GAN400 is really good for the money, ... | |
| CD/ SACD advice needed I use a $700-$900 device called a D.BOB that can decode DSD into my external DAC, a Schitt Yggi+ LM. I have a used ratty $200 Oppo BluRay player to send DSD or PCM via HDMI to the D.BOB. Sounds pretty fine to my ears. I used to own one of the ve... | |
| USB Cable Well I have not confirmed anything, I just posted some data that seems to support what I am saying. You were making a definite claim that streaming is lossy (and thus UDP), such as watching a live sporting event on streaming video. I used to thi... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? I am someone who said my PeachTree GAN1 (has to be modded) was as good as about $30K of gear. I am also someone who said my gear is end game and threw out all my shipping boxes, except the amp, in-case of repairs. My other gear is a short driving... | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? Benchmark XLR are some fine cables and cost almost nothing on a relative scale. You definitely do not need expensive XLR cables. That link above is likely about AES48 (which I concur). | |
| Anybody here pair a Kinki EX-M7 with a Magnepan LRS+ ? I had those amps under consideration for my LRS+. The LRS+ needs a lot of power. I tried the following: PeachTree GAN400 (very low cost and what I would get if I went Class D) CODA #16 (mind-blowingly good $$$) Sanders Sound System Magtech (a... | |
| USB Cable @carlsbad2 Current high end streaming is supposed to be TCP from discussion on A’gon. I have no time to Google this to show proof. In the past I believe music streaming was UDP. I have ChatGPT open and asked it the question. Music stream... | |
| USB Cable I honestly do not know, you can start a new thread and conduct a poll. Million dollar or inexpensive music streamer/server…they all have a processor at heart. The premise here is, a general purpose PC is not optimized or optimal for audio streami... | |
| USB Cable No further affirmations needed! There are several folks here, who took the initiative to audition a high quality streamer over PC; heard the obvious improvements and couldn’t go back to PC as their prime source for streaming. The 1’s and 0’s and... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? The modified Peachtree GaN 1 is incredible. +1 | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER I am going to get the Dream DAC (not from OCD Guy). This is my last item to get. I will not use the DAC direct to amp. I will use it with the $2500 Benchmark LA4 preamp. I can actually test the quality of the Dream direct to amp if it has RCA out... |
