| Started with $1k speakers … what now? A lot of good advice here. My input would be to go very slow with your upgrade process. If you are or want to be serious about your HiFi and get the most for the least amount of money you should start with your room and isolation/decoupling of you... | |
| Can I use 2 different streamers in different systems through Qobuz? @kingbr yes, I was going to bring up the lack of USB on the Prisma but since you had mentioned the Cambridge I thought it might not be important to you. Definitely a deal breaker for most people. I personally haven't heard it but would assume the ... | |
| Can I use 2 different streamers in different systems through Qobuz? As others have said, yes you can. I've done this when trying to compare streamers side by side. I've had the MXN10..well I actually still have it but not using it currently. The software on it is very good, I used it hardwired Ethernet. It's a ver... | |
| Good measuring DACs vs. Because it's all subjective. I'm sure that as many people that love the Mola Mola & Benchmark there are equal amount of people (or more) that don't care for it. Doesn't make either person right or wrong. You could almost drop it into 2 diffe... | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade @dz13 that is some great feedback and fruit for thought. I do think the OP's feelings about which brands to upgrade to are good thinking. After doing a little research and listening to a couple I feel an Innous will be my next step up. I've only... | |
| Schiit Freya Modes: Subjective vs Objective Differences @nixanthrope thanks for the heads up and link to some real user issues. Information sharing like this are what Forums should be all about. I'm glad I reached out and you were kind enough to spare a little time and share with me. Happy New Year!! | |
| Schiit Freya Modes: Subjective vs Objective Differences Thank you @nixanthrope , I truly appreciate the response and opinions you've shared. I have an opportunity to get my hands on the Noval for a used price..and for the money & features it will be hard to pass up. Seems like it would be an easy ... | |
| Schiit Freya Modes: Subjective vs Objective Differences @nixanthrope did you ever present Schitt with your findings and get a response? My apologies for dredging up an old thread but I have been interested in the Noval preamp due to the cheap price more than anything but the balanced connections are ... | |
| Does the streamer effect sound quality I assume you are using the internal dac of the streamer? In that aspect you may notice more of a difference than say comparing the 2 as a transport only. I've had quite the handful of these budget streamers, the CNX2 being one of them but only th... | |
| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? Personally I don't feel $2 to $3k is medium priced. In between that price range, considering new and used you could try out some streamers from company's with a proven track record of making better than average sounding streamers...Innous, Aurende... | |
| Effects of concrete as base for subs, speakers and potentially equipment Interesting stuff..👍 | |
| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! I deal with the same issues as far as being able to try new gear. I have a couple high end Theater dealers installers in the area. They do Mac gear as well. They have a few rooms set up but that's all they have..the stuff that is set up. No shelve... | |
| Most recent speaker you audited in room and returned? Why did you return it? just didn't mesh well. While very clear and detailed it was a little to hot for me. I think a lot of people prefer this type of sound but it just wasn't for me. I used a sub with the set up and brought the highs down a bit with PEQ functions in my... | |
| Most recent speaker you audited in room and returned? Why did you return it? Martin Logan XT-B100 ($1600+tax) Picked them up last year on a whim when I was trying to put together a digital system in my living room..A streamer/TV 2.1 system. These bookshelves had just come out, user reviews were minimal but great, I didn't... | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest If you have one grab a mini level out of your tool kit...that thing with the 3 tubes filled with liquid and an air bubble. Mine was about 10 inches long. Lay it across your dac or whatever and watch for vibrations in the bubble. Poor mans visual... |
