Hi Gleeds,
I unfortunately did not really determine how beamy the Popori are. They are flat, so I do not think they would be much different than the Innersounds in that regard. I could be wrong. One other thing I wonder is how long the panels will last? I know the Martin Logans, and Soundlabs...
Yes I listened to these. They were quite good.
I own Innersound Kaya electrostats so I was curious how they compared. They play pretty low for a full range panel design. They are supposed to be much more efficient than my speakers. I think they were playing them with 80 wpc tube amps, if I...
I was also impressed with the sound in the Dutch & Dutch room. Sure is an easy way to get excellent sound all in one package.
Another speaker that I was very impressed with was the Cabasse Rialto. I walked in this room and almost just walked right back out. I saw some small bookshelf speakers...
I will be there. Really nice having a show in the Pacific Northwest now. It's been quite a few years since I have attended an audio show. Look forward to seeing everyone there.
Interesting. Thanks for your observations. The DV2 must be a nice improvement over the DA-2 version 1 I auditioned in my system, before I got the May. At the time I had the Holo Audio Spring 2, and though the DA-2 v1 was nice, I did not feel the it was worth the investment at the time.
I find...
After longer review, I much prefer I2S, over USB out of the Wavedream Net. Seems to be more dynamic, more open, and natural sounding. Usb does seem to be slightly quieter, but that is likely because the top end sounds lower in level. Depending on the balance of ones system, that may be a good...
Thanks, I revisited it again today. I got usb to work this time. I found that if both I2S cable, and USB cable were connected at the same time, hqplayer would not see the driver for usb. After removing the I2S cable, Hqplayer was able to see the right usb driver.
Usb out of the Wavedream does...
That is interesting. Your hdmi and/or usb cable of choice may make a difference. We both have different systems, and ears so our conclusions can, and will differ. This is why it is most important to test things for oneself in your own system ultimately.
There is very little instruction on their...
PS. I only prefer I2S when the Wavedream Net is used as a Hqplayer NAA endpoint and not as a Roon core. I use a SonicTranporter I-9 from Small Green Computer as a Roon core that also has Hqplayer installed.
I have not tried any other I2S output device on the May so I have no idea if other I2S...
Hi Tvad, I was using ALT3 for a little while before I realized the channels were swapped. Now using ALT2
My guess is most people use USB because it is most convenient. The USB implementation on the May is very good. I happen to like I2S through the Wavedream net more. What hdmi cable are you...
