| Maybe it IS all in the DAC chips I recently found my soul mate T+A DAC 200 and use the PCM side, which uses Burr Brown 1795 chips. It's so good. | |
| After a while it’s just sounds. It def happens. My most recent tweaky addition was an external clock. It's connected to my ethernet switch, streamer, and both my DDCs. Now I can't stop tapping my toes and doing dork dances in my chair. Crazy sounds plus rhythm. If you're gonna g... | |
| Looking For A New Tube Integrated Amp With Very Specific Features How many watts u need? That’ll help the search party. | |
| Roon changes the music I’ve listened to Roon on 3 different streamers, including the Grimm MU2, and it always sounds to me like I’m listening to bluetooth or airplay. Sounds very grainy and low resolution. I can’t do it. | |
| What type of cables make the most difference In my experience (and I think it's pretty system dependent): 1. USB cleaning, via DDC 2. Interconnects 3. USB cables 4. Speaker cables 5. Power cables | |

| What one change to your room, system, or setup made the biggest improvement? Pulling speakers way out into the room. The entire space between speakers and rear wall became the soundstage. | |
| Six DAC Comparison I recently got the Mojo X SE. I'm running USB through 2 DDCs and it sounds excellent. Still can't help but wonder how my cleaned up USB would fare against a cleaned up AES or spdif if I were to buy a DDC for those outputs (Berkeley Alpha or Audio ... | |
| What Could Cause Center Image To Present Lower than Expected Ok, I fixed it. I'm in a 15 X 10 ft room. Speakers were along the short, 10' wall. Today, I moved them to the 15' wall, which means I'm sitting very close to them - but that fixed it. Soundstage went from on the floor, far away and teeny to comp... | |
| What Could Cause Center Image To Present Lower than Expected Thanks. I've tried every suggestion here. I have a dedicated listening room, so there's no unwanted furniture. I have the room pretty well treated also. I moved the speakers around and tried several different setups. I raised the speakers 4" off t... | |
| To DDC or not to DDC. That is the question. @rikkipuu yep I believe you are correct | |
| What Could Cause Center Image To Present Lower than Expected Coming in years late on this, but I’m in a similar size room with the same issue - center image is stuck on the floor. Did you ever fix it? If so, how?! Thanks | |
| To DDC or not to DDC. That is the question. I use 2 DDCs in my system. Both my streamer and DAC have galvanically isolated USB, yet the DDCs are doing god’s work. Research some good DDCs and see what pops up that interests you. Then weigh against the DAC upgrade. Either route will probably ... | |
| Class A vs AB I'm weighing the Acora MRB-1 vs Joseph Pulsar2s. What did you end up with? | |
| USB cable recommendation Highly recommend Ricable Magnus. I’ve tried other, much more expensive cables, and it stands up or betters them. Only one I preferred was the Cardas high speed cable, but it costs way more. |
