| About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer In that range, I’d look at a Sonore OpticalRendu on the used market. It still needs a 3rd party app of sorts to connect it over DLNA, but that shouldn’t affect sound quality in the way Roon has in many situations. Unfortunately there is no Qobuz “... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I would think low-volume performance in Class D amps is not solely reliant on low noise (albeit that being a huge factor), but also the amount of attention in delivering the appropriate quality and control in those first few watts? | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Actually, @atmasphere I was just reading the other A’Gon thread on your amps and came across a post on why certain upgrades aren’t made largely because they won’t be audible due to the high amount of feedback you run through the amps. If that’s th... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @atmasphere Do you think you’ll offer optional upgrades to your Class D amps in the same way that you do for your OTLs? If not, I’d be curious to hear your reasons (e.g. you feel they are performing optimally regardless of cost). @ricevs Thanks f... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @orchardaudio Thanks for the info on demoing your unit. That said, it’s the Rev 1.0 unit. I almost bought a similar one from Mark, who contacted you with details earlier this week. I may sign up to evaluate it, but I’d be more interested in trying... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Thanks guys. I’d love to be able to demo the Atma-Sphere monos before. Not sure if I mentioned on this thread, but I’ve owned Ralph’s MA-1 and S-30 OTLs in the past and both were quite good. He’s only about 30-35 min from me, so I’ll try to ping h... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Ok, just for tracking purposes, these are all the amps I’ve seen people list out: Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo Ultra (as well as their others) Peachtree GAN400 (as well as GAN1 and Carina) Atma-Sphere Class D LSA Voyager 350 AGD Product... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum +1 for Steve Leung of VAS. He may not have the exact stylus, but he should be able to inspect and repair, and he does an incredible job - sometimes even better than most factory repairs. I use a MSL Signature Gold now that he never retipped, so th... | |
| Aurender Users @vonhelmholtz I realize I never replied to your direct inquiry to me on this in the past, my apologies. Yes, sometimes the categorization makes it seem hard to find complex pieces like that. That said, you can do song names that include the orches... | |
| Aurender Users @opm you can choose to do either. If it includes local files on my drive as well as streaming, I use the Conductor playlist. But those are not portable, so in most cases I make playlists on my streaming platform of choice. It is possible to add ... | |
| Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated Hard to say without knowing the rest of your system. You may want to list your components in the Virtual Systems section of your profile or list it out on this thread. There are many better preamps than the preamp of your integrated, but the uni... | |
| Aurender Users Let me clarify a bit since it's not as black and white. If you like a track in your queue, you can click on the three dots to the right side of the track to load the contextual menu and play "Track Radio". That will queue up a number of relevane ... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? From what I understand, both Ric and Ralph make significant contributions for audiophiles and music lovers all around. As both engineers and designers, it is healthy to have different viewpoints and approaches. In this case, it seems this disagree... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @atmasphere I noticed that, and FWIW, hearing your amps between AXPONA ’22 and FLAX ’23, I thought they were anything but rolled off. Maybe since you’re now on this thread, could I ask you to share how you voiced your GaN monos, especially in comp... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I should also say that I am looking for very high performing GaN amplifiers to perform against some of the best / most high-end units out there, like the T+A A 3000 HV amplifier (which I own along with the T+A PS 3000 HV power supply), Audionet am... |
