| What I hear vs simplistic specs ( entry DAC/Preamps) Update: Sending the Sabaj back. Not for audio performance, but because the line out gain (gain of 1) is not enough to use on my desk without a preamp. It has a hi/low setting but only for the headphones. I guess when I go over to the high end ... | |
| A video for everybody Yes. OK, I was just trying to copy-paste. Every forum is different. | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable The part I can agree with is "try it yourself at home" If you think you are getting noise into your analog system via the Ethernet, I suggest you have a crappy Ethernet NIC so you are expecting magic cables to fix a bad design. If you tested you... | |
| Digital input amp Sad Gold Note only gave marketing BS as a description. I would love to see an IEEE or AES paper on whatever they are doing to see if it really is innovative. The bummer is it is within my price, but only direct sales and no audition/return polic... | |
| Mental and auditory acuity, and aging Taking your post to lean to the audio hobby: Not far behind you, for sure things change. As we age, the fluid in our inner ear thickens reducing our high frequencies. Getting old stinks, but I don't like the alternative. Going through life mos... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k Update: My high end dealer suggests the Qutest has the detail but without the issues from a chip based Delta Sigma. R2R are known for not a lot of detail, but smoother. Tubes are now what yo want for detail, They add the distortions for that ... | |
| Not sure for power conditioner my amp or not. With a big honking transformer power supply, I would just plug it in. Toss a ferrite on the power cord if it makes you feel good. I have a whole house suppressor which if you can do, is highly recommended. If not, I would look at the amp schemati... | |
| What I hear vs simplistic specs ( entry DAC/Preamps) I agree totally. Otherwise the only DAC for sale might be the DO300. No surprise here. I still like my MOSFET amp and still hate every class D I have heard, am "meh" to tubes and prefer paper cone, soft dome speakers. The cheap Lumina IIs are sti... | |
| Ethernet If your Ethernet is somehow passing noise into your streaming device effecting the sound, you have a crappy streaming device with a bad network port that was not correctly designed to work in the environment as advertised ( Ethernet) Don't blam... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! All the topics mentioned above are religion, not science, unless the said cable is really crap. I have tested and measured some that are! Beyond that it is a matter of belief which is independent of reality. A cable can not add anything the sou... | |
| Pathetic range of Topping remote Got the 6 key job. Seems to be about the same marginal range on my new spec- chasing Chinese wonder DAC. I have not tried it on the Topping. Spec on the Sabaj is 16 feet. No spec from Toping. It did program very easily which I can't say for o... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations All speaker cables are not the same. Let me make that clear before either camp launches an attack. Many are just fine. Some are bad. Some like bad. Some do not. Many exotic cables do sound fine. As good as zip cord actually. Let me clarify t... | |
| Digital input amp Very interested in the mods. I visited a showroom ( dealer for both Peachtree and Bluesound) and their conclusion was neither were quite high end yet and are not carrying those specific products. They did suggest some of the esoteric amps using t... | |
| Generalized attributes of amplifier technologies Maybe why the old Cary OTLs sounded so nice. Yea, thanks for the reminder on topology. I forgot which was which. | |
| Digital input amp Of course the OUTPUT stage is an integrator. I said so from the beginning. Gad how some here want to be so superior. The entire point is this is a new technology worth watching as it changes the entire string. The Peachtree Gan1 does not have a ... |
