| Best multi-purpose subwoofer How are the REL subs? Earthquake Supernova? | |
| subwoofer to digital music and movies Thank you for the response. I appreciate it. Couple of point - first I've read when connecting .LFE from Marantz you are technical using the Marantz processor to adjust the X-over frequency and at that point the subwoofer internals are turned off.... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming @missingtime where does the ethernet cable go? My Apple TV is ethernet hard wired (like it better than Airplay) - going into OPPO105 (to split the HDMI sound) - coax out from OPPO going into Benchmark DAC. How can I use a better ethernet cable? Wi... | |
| Budget Music Streamer I am really now torn between Allo DigiOne signature or a Mac Mini set up for my digital music streaming. Understood Mac Mini will need some additional cleaning up front - a USB to spdif converter (my Dac does not have USB) and a reclocker to begin... | |
| Budget Music Streamer There are some really great options in the budget streamer market now - Raspberry Pi (Allo Digione signature), SOTM sms-200, MicroRendu, MAC Mini and I am sure others. Any suggestions as to which one is sonically superior? | |
| Budget Music Streamer @pc997 do you have a write up the build? I am hoping there are advantages building one than buying (easier)? Do you have a write up. Have you compared the sound to Mac Mini? Thanks. | |
| Budget Music Streamer @headphonedreams better to buy the Allo Digione Signature or build one. Building one will not be all that cheaper but more fun. Can you share your build? | |
| Budget Music Streamer @jwricci - how do you like the sound of Allo DigiOne? Can you connect an external HD to it? Can you play Tidal or Apple Music - if so how? I love the fact that it’s prebuilt for you. Interesting that it’s compared to be better than Aurelic Aries a... | |
| Budget Music Streamer Thanks lowrider57. Any recommendations for a good cable without breaking the bank? Both coaxial and TOSLink. I am using cables by Morrow Audio in my system. Also - I think I will need a more long term/better/scalable solution to my streaming than ... | |
| Budget Music Streamer I played around a little with my system in the last 2 hours and I think I have hit a sweet spot.I switched to using OPPO as the em-bedder from my Apple TV - tweaked the Audio Format set up to point coaxial output to Bitstream in OPPO and my oh my ... | |
| Budget Music Streamer @lkgerens - what DAC are you using? Do you have drop outs using Airplay airport express? I too believe the kanexpro might be the weakest link. I have Apple TV gen4 and have to extract sound out of HDMI. Will try using OPPO as de-embedder with HDMI... | |
| Budget Music Streamer It does measure well but sounds digital and a bit forward. I am still trying to tweak it more - may replace the fuse with HiFi tuning supreme. Using Pangea AC-9 cord. Room for improvement adjusting the jumper settings and maybe replacing to better... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming Not trying to go off topic here - but as mentioned earlier @kalali to add a reclocker between chromecast and dac to reduce jitter - question is why when your dac really should be taking care of the jitter (benchmark dac1)? Do you really need to ad... | |
| Need help with system connection The shortest direct path is always better no doubt. But purchasing another piece of equipment (analog stereo preamp) may not sit well with my wife and the DAC1 works really well with the Simaudio W5. Hate to sell my DAC - will play around with the... | |
| Need help with system connection Thank you for your quick response. Obvious question: will there be a sound degradation of any sort? Also, what do audiophiles do to handle dedicated listening and HT. Not everyone is blessed to have a separate listening room and a home theater. I ... |
