| Streamer with AES3 Out and no DAC That’s alright I wish they did the Matrix were nice looking units. It looks like it’s down to Cocktail and Simaudio which have remotes and Lumin which has a great interface. I read the Simaudio moon app is terrible. The Cocktail you use a browser ... | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? They do but they would have to be shipped from Europe and the time frame was months for getting them. It seems noone stocks the stands I guess because the speakers are sold in pro shops. At least that’s the only place I could find them. I made an ... | |
| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? Not for awhile but I just sold my Joseph audio Perspectives and went with Dutch and Dutch 8c which are about 55 lbs. The Skylan stands were recommended to me by someone who has the same speakers. They look like well made stands and you can load th... | |

| Low incoming voltage Keep calling the electrical company. They allowed these cannabis factories to pop up in an area without sufficient supply lines. If they're going to ration service and you were there first raise hell on up the ladder as far as the regulatory agen... | |
| What do you think of this power cord? The copper in your walls is 6 nines. 99.9999 pure copper. I've considered some aftermarket cords but only because the ones that come with components are sometimes a hassle to keep neat they're so long. | |
| Bass Issues REW and a microphone. | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences I'd like to hear Kii 3 or Dutch and Dutch 8c both which use class D one of those might be my next speaker. | |
| Node 2i interface/app, a beginner's question If you or you son know anything about computers an inexpensive way to stream is with a raspberry pi4 connected by ethernet and then to your preamp. There are different ways of doing it but controlling it by phone or tablet is pretty easy. Here's a... | |
| Upgrade Question The OP said he "loves" the sound of his CDP. It uses a Delta Sigma DAC. Hence my suggestion. What continues to gripe me is how the hell does anyone know what I have tried? Yeah I've heard these NOS R2R distortion generators. | |
| Upgrade Question After looking up the specs on your CD player I wouldn't worry to much about being left behind it looks as if Musical Fidelity looked ahead. I would wager the DAC performs better than some of the ones mentioned here. If you like the sound you're ge... | |
