| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! Wilson Audio speakers often generate strong opinions….they have a distinct house sound that doesn’t resonate with everyone. I never could warmed up to their sound or appearance. | |
| The Disappearing Act Agreed with those said…disappearing act largely depends on original recording. While a well-set-up system and room are essential, the way a recording is engineered determines how effectively the soundstage is created and whether the speakers “disa... | |
| The Disappearing Act @baylinor That’s an insightful perspective, and you’re absolutely right—recording styles and mixing decisions play a huge role in how the soundstage is perceived. A great system doesn’t impose its own interpretation but instead reveals the recor... | |
| Room is way too bright. Check it out, https://www.gikacoustics.com/treating-first-reflections/ Reflection points represent the primary locations in a room where sound waves first reflect off surfaces before reaching the listener's ears. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 Looking forward to your impressions! BTW, I just came across this unique cable from Melco. Is this the ‘first’ silver plated copper cable with SFP connection? Also interesting to see Aurender on the compatibility list…does that mea... | |
| Room is way too bright. Try blinds from Hunter Douglas, totally worth it if you value an elegant and long term solution. My room has 3 windows (fortunately) and I went with Duette Cellular shades. https://www.hunterdouglas.com/window-treatments/sound-absorption | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? @mgrif104 Congratulations on SDV 3100. The SDV 3100 is a serious upgrade, especially if you’re already impressed by the DAC 200 with DSD. It’ll be interesting to hear your impressions once it’s settle down in your system. T+A knows how to do j... | |
| Streamers and software @daledeee1 With any software, implementation and hardware are the key to a worry free operation. Out of all the apps being mentioned here, Sense (Innuous) and Conductor (Aurender) are the least likely to experience problems due to their propriet... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 ⬆️ A DAC with 24-bit 192KHz maxx resolution for $6K, that’s a hard pass for me! Equally or perhaps better Non-oversampling (NOS) DAC to consider, LTA Aero and Border Patrol DAC SE-I. A head to head comparison is warranted before anyone thinking... | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis @macg19 You’re welcome! Threads like this is a great way to discover artist’s and their exquisite work! https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2750519 | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? @milpai Thank you for the kind words! It’s always rewarding to hear that my setup resonates with someone as discerning as yourself. Your advice on managing the PC’s sleep settings is appreciated. I will PM you once I revisit HQPlayer. | |
| Signalyst HQPlayer - Is it worth the upgrade? @milpai Not anymore, the external PC I bought to run HQPlayer proven to be very laborious. The HQPlayer software kept going to ‘sleep’, so I gave up and went back to Roon. Thanks for reviving this thread, I may look into this one more time. Hope... | |
| DAC for Aurender N200 @hickamore You got some good recommendations. Choosing a DAC to pair with the Aurender N200 depends on your sound preferences, system synergy and budget. The N200 is a high-quality streamer with excellent timing and transparency, so you’ll want ... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? “In my experience more perceived natural detail is achieved by lowered noise floor, tonal refinement and reduction of grunge in the overall presentation (purity of sound)” +1 @frogman @sns I completely agree with your perspective. Lowering the n... | |
