Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use
I just added a Rogue RP-1 to my system. I use a Bluesound Vault 2 as a music server. Befor the Rogue I have been able to tell the difference in different DAC's I've had. My equipment is Emotiva XMC-1, Oppo 105, Bluesound Vault 2, AV123 strata Mini speakers and a SVS 300bp subwoofer.
I've compared the Oppo 105 to the Vault and the Oppo was definitely better, I've also compared the Vault to the XMC-1 and the XMC-1 was better.
Since installing the Rogue RP-1 they all seem to sound the same, even borrowed a Schiit Bitfrost. Again I could not hear a difference. So I have just simplified my setup and I'm just using the the RCA out from the Vault to one of the RP-1 inputs.
Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong
Thanks
I have a Vault II and am considering getting a Schitt Yggdrasil. Was also looking at the Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC - little more $$. My question is if I will see improvement from just using the Bluesound Vault as my DAC. Thoughts, Experience? I bought the Bluesound to get rid of my CD's when I first started building my system. I heard it was a good option, now I'm looking to improve while using it to still serve as my streamer.

What I said was
You chose to only use a part of my post. Taking into consideration what I said about associated equipment and room acoustics instead of leaving it out and labeling my statement a cliche isn’t going to help you or the OP. Stop taking things out of context. That’s bad form. |
@audphile1 "That's bad form". Good one! Bad form is doubling down on a useless post. I left out " (it’s not RP1 cause it’s pretty transparent) and or your room acoustics are bad or all of the above." Are you saying that the room acoustics came in to play only after he switched to the RP1? He could distinguish between dacs before he switched. Look at @thegreenline post above as a logical explanation. It appears that being called out is bad form to you. |
