| Really Inexpensive Systems That Sounded Great? The Nu-Force DDa-120 has gotten rave reviews and that sounds like a MUCH better way to listen to TV. Can you run the Pi via USB into the amp? Yes, I have tried connecting the Pi directly to the DDA-120 with USB. But I read a quote from someone... | |
| Really Inexpensive Systems That Sounded Great? I've been enjoying listening to our living room / tv system comprised of Raspberry Pi 4 source, HDMI out to tv, tv optical digital out to a Nuforce DDA-120 integrated and a pair of Polk R300 speakers. Playing Qobuz at 16/44.1 (limited by what the... | |
| Audio PC I'm currently listening to Qobuz on a Raspberry Pi 4 running PiCorePlayer. Power supply is the switching wall wart that came with the Canakit RPi 4. Total cost less than $100. USB connection to a Schiit Modi 3 DAC, driving a STAX earspeaker sys... | |
| Beryllium Tweeters - Your Opinions & Comments ?? I have Focal Sopra 3's, in a properly treated room. The Be tweeters are to my ears perfectly integrated with the other drivers such that I hear a coherent sound with plenty of detail, very transparent, yet without the tweeters calling attention t... | |
| Streamer I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 running PiCorePlayer. USB output to DAC (Bryston BDA-2). Controlling it from an Android phone running Squeeze Ctrl. Using Ethernet but the Pi4 also has built in wifi. Minimal cost and sounds very good. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Listening last night to The Essential Julian Bream, RCA red seal, catalog# 88883746962. 24/44.1 on Qobuz. In the NY Times article about him yesterday, the author mentioned one of his goals was to bring pleasure to people with his playing, and th... | |
| Linn Audio I don't have any current Linn products, but do have a Kairn preamp and LK280 amp, both acquired used. I recapped the LK280 this year and it is sounding very nice. So far the only thing I have done to the Kairn is to replace the battery a couple ... | |
| No longer need 16' speaker cable pair- options? I'm in the same situation. I'm just using my 15 foot speaker cables with the excess laid out in a zigzag pattern behind the speakers. I have always heard that you don't want to coil speaker wire as it can add inductance. | |
| Is the Eames chair a favorite I have an Ekornes stressless Senator model. I thought it was maybe too low, but my ear is at tweeter height for my speakers (Focal Sopra 3). | |
| Reliability of brand Bryston preamps come with a 20 year warranty, so that is another brand to consider. | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match I have Focal Sopra 3's, and have never heard them sounding 'bright' except in an untreated room with reflective walls.In my 13'10" x 19' room, which has a wool rug on a wood floor over a concrete slab, absorbtion at sidewall reflection points plus... | |
| What are the DACs that use good circuits in the Audio sections? I just bought a Bryston BDA-2 DAC here on Audiogon, it has a discrete class A output circuit, as does the BDA-3 model.Some of the Schiit DACS use discrete output circuits, like the Gungnir and Yggdrasil.I'm sure there are others, but that's two co... | |
| Best player for Spotify I use a Denon HEOS Link to stream Spotify, and use its digital output to drive an external DAC. The internal DAC in the HEOS Link is pretty decent too. | |
| analog to digital conversion I'm using a Tascam DR-22WL recorder, records to WAV files. Then I clean up and convert to FLAC with Audacity. Results are pretty good, I don't hear much difference between playing the LP and listening to the FLAC file.Turntable is a Rega Planar ... | |
| Can anyone compare the Klout vs. the 2250 Amp. You might want to post this question on the Linn forum here:http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/I am using a Kairn/LK280 combination. I haven't heard either the Klout or 2250 but I know the Klout has a good reputation. I wouldn't mind upgrading my LK280 t... |
