| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? I'd agree I've heard little difference with devices pre server. Its post server where all the meaningful improvements come from. I'm listening to just installed Sonore opticalrendu (powered by Uptone JS2 LPS), wonderful improvement upon SOTM SMS20... | |
| China built tube amps @dkzzzz Such purity will require tossing nearly every single electronic component you possess or interact with. You're supporting commie regimes and all kinds of injustice from all over the world with nearly all your material possessions and purch... | |
| How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?” Certainly recording dependent to some extent. Close miked intimate high resolution recordings sure bring performers in room. Large scale classical orchestras not so much. Also has much to do with imaging, sound stage system able to reproduce. ... | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? To get two ports out of my server (exteme modded mac mini) I assigned/bridged thundebolt port as ethernet port, thunderbolt to ethernet conversion cable, instantly have two ethernet ports. On other servers you could do this with usb ports. Or off ... | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? So much controversy over streaming devices and sound quality. I hear reasoned arguments involving technical issues from both sides. So, I go to the one tried and true method that always provides me with a final judgment when it comes to audio... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC This is all about getting full potential of 005, for us streamers so many avenues, worthwhile to explore the many available. I've owned the 005 for almost year and a half, not a single issue. Dac's in general are one of the most reliable audio... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I've seen that, don't quite understand the ethernet out scheme, point of FMC is to use fiber cable. This isn't FMC, rather just a filter. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/55217-sonore-opticalrendu/page/27/#comment-963599 In this link John Swenson makes case for how everything in network prior to optical conversion affects accuracy of clocks in Sonore optical module and rendu... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I didn't like audiophile switch with my setup, and suspect I'd not like any switch. I've bridged second ethernet out of modded mac mini using thunderbolt port. This way I can go direct out from server to streamer or FMC (later opticalmodule). A se... | |
| Paid for UPS shipping and the package was immediately sent to the US Post Office. So, now they do this with domestic ground shipping, that's lame! When you pay for UPS ground shipping it should be UPS all the way. Who knows whats going on in shipping today, employees out because of covid, trying to increase profit margins. We m... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara I'll get the opticalmodule at some point in future, unless I get Sonictransporter I9 which has opticamodule built in. I considered the Signature rendu se optical, but at $4800 is stiff price to pay for built in high quality LPS. ... | |
| Can one have too many tube components in a system? Nope, not if equipment well designed, good AC, proper grounding, quality tubes. One of my amps 845SET matched to 104db sensitivity speakers, a bit more noise than 300B SET's, still not obtrusive. I too like my dac solid state. Ran a tube dac with... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @dbb I have all Audioquest Vodka, longest cable 1.5m, only one that length, rest 1m. I've been told its the connectors where the emi/rfi gets in. Regardless, optical will get rid of all, I expect all optical streaming will be de facto in near futu... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming I'm moving on from generic fmc and Sotm sms200 neo to the Sonore Opticalrendu, replaces one FMC and it's lps and sotm. Next will be optical out server such as Small Green Computer Sonictransporter I9 or diy solution with optical out, this gets rid... | |
| Paid for UPS shipping and the package was immediately sent to the US Post Office. This should only happen when you choose UPS or Fedex lowest cost and quality shipping option. I believe this only happens with international shipping, only recall this happening with cheap items sent from ebay international sellers. Actually, ... |
