Have a chromecast right now, and after some posts in a different forum, I did a listen to it against a USB audio input from a tablet both into an NFB-28 Audio-Gd.   I really didnt think I would but there definitely was an audible difference. Is a Raspberry Pi over Coax going to sound better than...

Can't seem to find anything in between these two products in price, Looking for Coaxial Digital out, and something a little better perhaps than the Chromecast.  Not crazy about $300....   I would have assumed there would be a bunch or products.....

I am looking for suggestions here.  WHat I do seems really clunky and inefficent, but perhaps its not.   I go NAS to WDTV Live, out HDMI into a splitter, and into the NFB as coaxial....  I control it off of UPNP using bubble up.  Please critique and advise on a better way.   I would assume...

Wondering what the current ETA is for a replacement for the HE-6?  Or has it been concluded that the HE-560 is the upgrade?   Thanks

Looking for recommendations.  I am not particularly fond of monster as a 3600 MKii is DOA, and going back.... what else is there?     I see the triplite LC1800  any opinions?   I am looking for more of a power conditioner than surge protector...   Thanks in advance.  

A major victory for me, perhaps its been academic for most here.  But the final piece of the puzzle was an upgraded router, in my case the Asus -68 series the difference it made over the 66 was impressive, as far as being able to stream monster flac files.  not sure if it would push 24/192 or...

Looking for a single cable that is Mini-USB OTG on one end and Type B on the other.  Anyone know of any sources?  I am doing it with an adapter right now, and not happy with that method.  Thanks

I recently discovered Binaural recordings and am blown away by many of them (Can, Ottmar Liebart, and the Chesky's).  The sites in the US that I am aware of that have some of these are Chesky/HDtracks, Amazon, and the Milwaukee Sympony Orchestra.     Overseas I have discovered the Society of...

Like the HE-500 but the bug has bitten.  How much of an upgrade would the Stax be?  Night and day or subtle?  Thanks   I assume the plug on the Stax is a standard balanced plug, and any good amp can be used correct?

I really like my Audio-gd NFB 11.32  and my HE-500's what would the forum suggest as an affordable 9018 based dac/amp?  Any products outside the Audio-GD stable?  E.G. less than say $700.  I find you can usually get 80+% of the performance for 20% of the price for many things.....  This counts...

With two ifs.....   If you can sideload USB Audio Player Pro   If you can sideload a streamer like Slick UPNP which allows you to choose the local render (USB Audio Player Pro).   Be able to stream 24/96 and possibly 192 goodness over USB

I have been looking for a way to stream 24 bit files to my phones from my DLNA NAS.  I have been using my S4 with an Audio-GD DAC, and to my HE-500s  but it doesnt sound that great, and I believe the S4 is the problem.   I had been looking at getting an OPPO-103 to replace the phone in the...

Try my question a different way.   Would an OPPO 103 provide an audibly better source Signal to an Audio-GD NFB11 over SPDIF, versus a Samsung Galaxy S4 over USB?  Assume high quality source material.   Thanks in advance   Mark

Question for the experts.   Whats the weak link in the chain of connecting my phone a Galaxy S4 to stream from a DLNA server using the USB out function, to Audio-GD 11.32 driving HE-500 cans?  Cabelling is all generic stuff BTW.  The files are generally high quality FLACs and better, I have a...

Squeeze box touch is now a legacy device and crazy expensive... My sonos wont go past 16, and is limited otherwise as well.... there HAS to be something else out there right?  cant seem to find it googling or playing on amazon.  Must have either Coax or Optical out.....  Will be used with an...

Long time lurker first time poster.  After hanging out here for a while in the shadows I bought an pair of HE-500s' and an Audio GD 11.32... really couldnt be happier (at least for now)....  This is kind of my approach in many of my hobbies, instead of being an 70% of the performance, for 10% of...
