| Oppo BDP-105 and Qnap TS-251A " I currently run a cable from my router to the NAS, and another from the router to the Oppo. There is only one ethernet port on the Oppo 105 so if you are running an ethernet cable from the NAS to the Oppo they are linked to the network in serie... | |
| Have any of you ever replaced Magnepan 1.7 or 1.6 tweeters? That's a good idea, Randy. The 1.7i are reviewed as being a big improvement from the 1.6 and 1.7. Maybe toolbox149 could find a dealer to take his speakers as a trade-in. Let them repair them if they're willing. Tim | |
| Have any of you ever replaced Magnepan 1.7 or 1.6 tweeters? toolbox149, I think you may want to consider more thoroughly identifying the problem before proceeding to fix it. It could be some magnets, that are connected at various points on the stretched mylar panel, have loosened and clatter when d... | |
| Oppo BDP-105 and Qnap TS-251A I agree with reubent. I have a Synology NAS on my wi-fi that is feeding my Oppo 105. You can attach your Qnap to your Oppo either wirelessly (with the supplied wireless dongle) or wired via an ethernet cable if both units are relatively close to ... | |
| Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor Hi willemj, I wish I could enjoy Randy's posts. I'm usually just left confused and frustrated. I know I probably shouldn't be so hard on poor inarticulate Randy but I think you're right about a little extra effort going a long way. For e... | |
| Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor Hi willemj, Randy has a tendency to post vague and cryptic comments, that he may believe are making some sort of statement or point, that I often have difficulty deciphering. He also has a tendency to not respond when asked to clari... | |
| Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor " Oppo is quality. Period"Hi alkaloid, I completely agree with you, Oppo is quality and a bargain, too. It's odd but there seems to be a bias against Oppo by some here on Audiogon and some other A/V forums.. These individuals typically a... | |
| Recommendations for headphones under $400? uberwaltz, freediver has a good suggestion with the HiFiman He400i's. Very nice planar magnetic headphones. If you want to go with a planar magnetic, there are also some from Monoprice that are less expensive headphones that are very sim... | |
| Hypex N core module " First you need a bit more clarification on just what "feedback" are you talking about, "global feedback" or Local feedback"? As both are very different."local" is a good thing if the output stage is designed right with minimum problems. "Global... | |
| Recommendations for headphones under $400? uberwaltz, If you want good, accurate bass that's able to go as deep as the music demands without sacrificing mid-range and treble performance, I'd suggest either the Oppo PM-3 or Sony MDR-Z7. The Oppo use planar magnetic drivers wh... | |
| Hypex N core module "Bruno is spot on with this. The usual rule of thumb is that very low amounts (under 4 db or so) is not harmful, but more than that is a problem; after about 20 db or so things start to settle down. 60db hasn't been practical until the introduct... | |
| Hypex N core module Hi Ralph, Thank you for your informative response. I've been reading for decades that negative feedback in traditional linear amps should be avoided since it (sorry, no pun intended) negatively affects its sonic performance, especially ... | |
| Hypex N core module " We will shortly be introducing our proprietary designs which takes the level of performance up an order of magnitude, and rivals any of the best of classes available. Using our proprietary ZXOL design that has no feedback loop, we are able to a... | |
| Hypex N core module Hi bache, Sorry, I haven’t heard any of the Nord amps but I’d really like to. I believe such a class D amp is possible because the inventor of UcD and Hypex NCore technology, Bruno Putzeys, has stated he can design his class D amps to sound like a... | |
| Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor "I think part of Oppo's secret is that some or all design work is done in Silicon Valley, and the manf. is done in China."randy-11, I'm not sure about the point you're trying to make with your comment in quotations above. Can you clearly s... |
