@audphile1 Just a loss of fullness I think. Listening to the first pressing of Abbey Road is just spine tingling in its dynamics, fullness of vocals and instruments. Ringo’s thumpy drumming and highhat!!! Everything just very real. The streaming versions sound lighter, thinner, not as alive. That’s the best I can describe.
Upgrade Suggestions please
Hey All,
I'm running an Eversolo A6 with Beatechnik LPS to a Merason DAC1 Mk2 via Supra Excalibur USB. Sounds really good but still pales to my analog rig. Any suggestions on where to upgrade to get closer to vinyl?

@jecopo and @audphile1 Yes, I’m starting to think the same way. Streaming has really opened up my exploration of new music and has resulted in some vinyl purchases. And its great fun exploring musical rabbit holes with seemingly limitless discovery. I think I need to change my mindset and embrace what you stated. Streaming as an exploratory tool. Again, its only in A/B comparing to vinyl that I felt disappointment in my digital rig. |
While I’m not familiar with the connectivity options between your eversolo and dac I see you are linking the 2 via usb. Before exploring other gear I suggest that if you are able to connect the eversolo and dac via and aes digital cable, try that. My own experience is that my streamed music sounded better after I ditched usb. |
What’s the streaming source? Qobuz, Tidal, Apple? If you want fuller sound Audience Studio One USB cable should help. It had the same effect on every streamer and DAC I ever used. But the difference in masters will be obvious no matter what cable or dac or streamer you use. You can improve the sound quality though. |
