| Auralic Aries G2.1 or Innuos Zenith mk3 I have found that Innous changes the sound of the music (waveforms), even when it's used purely as a network streamer. They do some smoothing or modification of the waveforms using DSP. The Auralic has been described as sounding "dryer" than the... | |
| Bulk power cables suggestions I've seen millercarbon pretty much post the exact same message in another thread somewhere. Many have had huge success with DIY cables. VH Audio and high end bulk cables can be very good. I actually like to get a used Audioquest NRG-4 and chop ... | |
| Nordost Heimdall 2 vs Wireworld Eclipse 8 vs Jorma Trinity Speaker Cable? I don't think I would go with the Nordost Heimdall. They would definitely be the lean and sharp character you are expecting because of the silver-plated wire. The Focal speakers are very hard to make sound good because they are so lean and fast.... | |
| Treat SBIR behind your flat screen? I forget what SBIR really stands for but it's when you place a speaker too close to the side wall. SBIR isn't really an effect of the wall behind the speaker. Essentially, if you place your left/right speaker too close to the side wall it create... | |
| Truly Balanced Cheaper Preamplifiers? If you want tube, the Freya is likely the absolute best for the budget. It can sound really excellent with some choice tubes.For solid state, there was a suggestion for Gustard P26. I think that would be the way to go. On the P26, you can actua... | |
| Emotiva XPA DR-2 Gen 3 Amp (AB output - input H) There's a uised ATI AT4002 on usaudiomart for $2000. This is a better version of the Monoprice Monolith amp and it's not that much more than a Emotiva XPA-DR2. | |
| Emotiva XPA DR-2 Gen 3 Amp (AB output - input H) I have two of the XPA-DR2 amps and have also had most of the big Emotiva previous generation monoblocks. The Gen 3 sounds okay, but it is a bit fast and bright in the upper mids and highs. The bass is also somewhat thin. Gen 3 doesn't use fuses ... | |
| Emotiva XPA DR-2 Gen 3 Amp (AB output - input H) Class H describes the main power supply for the amp board. It is a dual-rail design. It will supply +/-35V voltage to the amp board as normal/idle supply. If the audio signal raises to a certain power wattage point (probably around 200-250 watt... | |
| Does it worth a upgrade to Dolby Atmos? I originally came from an Krell HTS 7.1. I currently use a slightly modified Krell S-1200. I have also had a Krell S-1000 in my system. There is definitely a difference between DVD audio and Bluray Audio. The DVD audio (using old school compre... | |

| Coax Digital Out -> XLR Digital Input cable? Coax cable provides DIGITAL signals. XLR cable is ANALOG. Never the two shall meet :-)You should google "AES/EBU" | |
| HDMI Splitter...Sending Audio-Only to Processor well, with cheap chinese tech, you get what you pay for | |
| HDMI Splitter...Sending Audio-Only to Processor FYI, the "audio only" output on the Oppo is not actually audio only. It's a full audio/video signal but it's raw unprocessed video. The "Audio/Video" output on the Oppo is the video signal that adds all the video processing which you can configu... | |
| DIY- NeoTech at Parts Connexion However, I also tried Audio Sensibility OCC ICs and they were not as good as my center wire + /sheath - OFC ICs so not sure how these IC cables would compare. If you tried the Audio Sensibility copper mid/lower end interconnects, these use str... | |
| Repair JL Audio F112 or buy new Rhythmic, SVS, or ?? Guys, that first youtube link shows port chuffing on a Hsu subwoofer with those triangle ports. Granted, this is an extreme example with very low bass that you would not normally get (probably in the 20-35 hz range). Nothing against Hsu in gener... |
