| Old phones as streaming sources Earlier in the thread some negativity if not distinct animosity was directed at the poor little phone. It stinks, is shite, it sucks, ….really? I feel some need to defend this diminutive communications device and it’s heritage, particularly as it ... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources That more like it. I was beginning to feel completely mis-understood, not to mention stirring some mysterious anger towards inanimate objects that is just not good for you, people. Thanks for this first line @benanders you recruited a lot of s... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @fuzztone It needs to be noted that a Pi is not a "single purpose" built device. It was conceived and built as a small computer that would be a teaching tool to get young folks interested in computers and programming. They are frequently used as a... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @soix So, did you compare running the iPhone direct into the DAC8 versus going through your Aries? If you don’t hear a significant improvement through the Aries, well, let’s just say we greatly differ in our experiences. The Auralic Aries i... | |
| Will streaming ever be "audiophile-worthy"? OP Curious question. Mind sharing why you ask? | |
| Drag on driver causing noise @toddalin +1 I was going to suggest the same. | |
| Old phones as streaming sources My central point is that by stripping away as many of the non-essential functions of the phone as possible I perceive it to improve as a digital source and I wonder if others have similar experiences. The persuasive explanation for this would be t... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources Well that is fine @soix , but I think you would be better served by prefacing your comments with "in my opinion" which is what it is. My points of reference are a Auralic Aries streamer and a OktoResearch Dac8, both of which are in another league ... | |
| All speakers have a little EQ built in @elliottbnewcombjr I’m with you 100% on the AR’s, I used to listen to the Nightbird on AR 4’s. I restored the 2 AX’s and they help reinforce that hi-fi hasn’t changed as much as some people think in the last 50 years. :-) I had to recon the woofer... | |
| All speakers have a little EQ built in @dougsat I agree. Since building two pairs of open baffle, single driver speakers with no crossovers, I have found that they have virtues that sit them equal to my LS 50s, Klipsch heresy, ones, and AR 2AX’s. I also have measured my hearing and hav... | |
| Very Very Interesting NYC Venue and Meeting Place @pindac Thanks! This is an interesting place with a philosophy of listening that appeals. May visit. Always interested in promising speaker and amp kits and plans. | |
| Sun Valley vs Sun Audio 300b @clustrocasual I am also interested in your quest. Seems like one day I will have to build a 300B and have followed Skunkie and others on the topic. The thing about Vikto Kung is that it is not clear how you buy from him, at least from what I have... | |
| Very Very Interesting NYC Venue and Meeting Place There is no link in your post now. Was it removed? | |

| Good measuring DACs vs. Truth and beauty are two different things. |
