| Is it a problem to have a DAC feeding a DAC? Oops, I meant to say a Toslink out that puts out a Digital signal into your Hagel. The CC Audio has it's own DAC that you can bypass with digital out. | |
| Is it a problem to have a DAC feeding a DAC? If you are not set on Bluetooth I would recommend you spend a whooping $25 for a Chromecast Audio puck. Almost anything that can stream Bluetooth can now stream to a CC Audio puck with a downloaded app. You can buy an output RCA cable for it that ... | |
| Thoughts on the Auralic Altair? Thanks for that link. It did answer my main question about whether one needs an IOS device for Lighting DS to setup and config Altair. | |
| Thoughts on the Auralic Altair? No one? | |
| Thoughts on the Auralic Altair? Can you confirm that to configure Altair the user must use Lighting DS which is only compatible with an Apple IOS device. Or is there some other option for non-Apple users.Also, how do you think the Altair will compare to the "coming latter this y... | |
| Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time? Barring actual uncontrollable events or conflicts (theft, extended travel, legal seizure, prison, etc.) the amount of time that one chooses to spend listening to MUSIC is a direct reflection of one’s priorities. The question of “Why I don’t spend ... | |
| Should I buy a Class A Amp. Use your own ears to decide. Lots of very well meaning members here who know a LOT about audio and they base their opinions on their ears but in the end it is about YOUR ears. I like to use the analogy of wine tasting and taste buds. A great wine ... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I like red wine but I tend to buy more moderately priced bottles because I can’t taste that much of a difference between mid-priced bottles ($10-$20) and higher priced bottles (+$25). There are bad low priced wines and bad high priced wines. But I... | |
| Auralic Aries Mini vs Bluesound Node ll vs Sonos Could someone PLEASE expand on this and provide a fuller answer. Auralic has great reviews but am I correct in understanding that Auralic only provides an iOS compatible controller via DS Lightening to control their products? Really? There is no w... | |
| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! @badri I did not get my Sonos upgraded. I don't want to put more $ into the Sonos when a replacement of the Sonos and the DAC may be on my horizon when they move to a second room. But I am hooked on the Sonos mainly because of its Android compatib... | |
| How to upgrade in pieces - or - tell me about your journey! I'm new to a lot of this and most everyone I read here seems to know more than I do so take what I say with that qualification....but you are like me in that we both like the same kind of music, varied and diverse. Sometimes you like to listen to ... | |
| Crown XLS 2500 - the best amp value per dollar? This is an old thread I started but wow has my perspective changed since then. So much so that I consider my original post bordering on disinformation and I feel obligated to correct the record.Since I purchased the Crown XLS 2500 I have acquired ... | |
| Is there a Peter Principle of Audio… Ejr, Bingo! You hit the nail on the head! I was beginning to think that no one was getting what I was trying to say. You are an audiophile if you are capable of connecting with music on an emotional level. It is what I call the "E" factor and it i... | |
| Is there a Peter Principle of Audio… "We all have good ears.."Um, no we don't all have good ears. And lots of "audiophiles" put their time and focus on gear rather than music. They are gear-ophiles rather than audiophiles. | |
| Is the main reason audio equipment depreciates so much is "the main reason audio equipment depreciates so much is"Any question of this nature about ANYTHING can be answered with Supply vs Demand.There is more used audio gear than used audio gear buyers.I would like to take this opportunity to thank all o... |
