| Digital player for truck suggestions @simao I think that's a sensible plan. With the external player you can take it with you and enjoy the better sound quality when your in quieter surroundings. Enjoy the new ride! | |
| Digital player for truck suggestions @elevick I understand the disgust! I'd have to spend WAY more time in my car to justify that kind of expense. As it is I spend a grand total of about an hour a day commuting to the office so I spent a little money to put together a decent office... | |
| Digital player for truck suggestions @simao I would be absolutely stunned if any current vehicle came without a USB port and the capability to play digital files from a flash drive. I wouldn't spend any money until I learned the capability that's built-in. You should also have the ... | |
| Pre volume control - hardly moves but volume rises a lot Pappylon, you didn't mention your speakers but, as George says, their efficiency contributes to this as well. Another option that hasn't been discussed is the addition of a pair of attenuators between the pre and power amps. I have successfully ... | |
| Liner notes in a streaming age I don't use it but my understanding is that this is one of the benefits that Roon provides. Like you, I miss having that stuff and, if my setup was Roon-compatible, I would subscribe in a minute. Dick | |
| Turn table for my kid??? +1 for the U-Turn Orbit. | |
| IP address on an Olive 06HD Juntee,I don't own an Olive so I may be off base here but, in many cases, music servers work the same way with regards to networking so I'll take a shot at it. Most likely, your Olive receives an IP address automatically from your wireless router... | |
| How to get Metadata in Exact Audio Copy EAC ripping @jafant The download process is going to be somewhat specific to the source you are downloading from. For example, HD Tracks has its own downloader app that installs on your PC to manage the download (it can download multiple tracks at once).For ... | |
| Double run of 2 sets of speaker cables from stereo amp to single binding post speakers It gets cramped behind some of our cabinets and speakers. Just make darn sure that you don't accidentally mix up the + and - leads on one end of one of the runs. You won't like what happens. | |
| How to get Metadata in Exact Audio Copy EAC ripping g_chops - the .wav format does not have native support for metadata. There are some programs I have heard of (but not used) that link metadata to files ripped in the .wav format. They are keeping the metadata in another file and showing it whene... | |
| Refurbishing Avalon Ascent Mk 2 @franzschubert Assuming that it really is the drivers, this might be something that Bill LeGall at Millersound (http://www.millersound.net/) would be able to help with.Dick | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... Oppo 103 also has HDCD playback! Who knew?? That's interesting. It used to be quite expensive to license the HDCD encoder from Pacific Microsonics. If that's still the case, it's even more impressive that it shows up in a relatively inexpensiv... | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... @bondmanp You're welcome. It took me a while to discover it too so I have several that also need to be re-ripped. Actually, I'm surprised at how many I actually have. Use George's suggestion above to Google a list and compare to your library! | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... @erik_squires Haha. I should have guessed that when you mentioned downloading source and compiling. I love Linux for server-side stuff but I'm past the point in my life where I want to figure out stuff like you just did because I don't have acce... | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... Erik, it's my understanding that the HDCD process squeezes 20 bits into a 16 bit WAV file for CDs. I use dbPoweramp and it has an HDCD decoder built in. It's (somewhat incorrectly) listed under the DSP effects section. I've used it on my HDCD-e... |
