| Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases? Experience rules above all opinions. Ive owned cheap cables and I've owned super expensive cables and I've always trusted my ears in deciding. I've disliked and sold plenty of high end cables that I should have liked if I only had confirmation bia... | |
| The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable Cable impedance matching (75 ohm for coax), shield quality, and connector quality all affect signal integrity at the physical layer in ways that influence jitter at the receiving end. Even with jitter rejection in the DAC, you're asking that circu... | |
| late to streaming, recommendations? Vinyl and tubes guy here as well. I picked up a used Eversolo DMP-A6 for $400. I did upgrade the ps with a Beatechnik LPS but for a streamer using an outboard DAC (Merason DAC1 Mk1) this is hard to beat. Qobuz works great with it and makes explori... | |
| The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable This pretty much destroys your initial premise... @frank009 https://audiosensibilities.substack.com/p/the-shocking-truth-about-data-networks?r=39ccd5&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true | |
| Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases? Paul McGowan agrees Source: YouTube https://share.google/vlE4P6xlbBEaSunBn Higher resolution = audible differences in cables. | |
| Do Audiophiles Hear Real Differences, or Are They Justifying Expensive Purchases? Is there a difference or is it just my brain hearing a difference because it wants to? Its all irrelevant because my brain likes what it likes and it does like different cables. That's all that matters. | |
| USB connection to DAC: multi stage improvement To the OP. Congrats on your success and thanks for sharing. There are many roads to audio bliss and no doubt you've heard these improvements along the way. We all have budgetary limitations we have to work within (well most of us). We can't always... | |
| The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable So all digital cables are equal? Including coax, toslink, etc? Its all just digital packets right? | |
| Best bang for the buck My ESS AMT 10B speakers that I bought on Craigslist for $190. Spent about $400 returning them to original condition and I just love them. Replaced my Wavetouch Audio Anterros. | |
| I built what Tidal and Qobuz won't. And people are loving it. Hats off to Alessandro who patiently worked with me and found a workaround to the initial sign on issues I was having. Took a few days and a few emails but in the end I’m on and it works! I’m enjoying my first Playlist on Qobuz. Thanks Alessandro!... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis I choose my cables based on color. | |
| Subwoofers: Do you turn them off when you are done for the day? I don't turn off any of my SS equipment unless there's a lightening storm or if I'm away from home for a few days. | |
| I built what Tidal and Qobuz won't. And people are loving it. If only I owned a desktop computer!! | |
| Break In Question? @mahler123 There are quite a few components that my brain never adjusted to after break-in. I got rid of them. | |
| 2 channel vs headphones I do very much enjoy the fidelity of my portable headphone rig and while its not super high end, its highly detailed and involving. But the sound of headphones can’t replace the 2 channel system in involvement. When my sub pressurizes the room and... |
