| Does anyone know which direction a Synergistic Research Master fuse . . . You guys are funny. I wish I could have sold stuff to Chuck. | |
| Recommendations for custom amp stands? I couldn’t attached the pics, so I added them to my system folder... | |
| Recommendations for custom amp stands? I bought these for $5K from some boutique shop here in California. Walnut infused with graphene and isolated footers with magic dust to counter any airborne resonances... Kidding...Make your own stands. Don’t make it too complicated. | |
| Olympica Nova III or V? Get the V's. Even at low leveling listening, they would be so much more enjoyable. I have had the Vs for several years and never thought about upgrading my speakers. Tweak your source/DAC stuff to move up the listening ladder. | |
| LAIV Harmony @lak I did ping Weng Fai about the streamer. Somewhat surprised that their Laiv stack didn’t get more press after AXP. I’m on board with his new GaN amps. Just parted with my Rose RA180 (actually really don’t know why..) I’m listening to the M... | |
| LAIV Harmony I've had the Harmony for about a month and it's not going back. I know nothing about USB interfaces and currently using an OCC based cable and it sounds fantastic. I may look at some DDCs with I2S, but anticipate that Weng will release their str... | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? @audiostick As a Laiv DAC owner, I’m trying to figure out my stack. Just sold the Hifi Rose RA180 integrated (actually don’t know why..) I have a couple other GaN amps and will miss the Rose. The TT-1 (with LPS) is crazy amazing. I’ll proba... | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? @rick_n I have building cables all my life. I2S had provided the best sound improvement in my journey. Lets see how Laiv, Matrix, ES plays this out. As an engineer, clocking and signal is a no brainer. Funny that some people think you know wh... | |
| 4 Rel Subs Hookup Question well..... we have been doing this for years. Jensen iso dead quiet and perfect sound. Amazing swarm sound coming off GaN amps... | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? Just listened for a couple hours... if you have the ability to go from a streamer/transport via I2S to DAC, I think you will be very happy... | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? @audiostick I just got a Matrix Audio TT-1 and will pair that with my Laiv DAC. Never thought using I2S would provide that much better performance. I had the ES A8 and hope the TT-1 will up the game even more... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Two more from Matrix that I'm eyeing to use with my Harmony... https://www.matrix-digi.com/product/117/NT-1 https://www.matrix-digi.com/product/115/TT-1 | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Yes. Rose 130 and many other transport/streamers (Airlens, Eversolo, Holo Red, Matrix, Volumino) provide a direct I2S connect to the Harmony. I feel that the I2S has provided one of the best audio improvements using my Harmony. | |
| Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs @stillbuyingtoys Good point. I bought a 1.5M 5500 with plans to cut and make two shorter cable pairs. I want one pair for connecting my swarm sub amp (about 20") that will use the Xang stock XLRs. Was going to re-terminate the remaining to te... | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? I'll be looking at the new steamers from Matrix Audio. The TT-1 seems to be close to your budget at $1800. |
