| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Luxman m900u is my favorite so far and one I hope to get in 6 months. | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @shredder Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like I should contact Sonare and talk with one of their reps about the optical.@emcdade I actually have this same thread on CA but the responses here have been more enlightening. What you are saying is ... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @shredder Can you explain to me how the optical version differs from the microRendu? What does OPTICAL mean in this context? I looked in the Sonare web site to figure this out but it was not clear to me. | |
| Help with picking new integrated for under 3k The Peachtree Nova is now actually $1999 new from Peachtree. They have a deal at the moment to upggrade the Nova 150 and 300 to 500 level. There should be a wave of these refurbished 150's and 300's on sale from Peachtree soon. https://www.peacht... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @dpac996 Your observations mirror mine regarding a noisy or busy computer streaming to a Rendu. I do not hear any difference when I have a lot of programs running on my computer. I have very good hearing (one of a few things I am good at).However,... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @mgrif104 I had to do a little research on the Aurender N100H and the feedback you provided was what I was looking for. There are so many factors when considering getting the bits to your DAC.- location of hard drive- type of hard drive- wired vs ... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @ahofer Nice link you posted. I went through some articles on this bloggers site and came across this very interesting article that is asking the same question as my thread. The thing I cannot understand is when people like this blogger state tha... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer I found this link today and it has reviews of a few of the items mentioned here (see bottom of page). Sounds like the reviewer is using a streaming method like me.https://www.audiostream.com/content/sonore-simple-design-signature-rendu-seAnother c... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @steakster I have read about the Empirical Audio Off-Ramp 5 and it was getting a lot of good reviews. However, I was thinking that it maybe a bit like my microRendu in the fact that it is a relatively older unit. I am a little biased when it comes... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @audioman58 I know a lot of people prefer JRiver (which I also own) to ROON. My current system is not good enough for me to hear much of a difference (a Pearchtree Nova 150 integrated with DAC). I prefer the GUI on ROON over everything else. Aro... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer One observation that surprised me and validates something that Audiotroy is saying about Ethernet was a YouTube video I saw of GTT Audio’s display at Axpona 2019. Audiotroy’s comment below: We have tested over the years computers with external pow... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @audiotroy I appreciate the time you took to respond with your opinion as to WHY you think it is better to use a dedicated server. I do understand your argument. You also make another interesting point:The fact that many people find that a dedicat... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @mrdon The reason I am looking for something even better than the microRendu (a very good unit) for the office is that some of the components will eventually make it’s way to the downstairs main system. I am not able to use the downstairs room yet... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @junzhang10 I had a mac mini with my music and was not a fan due to constant restore from backups i had to do. I always keep my backup disk near the macmini. I must be an outlier with this experience, otherwise people would not praise the mini. I... | |
| what would you do? http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/munich-2019-sources-and-cables/ An Anthem STR preamplifier ($3999) featuring its latest ARC Genesis room-correction software helped bring out the best from a pair of Paradigm Persona 7F speakers driven... |
