I use both, so I can confirm that I find utility in both services. For example, I never stream with mobile data. So only Apple Music is downloaded for car, etc. But as for the difference in sound quality, it is night and day to my ears, in my home, on my equipment. Only place where Apple Music...

I agree with this. AVRs are inherently a bit compromised for music playback. That said, with the more modern ones (like your Denon), the designers took some care with the streaming performance (particularly Heos/Airplay), so they actually sound pretty good. So I agree, I don't think an external...

Massive kudos to Stefan and Ryan for handling it in a very mature way, and thank you to all the positive testimonials (to which I'll gladly add my own). But I think the phrasing was quite out of line from someone with no experience of their business.

It's just a plane ticket away...

sorry, what's the actual question?

Ditto. Whisper is fully balanced, as is my Arcam streamer. And I run them via XLR into the two balanced input channels of the Predator. The 6db volume gain is good, but the sound quality is just generally better to my ears. The synergy between Whisper and Predator is great in balanced...

Sorry about the gabby. Trying to refine the summations would've taken hours, and it was good enough, I thought, to at least give a view on both sides. Thank you also for a thoughtful reply. It honestly does make sense. And I don't have the knowledge to explain what I observed. Other than I do...

Wait... so we have this, which myself and clearly others have found deeply offensive. Which @Kemosabe then defended as a "funny turn of phrase". The "funny turn of phrase" directly compared the responses here to the treatment of sexual abuse in minor children. And you referred to it as a...

So let's respond to this then. It's going to be a long post, but I'll summarize the approach here: 1) Multiple users have reported similar observations in this very thread (myself, @Ravenflight , @TimbaLand ) 2) Similar phenomena are well documented across other online sources. Therefore, this...

1) I made no reference to you when I used the term. Read it again. 2) That is EXACTLY what you implied. What on earth did you even mean by that statement if it was not to imply that observations made here are wrong and just because others note the same, they are still wrong? Ironically, the OP...

You find sexual abuse funny? Firstly, I didn't use the term "prick", I used the term "sanctimonious prick". Here is a handy definition of the term: A "sanctimonious prick" is a slang and derogatory term used to describe someone who is self-righteously moralistic and arrogant, often in a...

Show me. Come on.

Why so adversarial? On this thread, real-life observations have been made about the behaviour of particular equipment. By myself, and also by many others. @Ravenflight reported the same, also noted by his customers and even his son. You and your pseudo-science fundamentalist buddies have NOT...

So let me get this straight. You are basically equating observations and experiences of many members of this forum, which are also echoed by many users online, let alone reviewers of this equipment, to ignorant flat-earth believers and anti-science Americans? I am not even going to validate it...

Haha, not throwing any stones from this glass house!

From page 5 in the attachment:

This. All I would add, is that it looks (on paper) as if the Denon was designed as a network media player that happens to have a variable output. The Emotiva appears to be designed as a DAC and digital pre-amp. It (the Emotiva) has a good quality volume control and the choice of RCA and XLR...

Very cool pics! You have to tell us what was in the black bag... Now let's sit back and hear how all the recipients of the cable upgrades could not have possibly heard an actual improvement but were actually victims of confirmation bias. 🤦‍♂️

I’ll bite… late afternoon pics of my joy machine. Late 80’s Linn Sondek, featuring original lid, afromosia plinth and platter. As for the rest: Cirkus bearing, Hercules power supply, top plate and chassis were upgraded with help from Rudi, Dewaudio bottom plate. Ekos tonearm and Ortofon...
