| ZEN Mini S vs. Small Green Computer Sonic Transporter i5 music server/Ultra Rendu Streamer I have the opticalRendu and a Lumin X1 with both doing fibre optic streaming. Both are great and I like the oR a bit more. I think it sounds a bit more refined vs the wild child of the X1. My 3rd streamer, Playback Designs Plink, is also fibre op... | |
| Recommendations for the best headphones with equalization after severe acoustic injury @classicalpiano Give Mitch a call and describe your hearing issue. He can customize anything for your needs. I went with him after reading his DSP book. He is also very well known on the ComputerAudiophile web site. Accurate Sound Reproduction Us... | |
| Recommendations for the best headphones with equalization after severe acoustic injury Another option for EQ is to talk with Mitch Barnet of accuratesound.ca. Since you are ROON user you can get better EQ using Convolution filters inside ROON. This is better than the standard ROON EQ. Mitch can make them for any phone. He is a bit o... | |
| Recommendations for the best headphones with equalization after severe acoustic injury I was speaking with Danny McKinney at RAAL Requisite on Friday. He told me that he had spent that last 6 years designing an equalization system. The tech details were a little over my head, but he was using some 1930s tube magic and other things t... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers I also have a Playback Desing Plink fibre streamer. Getting a Playback Designs DAC in the next few months. The fibre cables in this streamer are different from what is used in the Sonore and Lumin X1 gear. I believe it is considered industrial gra... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @mbolek I have a call with the dealer on Tues. Along with the sonics, I am interested in how the WiFi will work with ROON. Also, whether it has a has a remote control. The bi-amping feature is another thing I want to understand. Hope you can pos... | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? @jeffseight I can send Ric's modded Peachtree GAN1 but I cannot make it up to either location, working too much. You need a SPDIF streamer and volume control. I have a few options at home to do both. | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers @krell_fan1 I have been singing the praises of the Sonore Optic streaming stuff for a while. I had 3 OpticRendu's but sold 2 recently. Reason being is that I got the Lumin X1 DAC which also has fibre streaming, along with 2 output streaming. I d... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Depending on how good the GAN1 amp is I am thinking of trying the Maria amp for 30-days with the KEF Blade 2 Meta that I am getting. I have saved up cash to buy an expensive DAC but the idea of a single box, DAC, volume, and at least 1 analog inpu... | |
| New Class D amplifiers @ricevs mentioned this new brand to me a few days ago. Ric is modding my Peachtree GAN1 (to his preferences of course). This other amp he mentioned is the same as the GAN1 in spirit. It is more robust in that it has a volume, analog inputs, likely... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @f208frank Congrats on the DAC. How are you streaming to it? I have a PLink streamer but no Playback Desings DAC 😀 so I have no clue how the PLink sounds. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Of topic but interesting for me. When I have the KEF KC62 sub working I think the Benchmark AHB2 monos with the KEF LS50 Meta is my best 2-channel setup, better than the CODA. A bit more clarity and the sub fills in the bass nicely. Now that the... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I should get the amp back early next week. On the following Saturday I will take it to an audio manufacturer and musician who has an incredible ear. I am helping him with some other things, and I want him to hear the GAN1 along with my Lumin X1 + ... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! Only audio gear of interest to me is the room. Everything else is easy enough. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Anyone with a Musetec 005 used the PS Audio PerfectWave Transport with it using the i2s input on the 005? PerfectWave SACD Transport – PS Audio |
