| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? If the dac has a proper quality attenuator rather than adjusting volume in the digital domain there is nothing to be gained from a pre unless it has digital input substituting for the entire analogue stage of the Dac. I have yet to hear a non impe... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? @devin666 Care to offer a texhnical explanation? Is the pre inventing stuff that wasn’t transferred from the DAC? My argument is based on the fact that at a given output voltage and impedance of the DAC all you need is an attenuator. Any additio... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? In most instances the DAC has sufficient gain and sufficiently low impedance to drive the power amp through a pot. InnuOS has the server recommended at 100% which has nothing to do with the question. It is the DAC’s output section that matters. BT... | |
| Single way or multiway There are obvious advantages to be had from a point source phase coherent design. That is why increasingly horn + subwoofer solutions are being favoured by designers. The subwoofer is by design omnidirectional. Complex multi speaker designs have a... | |

| Using fibre optics to break ground level noise @kennyc each setup is different: N.B. I go into the server via Ethernet after double conversion and have no drying up and flattening of the sound as reported by others. I only use a 30 cm stretch of fibre, everything else is ethernet | |

| Network Switches @goleksiak If you had at least made the effort of checking Uptone Audio’s website you’d be aware how churlish and uneducated your question is. It filters and isolates analogue noise, if you need more information you now know where to find it. I... | |
| Network Switches @rivinyl yes indeed. it is designed to be near the streamer and in most instances benefits from having a switch in front of it. | |
| Network Switches @goleksiak Why o why do,we always get self appointed professors to proselytise on first principles when we discuss network issues. Network issues in audio have nothing to do with error correction, lost bits, sum checking and the digital like. In... | |
| Network Switches You might consider adding an Uptone Etherregen behind the switch. It’s moat provides substantial reduction of both ground level and RFI/EMI noise. Use your best Ethernet cable between Etherregen or switch and streamer | |
