| Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP? I tried the eR with both my Lumin X1 and Musetec 005 DAC + Sonore OpticalRendu (both fibre solutions). | |
| Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP? A lot of people are doing this now. Jon Swenson (eR designer) recommended using an FMC in front of the fibre. Which is what the EtherRegen does in reverse order, B > A. I do this in one of my streamers. Since I do this and fibre I do not care ... | |
| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k Here is another use for ROON if you are a headphone listener. Store - Accurate Sound Those Headphone FilterSets are Convolution filters that can be run on ROON. I used to use the RAAL SR1a Convolution filter with my Benchmark DAC3B and LA4 pream... | |
| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k was able to A/B test the MSB with the Lumin X1 for a couple of weeks and found the MSB to be more analog sounding than the Lumin X1. This what I also posted about the X1 vs the Musetec 005. Though for my ears the X1 is slightly favored over the... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Someone really needs to offer audiophiles double blind test with exact same lineup of major equipment, one modded and tuned, other with no optimization. Which system wins this shootout? All I know is that I've benefit tested much equipment/varia... | |
| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k @designsfx My fav is the Lumin transport into the Lumin DAC. The Lumin gets a fibre stream from an FMC, in my case the EtherRegen (B > A). Some people may prefer the Musetec 005 streamed with a Sonore OpticalRendu which also gets the stream v... | |
| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k I am currently, experimenting with multiple permutations of streaming setup. I calculated that I now have 6 potential streaming paths with the gear I have (using ROON): - 3 Sonore OpticalRendu’s with LPS - Lumin X1 DAC/streamer - Sonore UltraDi... | |
| Whats the ultimate goal with your pre amp ? Do a 30-day home trial with your system and ears of the Benchmark LA4 preamp. Uncolored, XLR, pure silence from the tweeters, and the volume control is amazing. The volume control does click but that is a benefit for me since it has 256 steps. Be... | |
| David Crosby R.I.P. Local radio station, KCRW, was saying that he was recording new music with a live band. So likely to see some new music in the future. I guess that means the music was not put together on a computer, like a lot of artists these days. I was listen... | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC @jetter My new PEachtree GAN1 amp only has 1 input, it is a SPDIF. To get my Fibre stream into that amp I bought a $499 Sonore UltraDigital. I also bought a WyWire SPDIF cable with BNC on one end and SPDIF on the other. The UltraDigital comes with... | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC Would anyone here with engineering background will bother to explain how the network streamer affects the sound quality, or can point to any research or documentation from the web? Thanks UpTone-J.Swenson EtherREGEN ’white paper’.pdf (shopify.c... | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC I have 1 DAC that cost $3300 and another that cost $14000 (but with built-in streaming). In terms of the DAC sound, I like both equally. The higher priced DAC showed me that the laws of diminishing returns seem to be very strong for DACs. With my... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers When I was helping a friend setup ROON streaming in his workshop I ordered a 100-foot fibre optical cable from Sonore. The person at Sonore told me that longer cables are actually better for fibre optical. I was asking him if such a long length wo... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @sns I am going to go with the SPDIF on the Benchmark DAC3B to RAAL VM-1a tube amp. It sounds a bit better to me, and that is what matters. I am currently testing the i2s on the Musetec 005. I can really do a nice apples-to-apples comparison with... | |
| Thorsten Loesch vs Amir The Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 has a headless Pink Panther. The Topping D90SE has a sweet spot Pink Panther. I recently sold a Topping D90LE (the non-MQA version of S90SE). Thank goodness for ASR because they helped me sell the DAC qui... |
