| Looking for a new DAC I did not see a budget, but another plug for Merason. They offer a very balanced, musical sound. I have their mid-tier model, the Reuss, which replaced a Gungnir MB. Other DAC’s I have had in my system include the Yggy MIB and Rockna Wavedream, I ... | |
| An IEC with grip @hbarrel Thanks for posting. I looked at these, but the reviews seemed a bit mixed, and I was not sure of the grip strength. If the Sonarquest don’t do the trick, I will give them a try. | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs Aurender N10 comparisons? I personally cannot recommend the move to the N10, you would gain a better clock, but I doubt you would find the musical improvement you seek with this change. Instead, I would recommend you look at DDC’s that accept USB in, and offer AES out. Thi... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs Aurender N10 comparisons? I can’t speak for the Eversolo, but I did own the N10 and it has a very good clock and would likely sound very good using the AES connection. I did not get along with the Conductor software and switched to an Innuos, which is I think is considered... | |
| An IEC with grip @ctromeo87 @williewonka Any recommendations for crimping tools for the fp209? It sounds like they are pretty tough to crimp. | |
| An IEC with grip @williewonka that is very useful, thanks. I ordered the gold Furutech spades, any recommendations for a solder to use? | |
| Streaming network puzzle @mattmiller Who’s doing the drinking? I spent my career in tech, these are things I think about, I like puzzles and am prone to solving them. If I start sharing my WireShark traces you can stop me. My system is available for review on this site. | |
| An IEC with grip @ctromeo87 thanks. Do you solder or crimp? | |
| An IEC with grip @williewonka thanks for the spade tip, I have struggled with jamming 10 AWG wire into clamps. Now I need to obsess over the “right” spade to use. 😀 I also ordered some Sonarquest plugs. Too bad they don’t have a US source, it will be a long wait. ... | |
| An IEC with grip @williewonka Thanks, I will give those a try. @ctromeo87 I am trying out the Iego's, and they do have a great grip and are well constructed, thanks for the advice. They are a tight squeeze for larger cords, 10 awg, so I may give something else a ... | |
| Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable Several years ago, @soix gave me the same recommendation for the Satori cables. I had tried 4-5 others methodically before buying a pair of the AZ cables. Putting these in my system made me a believer, they will improve your system. Same goes for... | |
| Seeking help with the Innuos Sense app That is great to hear Howard! Enjoy the Innuos. And thanks for reporting back with your success. | |
| Is this a subwoofer issue or just Amp A is the keeper, the sub is an irrelevant variable. Keep A, and spend more time on the integration as suggested. | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Miles Davis, My Funny Valentine. Great recording and performance. | |
| New DAC issues @audioman58 I did end up with a Merason, and it was a clear upgrade from the Gungnir. I also had the chance to try an Yggy, the Reuss beat that as well. Very musical. |
