    Schiit Modi optical - Sonos Connect

    Do you remember anything else about the Sonos sounding better on Optical?  I found this in a google search as I was wondering the same thing.   I was actually evaluating a few DACs based on the coax from a sonos connect, and when I switched over to the optical it changed everything.  Sounded...

    Emotiva Pro airmotiv4 Loudspeakers Review

    I am checking out a pair of the Airmotiv 5's... I also have been using Swan's M200MKIII for a while. I've seen a few questions in this thread about comparing them.   I've only got a few listening hours in on the AIrmotiv 5's but I'd have to say they are definetly "different"   The Swan's...

    Who still has the Sony SA5000?

    I do agree that these are specialty phones and not good as your only pair. I enjoy too much music that sounds terrible on these phones.   Also I only use them on my modded X-can v2 tube amp with X-psu, so YMMV.   That said, there are no other headphones I have heard (HD800's included) so...

    Differences in Lossless audio

    I use MS's WMA Lossless... However what matters more than any lossless codec you pick is the DAE extraction quality from your drive... I find the plextor premium cd burner to do the best job at ripping, at around 4 to 8x. Oh and make sure to use that green pen just for good luck.
