Hi All, I am looking for a little bit of inside advice from someone who knows how these things work. I have a very basic streamer (the WiiM Mini), which has garnered rave reviews because it is bit perfect into a DAC. So even though it costs $100, if paired with a decent DAC, it punches well...

The Wiim Mini Streamer that sells for $99 and is bit perfect is now adding a 10 band EQ filter so REW room correction can be applied. Saw a comparison review against a $6k streamer and the reviewer could only say the high priced one had a smoother interface.

Hi All, I have an Ortofon 320 stylus. It has a stylus guard that I'd rather leave in place when setting up my tonearm weight. When in use and not in use, it is in the same vertical location on the stylus, either above the stylus or covering it. My concern is that if I leave it engaged when I...

Hi All, All things being equal, in the “suburbs”, does time of day make a difference to REW measurements? Thanks

It?s surround sound in a stereo system. I wonder how he does it?

Hi All, I just discovered this track. Imaging and soundstage like I've never heard before.   https://tidal.com/browse/track/2097751 Enjoy!!

I'm not looking for Master, (my DAC can't do it), I'm looking for higher res than 44.1/16

Thanks, I tried. I get master on my phone but Tidal connect from app and using the streamer app both go to 44.1/16. I think I once fluked 48Khz but that's it.

Would you please list a song or two where you are getting 96Khz. Thanks

It has bitten, bitten big!!! Restricting myself to more folky vinyls that the whole record is enjoyable (Randy Newman, Billy Joel, S&G, Carly Simon, CCWR,  etc..). I have a Rotel RP-830 TT bought at an auction for R20 with an Ortofon 320 cartridge and have been buying vinyl at charity shops and...

I know this may be a little off-topic or maybe not. I have a close family member who hasn't ever been shy to spend on components and has always enjoyed having high-end stuff. He is a little hard of hearing. His analogue system is immense (Michell TT, Manley amp, B&W Nautilus 801's). When I...

Looking at the comments how this thread ran off course I was smugly confident that my suggestions above were on point. The only thing I couldn?t suggest was a current NAD3020. How about this system: WiiM Mini Streamer R1600 Schiit Modi 3 R1600 Mogami cables R1200 Bentley FR100?s R4500...

Any suggestions? Thanks all!!!

Hi Wiim Mini streamer (bit perfect using external DAC) $99, Schiit Modi3 Dac $99, MiniDsp room correction crossovers and mic, Mogami Cables Used Rotes amps from the 90's Bentley FR-100 Charity Shop vinyls Actually, Mr Vinyl and Record Mad also very reasonable for Vinyl

I agree, design by max, Mogami 2964 at R32.99 per m and Amphenol RCA plugs R47.99 each. +27 72 289 8402

Sorry, I'm on Hifi Plus. Anyone else on it? What files are you getting, i.e. not what Tidasl say, what your streamer is saying? Thanks

Hi All, Anyone streaming on Tidal Premium. What res (NON-MQA) files do you get? Thanks

Thanks. Looking forward to more from you guys. It will also be nice to have reviewers who deal with stuff we can get locally.

Hi Exciting to have  the site and content available. A few points. The site has no contact details and doesn't say who wrote the article I read. (The one about cables.) I wanted to add my 2c from what I read from Mogami but had no way of doing so ( "the transmission system from ear to brain is...

Hi All, Anyone else hear a VAST difference after room correction? With mine it is huge. When I A/B it seems as if there's a high treble mist that gets removed but I'm worried I've deadened the response too much. I have been unable to measure my corrected response (my Minidsp is digital but I...
