| Merging NADAC with Innuos Zenith Roon core? I don’t know what a Merging NADAC is but I will share that I didn’t like the Innuos as a Roon core. It is the only roon core I ever heard that I thought affected the sound. I think Innuos wants you to use the Sense app. Make your own decisions, j... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype I think you'll be perfectly happy with a $99 Chinese DAC. Go for it. | |
| AC Power @signaforce Sorry about that. I am an Engineering Manager in the electric power industry with 40+ years experience. I have degrees in engineering and physics from well respected universities including the University of Chicago (physics, 1980). ... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @aberyclark I just wanted to point out the 2 different definitions of a "quality power cable" that might require 2 different answers to your question. | |
| AC Power Your nephew is clueless about electricity but don’t feel bad, most people are. The disturbances in your 60 cycle sine wave come from outside the home, mostly from industrial loads. We have non-cyclic loads and supplies now that morph the sine wav... | |
| Thinking of changing things up. Need advice on DAC/Streamers Combining them limits your choices. Many people go the other way. One other combo that gets great feedback is the Grimm MU2. I use the MU1 streamer and am very happy with it. I've never heard the DAC in the MU2. Jerry | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @aberyclark You postulate a $100 cable--something similar to Ice Age Cables basic cable which I use for the basid "upgrae cable". That makes a lot of sense to me for a manufacturer to include that. Now to include a $4000, for example, cable wo... | |
| What happened to the Innous discussion The "innuos is a scam" thread was full of confusion. The person who posted it was being sarcastic, referencing an article by ASR, whose articles are always clickbait trash. But some thought he was serious. Others knew it was a joke. Some conti... | |
| I am sad @samureyex It seems you enjoy self-identifying as a victim. | |
| What should I upgrade next in my system? Quite the list all the way down to your earbuds. I read through it quickly and didn't see a DAC. I assume you're looking for good 2 channel sound kindof islolated inside your HT system. that's what I have. So a streamer won't do much good... | |
| Raven Audio Soniquil Cables: Misrepresented Build & Tarnishing Connectors? As this thread progresses I'm reminded of Hanlon's razor: Don't assume malice (or evil) when the facts can be explained by incompetence (or stupidity). Incompetence might be a strong word as grannyring has pointed out several ways the misrepre... | |
| Is a Sophia Electric Baby & Yarland FV-34C MkIV the same amp internally? absolutely not. Most relabeled amps have the same layout so if the tubes, etc aren’t laid out the same, they probably are a different design. But these 2 amps don’t even use the same tubes. Yarland uses an EL84, similar to the Decware UFO, but t... | |
| My experience with Sophia Electric Baby II Amplifier The origninal Baby was my first tube amp and I kept it, perhaps from nostalgia. I don't have experience with the Baby II. but these amps are excellent in their price range. I have become a huge fan of the SET amp so I've wanted to hear the baby... | |
| I am sad I currently have 5 amps I could switch in. I need to sell about 4, but I wall always have a spare amp and DAC so I will never be out of music for even a day. Now the spare amps are much, much less pricey than my main amp, but you can get a large ... |
