| Whatever Happened To SAE? Gunbei,How about "Dimensions in Stereo" in the Old Towne Mall. Threshold, Dalquist, Tanberg and Revox. Remember the old guy in the bean bag chair? | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Ive got to chime in here. Ive owned an Audio Mirror for a number of months and have experienced what everyone is talking about regarding NOS DACs. I couldnt be happier with mine. One of my biggest frustrations is this crazy hobby is a bad soun... | |
| In Praise of Computer Audio Matt,I share your enthusiasm regarding your new digital setup. I too recently made the conversion going the ethernet vs. your USB setup. I'm sure both are very close in overall sound. I am using an Audio Mirror non oversampling DAC in conjunction ... | |
| Roku SoundBridge vs. SqueezBox3 Artizen565,I too had a few problems with my Soundbridge loosing my network connection. Try deleting iTunes and Roku in your "exceptions" in your firewall settings in Windows and then add them back in again. I got rid of my SACD player as I was usi... | |
| Jeff Rowland with Rel sub I had the same problem with my JRDG 201 monos. The fix was simple, you have to lift the grounds on the Rowland. Use a cheater plug on the AC chord. I also have to disconnect my HT processor to the RCA input on the sub when listening to 2-channel. ... | |
| Analog Lovers and Filterless DACs I agree with Kublakahn. I'm in the process of ripping my CD collection as I made the switch a couple of weeks ago. Using a computer with music stored on a hard drive in conjunction with an outboard DAC will give you amazing results. I replaced my ... | |
| Best Integrated for JM Labs Micro Utopia BE I'm driving my Micro Utopia Be's with a pair of JRDG 201 monoblocks. I don't think its overkill at all. I play my music pretty loud at times and the Utopia's can rock and never sound strained. I believe that more drivers are blown because of amps ... | |
| Simple Digital Music Server - Opinions Please I could not be happier with the results of my digital music server. I’m using the Audio Mirror D-1 non over-sampling DAC with the Roku M2000. Sound quality is vastly better than the Marantz SA-14 SACD player. Music presentation is smoother and qui... | |
| Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs Purchased the JM Lab Mirco Utopia's with Utopia stands. They are incredible in every way. | |
| Simple Digital Music Server - Opinions Please I stand corrected. Roku does not support Apple Lossless but does support FLAC. Because I use my iPod at work daily, I've really have no choice but to use AIFF files.A initial listening session to my hard drive digital server is very promising. | |
| Simple Digital Music Server - Opinions Please Thank you for all of those who responded. I've decided and purchased the Roku M2000 and it does support Apple Lossless. I must say that I'm quite impressed with the build quality of Roku. All of that brushed aluminum for $500. It fits right in wit... | |
| Room Design for Best sound? I'd recommend Robert Harley's "The Complete Guide to High-End Audio". It has a section on "The Room", treatments and speaker placement that is very informative and helpful. | |
| Need help with Component vs. HDMI vs. DVI There is no picture difference between HDMI and DVI except HDMI includes audio. In my opinion, on a 32" set, you will not see a noticable difference between component and DVI or HDMI. | |
| Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs Lousyreeds1, I believe my Thiel's are time/phase coherent. |
