Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please
What do you think the sonic benefit of all the shielding in your G68 is? Protecting it's internal components from external EMI or protecting your other equipment from EMI generated by the G68? 
sooloos music server sound quality
I got a huge improvement from my Meridian MS600 endpoint/dac by putting it on an HRS isolation platform. Also, I noticed that it was IMPOSSIBLE to make my Sooloos system (MD600 + MS600) sound like my Simaudio 650D transport/dac because both Simaud...

Best DAC for Meridian Sooloos
With the Meridian filter in place, the music can sound a little "dead" sometimes as well. Not sure if this is related to the highs or it if dampens the natural decay of instraments. Funny, with the apodising filter I would expect a greater sense o... 
Best DAC for Meridian Sooloos
Interesting. The upsamping in the Simaudio 650D is non-defeatable - I believe it's integrated into the Sabre chip set. Defeating the Meridian upsampling/apodising filter on the Meridian MS600 leads to more high frequency presence, both through the... 
Best DAC for Meridian Sooloos
Thanks Crion,I actually did invest in an MS600/MD600 combo from Meridian Sooloos. The MS600 does come with a very good dac - I just find that with the Meridian up sampling/ apodising filter engaged the sound ican be a little rolled off in the high... 
What is the best transport?
"between the hardware, software, network and everything else, all the variables are mind numbing. you can get good sound pretty easy imo. getting great sound is something else entirely. thinking i'm pretty close now but it sure wasn't easy getting...

Is computer audio difficult to set up and run?...I don't think so. Can it sound great?...you bet! Can it drive an audiophile crazy with tweaking?...definitely!!You audition a few transports on your DAC and find the one you like and you're done, ex... 
the best, cost-no-object, music streamer?
"From reading the posts it seems music streamer needs to be a dedicated unit like sooloos, aurender, linn etc. I've only seen and hear the sooloos. seems the presentation (demo) wasnt setup well in front of me. or probly the music was using a file... 
Sim audio mind streamer vs Squeezetouch
Played through my Simaudio 650D dac the MiND 180 streamer sounds very similar to cd play through the 650D. I'd give the edge to the steamer though due to more 3D imaging and a deeper soundstage.I'd note that, in my experience, streamers seem to ca...

Anyone using a Berkeley Alpha DAC 2 with Sooloos? 
the best, cost-no-object, music streamer?
Some really good reviews of a few options on HiFi Advice:http://www.hifi-advice.com/reviews-computer-audio.htmlI also just tried the Simaudio MiND 180 streamer. Sounded fantastic through the Simaudio 650D dac (sounded better than cd play through t... 
Front end system for music streaming
Did some serious listening to the MiND 180 last night. Sonically it does not disappoint! It is easily as good if not better than playing a CD through the Simauido 650D. More to post on it in a different thread. 
Front end system for music streaming
Just picked the MiND 180 up to demo today. Will post comments on performance soon...
