also, why do most people recommend the "Less is More" version of the Yggy over the "More is Better" version?
Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use
I just added a Rogue RP-1 to my system. I use a Bluesound Vault 2 as a music server. Befor the Rogue I have been able to tell the difference in different DAC's I've had. My equipment is Emotiva XMC-1, Oppo 105, Bluesound Vault 2, AV123 strata Mini speakers and a SVS 300bp subwoofer.
I've compared the Oppo 105 to the Vault and the Oppo was definitely better, I've also compared the Vault to the XMC-1 and the XMC-1 was better.
Since installing the Rogue RP-1 they all seem to sound the same, even borrowed a Schiit Bitfrost. Again I could not hear a difference. So I have just simplified my setup and I'm just using the the RCA out from the Vault to one of the RP-1 inputs.
Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong
Thanks

What I said was
You chose to only use a part of my post. Taking into consideration what I said about associated equipment and room acoustics instead of leaving it out and labeling my statement a cliche isn’t going to help you or the OP. Stop taking things out of context. That’s bad form. |
@audphile1 "That's bad form". Good one! Bad form is doubling down on a useless post. I left out " (it’s not RP1 cause it’s pretty transparent) and or your room acoustics are bad or all of the above." Are you saying that the room acoustics came in to play only after he switched to the RP1? He could distinguish between dacs before he switched. Look at @thegreenline post above as a logical explanation. It appears that being called out is bad form to you. |
I am using BlueJean Cables throughout (speakers digital and RCA). I even switched from optical to coax out on the vault. Still can't really hear a difference. Let me correct the part about can't hear a difference. I can hear a slight difference neither one sounds better just slightly different. When I have my daughter switch back and forth I can tell there is a difference, not better or worse just different, but I can't tell which is which. Not a true blind test but close enough. |
