| Can a dac really be future proof? DACs are already future proof. The numbers will improve but the physiology of human hearing won't and as there are DACs today that are transparent as far as we are concerned... | |
| Streamers in the scheme of things. Of the Simaudio, Bel canto and Lumin I like the Lumin the best. The control app while not as good as roon is a close second , better than the others I've tried. I subscribe to roon on a yearly basis this might be good enough to drop it, I have a ... | |

| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? Depends somewhat on the type of music you listen to and your age. I find most of what I listen to I don't need a subwoofer but my speakers will go down to around 24hz measured with REW | |
| Streamers in the scheme of things. Decided to try another music streamer the Lumin U1 mini. Same results the SQ is no better than raspberry pi4 used as a bridge. I’ve also tried the MiniDSP Studio SHD same results with SQ, except the Dirac is nice. | |
| Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them? I had B&W 804 Nautilus for about 6 years they were good for HT but I usually ended up listening to music with my AKG 701s. | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? I'm not against spending money lord knows I've spent plenty on gear. I like the hobby, I would like to see more people interested and in my opinion the way forward is with companies and designs that are looking to the future not the past. In my op... | |
| Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable? If you're using 24AWG ethernet cable there are 8 wires, using 4 wires each connection you have an effective AWG of 18. Should be OK with 3 watt amp. I made cables from ethernet wire but I used two and twisted all 8 for each connection then put the... | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? Perhaps some are interested in $300 Topping DACs or $30,000 active speakers using DSP. Maybe some see the future of high fidelity there. We can't have an opinion? | |

| Purchase breaks well within 30 days Whether or not the seller knew is only relevant from a personal ethical point of view. What legal recourse the buyer has is spelled out in the various rules that apply. If this sale went through PayPal and he used a credit card and the device brok... | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? Another point he made about speaker tech not changing for decades is true in the audiophile world of passive speakers. There are companies driving the future of high fidelity like Buchardt, Kii, Dutch and Dutch, GGNTKT, Genelec and others with act... | |
| Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable? Since it's AC the impedance would be measured 32 ft. 24AWG would have enough resistance or impedance since it's AC that you could notice a difference especially in the higher frequencies. If you have a bunch of 24AWG just twist the ends together a... |
