    Now Playing...

    really loving this album. quite reminiscent of gretchen peters in her vocals & melodies, but very different musical arrangements. an original (to me) type of sound, without trying to hard at being different.

    i2s connection question

    i am currently trying out an ifi zen streamer, connected to my audio gd r8 via usb. the streamer & dac both have i2s connectors. since i know pretty much absolutely nothing about i2s (and many, many other subjects to boot) i thought it best to ask here if i can just connect the 2 devices with a...

    Stand alone streamers

    the rest of the chain is audio gd r8 dac, unison research triode 25 amp, and martion bullfrog speakers. the bullfrogs are one of the most revealing speakers i have ever come across. the difference is that with the wiim the tone sounds off, and there is a harsh edge to the sound. the zen has a...

    Stand alone streamers

    did a back to back comparison, swapping out cables & power for the wiim. no surprise, the zen is still significantly better. still a lot of respect for the wiim, i have one for my bedroom system & am quite comfortable with it.

    Stand alone streamers

    i spent some time this evening with the zen stream. got very frustrated this afternoon trying to get it to talk to my dac - error message "failed to open alsa device" ☹️ i still don't know what it was, but it went away after switching from coax to usb. (i had problems using coax with squeezebox...

    Vintage Audio Kit - Members' Pics

    my recollection is that it is an endless loop. plays l & r of track 1, then shifts to next track as it reaches the end of each loop, & continues in the same direction. opening up a cassette will reveal how it works, but it is a very, very long time since i did that. (my dad was not happy but i...

    Stand alone streamers

    so. with apologies to the op, since it seems that i may be missing out, i would really like to try a higher end streamer than the wiim. does anyone perhaps have something that i could borrow for a day or two in the centurion / pta / jhb area? i am more focused on sound quality than features, &...

    Top 10 Albums

    great album. i have been listening to the deluxe version recently - it is a bit of a mixed bag. the remastering is great - very good sound quality, but the singing on some of the additional tracks sounds flat & dull. would have thought they would have been a bit more selective. but still well...
