| Distorded sound with Tidal I use an external dac though the dac in the Node is pretty good. I have the streamer direct wired to the router nothing between them then coax to the dac and balanced xlr to my integrated amp. I like to keep things simple. I also keep my personal ... | |
| Distorded sound with Tidal I just listened to Let it Bleed a few weeks ago through a Node2i streamer using Tidal sounded fine to me. | |
| Does Digital Try Too Hard? There is no arbitrary waveform it is simply the way the software represents the waveform on the computer, he can manipulate it to look like a lollipop or stair steps or waves or whatever there are no steps or lollipops like he said it's just a laz... | |
| Does Digital Try Too Hard? Ok I re-read your post and you begin with an assumption that the waveform isn't really what we are seeing in the experiment with no other proof than "I do not grant". The only conclusion i can make is you are saying that Monty the engineer som... | |
| Does Digital Try Too Hard? So terry9 are you accusing Monty of somehow messing with the scope or hacking the SW since it showed a perfect smooth waveform ? I am not sure anyone cares whether you grant it simply get the equipment and replicate it or can you prove he was wron... | |
| What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More? You’ll get as many opinions as comments on this, my personal experience is most break in is between the ears, you get accustomed to the sound. President and designer of a speaker company told me that would be the case with his speakers as they are... | |
| Low Cost DACs Might try a Topping D50 about $250 new it uses the latest 9038 sabre chip and is one of the best measuring DAC's. Might find one $200 or less used. | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Your pre and amp should work well together, I’ve had B&W 804’s and found them a bit fatiguing with all solid state gear but not bad either. I know a lot of people will say I’m crazy and you can take for what it’s worth a grain of salt as sfsea... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. +1 @sfseay if you want to go a little less money to get your feet wet in streaming try a Node2i and get a subscription to Tidal or other service you'll have millions of songs at your fingertips. If it does what you want you can look at a bett... | |
| Does Digital Try Too Hard? Other than the quote is out of context, it should read 'If only you could hear what I hear with YOUR ears.' But I notice a lot of this guys quotes are out of context or completely wrong, anyway digital any more sounds fine I hear no glare no matt... | |
| Distorded sound with Tidal Watermarking was implemented by UMG years ago they have supposedly stopped doing it as of a couple of years ago. I think all the streaming services had to do was redownload to get rid of the songs that had them. I don't think they have completely... | |
| PSA: Be Careful Dealing With Uptone Audio I have no dog in this either but the way this looks is the customer bought a used LPS 1 still under warranty which the company tried to fix with a used part that ended up not working so in lieu of trying to fix it again he was offered $185 credit... | |
| i'm looking for something that may not exist Natures wifi would be a fart in the wind and I already own that sound. | |
| Best way to A / B test amps? Use a switch? A very human shortcoming is admitting our biases, we make excuses and delude ourselves but the fact they influence us is a very well known phenomenon. Cables, fuses, cable elevators, green markers, magic mats in the panel box ?? I would never hear... | |
| Ohm Super Sound Cylinder SSC-4900 initial thoughts kinda review Joseph Audio Perspective updated to the graphene 2. Like I said they are a lot more than the Ohm 2000 but at moderate listening levels they give excellent detail. I liked the Ohm’s they had a large window for listening, they just didn’t quite hit ... |
