| 'Complete' modern system for $1000 Denon X1400 is $300 shipped from Accessories4LessI looked at this feature set, indeed hard to beat for refurb at $300. Amp is 80w into 8ohms. Nice set of inputs incl. rca, optical and ethernet. DAC circuit for audio-in via network includes TI P... | |
| 'Complete' modern system for $1000 "...get a A/V receiver"mzkmxcv - thanks for that, didn’t even consider AVR route. Downside is kinda diluted investment & focus by mass-producers (Denon, Marantz, Yamaha etc) in the hifi elements in such rigs (ie amp and dac components & c... | |
| This Audiogon should also provide.. nonoise: thanks and +1 for the aggregator link | |
| Qobuz Coming to America Soon! Qobuz ...named the Official High-Resolution Streaming Service..." Ha! Hilarant! Maybe we have the intrepid David Soloman to thank for that ; ) | |
| Play music from laptop over WiFi to existing audio system: how? The Yamaha A-S810 has the ES9010K2M chip in its DAC circuit - kinda the other (lower?) half of the ESS range (ie not the ’Pro Sabre’). That too may be better than the un-named TI/Burr-Brown chip on the HiFiberry DAC+ Pro HAT ... but again, at $45... | |
| Play music from laptop over WiFi to existing audio system: how? Each room now has a laptop (connected via wired Ethernet), a USB DAC, a power amp and speakers.That works too and also fun, though cost may be +multiples of RPi/HiFiberry approach. What DAC/s are they? | |
| Play music from laptop over WiFi to existing audio system: how? @lowoverdrive: for < $130 you can build your own with a RaspberryPi 3B+ ($40), HiFiberry Dac+ Pro ($45) as HAT, and all that in a HiFiberry steel case ($30). Throw in a few copper heatsinks for the RPi 3B+ board. ($5).Then (all free): Volumio ... | |

| Micromega M-100/150 field reports At first attempt the M-100 headphone-out circuit seems wimpy driving Sennheiser HD650's. Must pump volume all the way up to level 60 before it reaches dB levels I consider 'loud', and even then the HD650 characteristic 'dark veil' is present in ... | |
| Qobuz Coming to America Soon! hgeifman: oui, all of that is promising news, thanks for the continued intel. Hope my pessimistic guesses about actual release timeframe are flatly wrong. | |
| Micromega M-100/150 field reports "...they said they were going to integrate Qobuz in their app hopefully by the end of the year"Yup, that’s what they replied to me when I asked about the outdated Android app. Looks like Micromega has outsourced that development to a 3rd-party, an... | |
| Qobuz Coming to America Soon! I’d be astounded if they hit October - lots of moving parts in a launch like this, for a service like theirs. I’ll be surprised if they even hit end of year. Happy with either. | |
| Qobuz Coming to America Soon! "...when Qobuz will be available in the USA?"hgeifman: read upwards in this thread (Qobuz customer service said they're hoping for end of this year). | |
| Micromega M-100/150 field reports benb:"...worth money to me"Totally agree with that. Let the spender of the money be the last word on what’s-worth-the-money."...upsampled to DSD or tried various filter settings that are features in the pay-for apps that I believe has a lot of pot... | |
| Micromega M-100/150 field reports "...curious how many different music streaming programs or apps have you listened to on the Micromega or others?benb: are you curious about observations on music "streaming" performance/features? That is, the 'transport' feature set that gets sou... |
