| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE Just to be clear, I realize my friends stuff is way outside my budget of course. But, if I listen to dacs such as those I listed, I may learn just how a really good dac can sound. I also may learn that my ears just can't hear the difference or th... | |

| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE Thank you for the replies. I wondered if Bard was an AI tool. I confirmed with a search. Very cool. @ghdprentice Thanks for posting your findings. I'll have to play with that AI tool a bit. If Bard was the final word, I'd lean towards the Yggdras... | |
| Troubleshooting my Dac Thanks all for the comments and ideas!I wasn't very clear on "how" everything is switched on. The programmable outlet just turns on the Panamax power center which has 10 outlets. 2 of which are high current outlets with adjustable ON delays. My ... | |
| Troubleshooting my Dac Oh, forgot to add that all interconnect connections are solid. They are also only a year or two old. | |
| Wyred4S or Bluesound Node 2i Thanks jl35. As far as I can see in advanced settings, Sonos just has an audio compression setting which I have set to uncompressed. Tidal account is HiFi.Perhaps a re-clocker like the W4S Remedy between my Sonos Connect and my Dac would help.And... | |
| Wyred4S or Bluesound Node 2i Thanks for the reply’s.Jond, so I have been able to share a Tidal account with a friend from time to time. The Sonos controller on my iPad makes it easy to select the same music from Tidal or Spotify. To be honest, I don’t hear the obvious impro... | |
| Changed amplifiers and need some feedback... Inspected the inside of the amp tonight. The left channel speaker terminal had the polarity reversed. A simple 5 minute job with the soldering iron and it’s back in phase😊. Simple mistake, simple fix. I’m going to replace the blue power led to... | |
| Changed amplifiers and need some feedback... PROBLEM SOLVED!!!If I reverse the polarity of either the left or right channel, the sound is beautiful! The bass is back, the voices and instruments are where they belong! I'll look under the hood later and look for a couple wires that are rever... | |
| Changed amplifiers and need some feedback... Lowrider57, my music only system is just a two channel stereo. I have a HT system in the same room and made the reference to the rear surrounds, but only to help describe what I was hearing. But, I too thought I should try reversing polarity on ... | |

| Just a bit to bright Atmashpere, Onhwy61, Lowrider67 & Viridian.... Thank you for the comments and suggestions. Points well taken, I have quite a few things to experiment with before jumping into switching amps and preamps. Even though I did build my speakers I wo... | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... In time, I will be trying an upgraded power cord.... I have to hear for myself. For now, I am really enjoying my NAD integrated amp! I'm glad I came here for guidance!By the way, just a side note: today is the great Ludwig Von Beethoven's birthday... | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... This is really an interesting topic to me because as a rookie in the world of audiophiles, I'm like a sponge, trying to learn as much as I can. From a completely personal perspective, I've been a DIY type my entire life. ( I'm 51). So I've been ab... | |
