Best earphone for the value
I owned a pair of Etymotics a few years back.  Good amount of mid and high end detail, but really lacking in the bottom end.  It's a single Balanced Aperture driver, so.... Also, it required a deep insertion to get good isolation.  Replaced it wit... 
New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem?
update please 
New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem?
I'm listening to a pair of Strada's as I write this.  I'm using a Wadia 151PowerDac Mini to drive them which is rated at 25W into 8 ohms and it drives them fine in my 10 x 10 office.  Sounds like either the woofers aren't working or somethings scr... 
Need a Roon, Wifi, DAC Expert Please!
I few observations:1.  Your Imac is the server2.  The Transporter is acting as a Roon Endpoint3.  Roon is emulating Logitech Media Server (LMS) to allow the Transporter to function as an Endpoint.4.  The Transporter does not support MQA natively y... 
Setting up Home Theater with AppleTv4
There's no USB-C port on the AppleTV4; that's an HDMI port. 
Chromecast Audio iOS media player
How far is the Chromecast from the Router?  Sounds like a bandwidth issue to me.  I had a similar problem at my Sisters house.  I ended up installing a POE Access Point right under my Brother-in-laws rig in the basement.  Problem solved.  BTW, the... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
@wolf_garcia You joke, but in the 50's and 60's there were actually record players for cars.  -----I do occasionally miss playing vinyl.  I really liked my Linn Sondek, CJ Sonographe and Ariston.  However, I don't miss the Delphi Oracle MK4.  It w... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
@vpi ,I was responding to @wolf_garcia  post about in-dash CD Players no longer being installed in new cars.  While I have a decent sound system in the car, I realize that it is not an ideal listening environment.   I have Bluetooth 5.0 capability... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
Wolf,I have over 3000 CD's, In FLAC on my Phone, all which are playable through the head unit in the car.  Why would we want to go back to the days of in-dash CD's players or truck mounted Changers; they were a pain in the ass.  I no longer have t... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
T,Looks like you're right.  ATV 4k can output 16/44.1 if audio quality is set to "best".  Otherwise, everything is mixed to DD.  I'll have to do some more research on my Roku, but I think it's similar to ATV.  The Nvidia shield does to hi-res over...

J,Thanks, but the 105 is not in the same room room as my computer.   
Fraud Alert: Audio Zoom Zoom, Netherlands
The payment was direct Bank transfer and the item was not listed on Audiogon, so no help from Audiogon.  The original post was just to give us a heads up. 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
Tutetibiimperes,Yes, agreed.  The problem with all these little streaming boxes is they don't support any kind of hi-res audio or even CD quality audio.  All these boxes boxes down-sample to DD, DD+ or Dolby Atmos; these are all compressed formats... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
Jeffery,I spoke to Oppo about the reasoning for dropping the apps.  First, it was a challenge to try to keep them up to date.  The other issue was the licensing fees.  They didn't think that most people really used the apps all that much and it wa... 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
Basement,Call Oppo.  BTW - Just got off the phone with my Oppo Dealer.  He told me he was selling about 1 Unit/month.  Then Oppo made the announcement and he couldn't get enough of them.  Also, I've heard through the grapevine that the Cambridge A...
