| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! USB optimization should make a very nice difference. As to FMC kit…if you’re planning on converting copper to fiber optic then back to copper, I wouldn’t bother. Just my opinion though. | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @sns here’s the review with some photos…it looks to be nicely isolated. Solid case work. https://theaudiophileman.com/smoothlan-network-enhancer-from-stack/ @mclinnguy comments and observations remind me of my experience with Network Acoustics E... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @brunomarcs I tried fiber optic conversion with 3 streamers and it never sounded natural to me. I have the modules in the box sitting around collecting dust. I also ownef Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System that I used with 2 streamers. I didn’... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @brunomarcs few things to consider… 1. Locate your router or mesh node or extender as far from your components and cables as possible - this eliminates EMI and RFI 2. don’t have your network components plugged into the same circuit with your sys... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @milpai nice and well thought out system you have there. If you want to try the SA-10 like I said if you find a killer deal on it you can flip it if you don’t like it. Use your oppo until you can try luxman or esoteric is what I’d recommend. I did... | |
| Amp for Sopra No. 1 Integrated or separates? | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @fauguy no you do not “have to” use i2s. My Aurender N200 into PS Audio DSD via USB comfortably beat SA10 playing high res from Qobuz or Tidal and DSD files from my local library on SSD. If you have to spin a physical SACD just get a transport wit... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @milpai could be. If it works for you, that’s great! | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I don’t get the love for SA-10. I owned it for about a month. Yeah it’s built extremely well, feels hefty and has a buttery smooth operation. But to me it just doesn’t sound right. Engaging those filters outside of a default setting makes it even ... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @brunomarcs just curious what noise you have in your system and why you think it’s due to network. | |
| Home network router question With mesh network it doesn’t really matter where the modem/router is located as long as you have the nodes positioned in the right locations throughout the house. | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass Congrats on this excellent system! As others mentioned, run a frequency test. These speakers should have solid bass. Wilson recommendation in a manual for my Sabrina is speaker to listening position should be 1.1 to 1.2 times the distance betwe... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer I don’t want monkeys to monkey around with my 1s and 0s. Intel will do just fine… | |
| Shanling ET3 transport: anyone changed or upgraded the fuse Not being able to replace the fuse if it blows without voiding warranty is nonsense. Not being able to upgrade the fuse be a deal breaker is just as crazy. Fuse is not what makes the transport better. It’s the quality of parts, clock and power s... | |
| Wilson Sasha 1 vs Sasha 2.... What songs best convey tweeter differences? Look at a speaker as a whole. Think about how you will integrate them into your room. Speakers can sound hot, tiresome and shrill for many reasons and tweeter is just one potential culprit. Inadequate amplification that can’t get the bass right, r... |
