| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @dwcda Ha, it takes no courage to anonymously discuss an experience with strangers. Audphile1 began a little rough but came around and offered some helpful info in the end. I appreciate comments from all, those who agree with me and those who d... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @dwcda The front edge of the speaker is 4' from the wall. I've tried other positions and this was the best for me. There is a 7" monster bass trap behind each speaker and a 17" square soffit trap in the corner. The soundstage is great. When y... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers ^ 👍 | |
| Sound Quality @lalitk You are most welcome. 😊 Glad you are enjoying that unique recording. 🎸🎶 | |
| Sound Quality @navyachts Any good recommendations for a DSD 256 CD to purchase for a test drive, maybe something a little more obscure that the run of the mill "Top 40"? Little Weevil Yes, the above recording is definitely not top 40 😁 One guy, one gui... | |
| Sound Quality @navyachts Native DSD 20% off until May 17 😃 | |
| Sound Quality @navyachts I’ll let @audphile1 answer the question as to whether DSD sounds better on the Bricasti or not, but looking at the specs these are your options: Digital Inputs XLR: AES/EBU 24 bit Single Wire, BNC: SPDIF, RCA: SPDIF, Optica... | |
| Sound Quality there really isn't the need to rip CDs, I guess. That is unless you have something rare that can't be found online. Any other benefits you can muster? @navyachts that is pretty much my philosophy. The onboard hardrive is not just for ripped CD... | |
| Back to the DAC Honestly though, I didn't ever think I would be springing for a DAC that cost more than my amp & pre-amp combined. I will always remember what my Linn dealer said 20+ years ago: $5000 sources with $500 amplifiers always sounded better than... | |
| Back to the DAC this DAC has sucked me dry Wow, that must be quite the DAC. | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k @axeis1 there is something else you could investigate and do before changing out your DAC also, If you weren't aware of this already: PGGB I have posts by some with Dave who love it, which is the DAC this software was written for; I'm sure it woul... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming Forgot to mention another thing to try would be to get a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh system.... I need to try this. I have read this a few times over the past while. About a year ago I removed the router from my hi fi room to eliminate unnecessary... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming May want to give an Etheregen switch a try? 30 day money back guarantee. Most have found it "smoothes" out their streaming sound by removing hash which enables you to hear a little better resolution from a blacker background. Not sure if that is t... | |
| Streamer only I guess the OP is AWOL 🤔 @jerrybj Sweet. Post your impressions. In looking at the article posted below decide which output to use to your DAC- which DAC do you have? Regarding this comment: @moonwatcher One thing people seem to ignore (correc... | |
| Back to the DAC @navyachts looking forward to your Gustard/Bricasti comparisons. 🎶 |
