Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
My opinions are all based on listening.  I can't really give you a good "engineering description" of why I'm not getting the best sound from Teddo Pardo on analog components.  Sorry.  
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
I have recent experience with Teddy Pardo power supplies.  If you are going to use Blusound for a transport only with Denfrips as a DAC, then the Teddy Pardo is just fine.  However, I don't think Teddy Pardo is that great for analog device (such a... 
No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01
USPS insurance is a joke.  If you submit a claim, they basically require you to submit the item to them for review.  Then they wait weeks and weeks and weeks until you lose patience and just demand your damaged item back.  Others - let me know if ... 
Jcat netcard XE and USB PINK FAUN on which PCIE ports?
@yage - the OP is not wasting his money because the USB transport plays a significant role in the sound quality.@cpasmoi - I don't know that there is a specific recommendation here.  You really don't need CPU direct interface speeds because the ca... 
I want to get a processor...Where do I connect the surrounds
Normally, the main left/right channels are almost a requirement on processors.  This is because they are the "priority" channel.  If you have center channel or surround channels disabled, the processor will usually mix in those signals to the left... 
Analog to digital interface
Here's a very technical teardown and measurements of the Clarett 2Pre:https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/focusrite-clarett-2pre-usb-tear-down-bit-...It doesn't give any opinions.  It only shows technical descriptions of cir... 
Analog to digital interface
@phastrone - I was really responding to phantum989 because he wants 8 analog inputs, but if you are still looking for something, you should look at the Focusrite Clarett 2Pre since you only need 2 analog inputs (left/right).  The Clarett series is... 
Audio interface not recognized
Uninstall/re-install the drivers?  Check if other USB components work on that USB port.  What operating system are you running?  This is more of a PC question and people on this board may not have those skills. 
Analog to digital interface
I would recommend a Focusrite Clarett 4Pre with a Farad Super3 linear power supply.  Even though it's named "4Pre", this actually has 8 analog inputs.  A lot of people don't realize that the linear power supply delivers a significant impact to sou...

yup, 4800x is the latest Roku Ultra. 
Is it worth fixing to sell Parasound P DD 1500 Digital Surround Decoder
I think it would probably cost more to try to fix this as it sounds like a digital circuit problem.  It looks like recent sales were $77, $99, and $185, so I would say it's not worth trying to fix.   
Arrange circuit breakers in panel
I would recommend making sure your "audio/video" breakers are definitely on the same pole.  In most standard US panels, the poles alternate on each sequential breaker position.  So you would have to "skip" a breaker location in between each audio/... 
Need Help Choosing UST Projector Screen
The most important thing is to make sure you get a "real" short throw "ambient light rejecting" screen.  A lot of distributors put screens in the "short throw" category, but they are nothing different than a normal flat/textured screen and really ... 
Tube vs solid state (with all apologies)
When looking at guitar amplifiers, the entire goal here is creativity of sound texture. This is an artist area where the artist dials in and decides how the guitar is "supposed to sound". The circuits for guitar amps are radically different becaus... 
HDMI ARC or Optical out ?
Perhaps not as critical, there are lots of HDMI cable options, though videophiles seem to like Wireworld The thing with HDMI cables is that they are typically engineered to use the best wire for only the 4 primary data conductors (which are act...
