Hi Wireless, I have an original Hydra, I haven't heard the latest versions.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] This is torture
I've apparently been too busy enjoying the music to follow up on my own thread. The Transporter is significantly better than the SB3 (with Bolder modified Elpac power supply, FWIW) in every aspect of musical reproduction. I didn't expect the difference to be as significant as it is. Perhaps the biggest difference to my ears is the extent to which the Transporter conveys a sense of the space around individual instruments. I love the new system. Got some high res files from www.itrax.com and they sound amazing. -- dagordon dagordon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6804 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43918 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] What is connected to your Transporter?
Mine is simply connected to the pre/power via xlr's Wireless, you should also look at the Isotek mini-sub and the sigmas as a very good alternative to the hydra, they are quite popular in Europe but im not sure they are in the US market... The inclusion of the min-sub to my system was heavenly, probably my best purchase since it made all my equipment sound as it good as it should, good luck searching... +---+ |Filename: setup2.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4609| +---+ -- GuyDebord Reference3A RoyalMaster monitors biwired with van den Hul Inspiration, REL Strata5.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Studio Acoustics speakers
Im trying to figure out the best option for installing ceiling or wall mounted speakers and came across this: http://www.studioacoustics.com.au/home_inceiling.php?name=In-/-Ceiling-Speakers Has anyone got any experience with these. There are 2 things Im trying to figure out: 1) Are the speakers any good (or is this another case of using something whizzy so that people overlook the fundamentals i.e. the sound quality. 2) Are Studio Acoustics generally speaking any good?

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Jensen Speakers
Im interested in opinions on Jensen speakers, particularly from anyone who has used them with an SB3 or Duet. If so, whether youd recommend them and what particular models are well suited for in-ceiling installation. Thanks in advance for any info!

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] volume burst w/digital inputs even w/firmware 36
UGH. When I first got my TP, every time I tried to use the digital inputs, I would experience a burst of volume whenever I hit play or switched modes. I learned that that problem had been fixed w/new firmware (I had been running fw 31). However, because I have SS (now SC) running on a Thecus NAS, I couldn't update the firmware until a module came out for the new version of SS/SC (or at least i couldn't figure out how to do it). Anyway, today, I downloadaed SC 7.0 w/the new Thecus module. The firware was updated to v.36. Unfortunately, the burst still comes when I turn on the digital inputs. I have tried reloading the fw a couple of times. I even reloaded 7.0. NO LUCK. ANy ideas how I can fix this problem?

That issue is supposed to be fixed in fw40 (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42960) which is still in testing. You should be able to download and try out that version if you're so inclined. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44882 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] CD Player as DAC recommendation?
selfdivider;272922 Wrote: A little update... Well, I started this thread I'm happy to report that I decided to go with SB3 running through Cambridge Audio 840C. I was too lazy to build a noiseless PC... that project is still on hold. I still like the idea of having a standalone CDP with my audiophile system. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't see that being a negative. There are some CDs I'd like to take the effort to burn into HD carefully, going through EAC and labelling the files, but there are some I'd rather just pop in the CDP here there. You can't beat versatility. Cambridge Audio 840C can be had now for around $1100 - $1200, so it puts it on par with Benchmark DAC, more or less. So for similar price, you also get an excellent CDP, which is a huge plus. I haven't A-B'd them, but 840C stacks up well. It uses two Analog Devices chips per channel as DAC: that's 4 altogether... pretty killer if you ask me (I think Benchmark also uses AD DAC chip? I know that many Esoterics do.) Plus upsampling to 24/384. Really heavy-duty power supply. And in the end, all I know is that the music from SB3 sounds fantastic going through 840C. Hopefully later down the line, I'll get to compare directly with Transporter. How does the Cambridge playing the CD compare to the SB3 playing through the Cambridge's DAC? -- upstateaudio upstateaudio's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42020 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Studio Acoustics speakers
As I see from your other post about Jensen, I see you're looking for some in-wall/ceiling speakers. Personally I would find a dealer and listen to some of the options. I found that Paradigm made some nice stuff. http://www.paradigm.com -- SuperQ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44879 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
