Reports that Sony Interactive buys Audeze don't seem to have registered here yet... but I'd say congrats to Sankar and everyone who started Audeze, while I'm puzzled at this matchup with the Playstation...

thx. guess what - I know I could use other connections. I'm telling you I prefer balanced ones when available, and linux to windows (who doesn't?)... I have heard devices by lumin and linn and devialet - all very good - but I was asking for recommendations for streaming products (many are new)...

well, it doesn't necessarily have to be upnp - it's just inertia because that's what I've set up for the past years. I'm not convinced by the sonos ecosystem - there are trade-offs with every convenience. (you write sonus but I think you mean sonos, unless you're referring to another brand). I...

PS: I have auditioned the SONY HAPZ1ES and it sounds very good, but it's not going to do TIDAL or play from the NAS in another room... But I may just have found a good candidate, at a lower price than the CA Azur: The Oppo Sonica DAC - does anyone have any listening experience with this? Thanks...

Been waiting for the day when I have to finally replace my original Slim Devices (Logitech) Transporter (DAC/Streamer). I probably use TIDAL as much as the music I have on my NAS these days. I like my amp/speakers/cables, so I won't change much there soon. So, I'm compiling a shortlist of...

Hi all, oddball issue here (zombie thread come back to life!) - I picked up a RIVA S player at CamJam 2016, but while it works well with my iPhone and computer via iTunes, it does not accept a signal from Audirvana Plus. Any ideas why this might be? I prefer not to use iTunes and like Audirvana...

Will be there

shoot. not gonna make it, car fail

okay, zombie thread - come back to life! walk! speak!   iPodPJ had written, way back when:   "I think eventually they will go up in value, unless something better takes their place."   and while my (original, not SE) Transporter still works, I keep running into issues with my Mac mini...

this would have been fantastic - just minutes away from where I usually am - but I'll be away this weekend, alas. would have loved to compare notes on maggies vs cans...

sorry on crutches and therefore less likely to make it... have fun!

since I'm local, I'm already there!

will try to make this one!

sure, I'll be there - again. looking forward to mayhem spreading all over two hotels like a virus

yes, I'd like to second the request for comparisons to VST plug-ins etc. for what it's worth, I got a Reveel a couple months ago, and have been using it with various portable sources; it does less than a high-quality portable amp, but more than listening without an amp. not sure it's worth it...

not clandestine, but still good conversation - here's Jude with UE's Vincent Liu  

wow, this was busier and bigger than expected. I guess I'd been away for too long... (a couple of faces I recognized even said to me "hey, you're alive?")    I especially enjoyed: the UE folks, the Apogee One, the Chord HUGO, and of course: the Abyss driven by some Craig Uthus monster amp...

maybe by march 22 everyone will have their own, but otherwise I could bring the reveel portable amp with me so people can try it... no table space needed tho, it's tiny!

@450 - yeah, I was tempted to call their customer service, but I'd only do that if I am convinced to keep the stuff. right now I'm a skeptic. so I wanted to see if someone has pointers on getting the set-up going so I can test it with my own ears, and then decide… guess that's circular logic...

alright, don't shoot - I moved into a house this week that has an old bose acoustimass system in the living room. I cannot seem to get it to work. is it worth trying? cables distribute from the woofer through the walls to these little speakers mounted around the ceiling... I have no idea how...

great, I plan to attend - gear to bring undecided...

registered (and will bring a guest who'll register upon arrival), but won't bring much gear
