Hehe I know, but it is a considerable cost, too high for me at the moment to warrent being afraid of three small cables. I just came from the shop where I heard them just briefly, badly positioned on a shelf and they sounded great on different levels.

If I would go for the Xeo 2 I would probably end up using them over bluetooth for music at times based on mere lazyness, but as I will have to wire them from TV and phono-stage anyway I will also hook it up to my streamer, so for me it would still be some cable job to be done, although get rid...

Thanks for the reply lpv. The reason why i'm suddenly attracted to the Dynaudio, besides the wallmounting and neatness of it, has to do with its more than okey input section, as I would not need a new preamp with my actives and where I could neatly hide my phono-stage and streamer away.

I suddenly got my eyes on some Xeo 2 and that due to their DSP they might be abole to wall mount and sound more than okay still. I am temtped to 'settle' with this because I will have to adress the problem of soon having a small child running around in the living room. It suddenly feels like a...

I have one question to this statement as you quite often throughout this thread has mixed up use-value with exchange-value, but in this one it became emphasized so clearly. Should we as listeners to music be concerned with anything but the use-value of a recording? In this sense, if we are not...

As many times, there might be more sense in trying to establish our own what we think is 'good enough' than to argue against the technological facts, and say that vinyl is better than CD, or that Hi-Res is better than both CD and Vinyl, contrary to much research on our capabilities to grasp...

Same here. Most of my 24 bit recordings are from a few purchases of new albums only available in either 320, or 24/48 and from a a free three month membership of B&W Society of Sounds, all other are ripped CD's. It doesn't disturb me to have Hi-Res recordings, altough I dobut I will engage in...

I'm sitting at the library, writing and listening to Martin Fröst - Martin Fröst plays Brahms on Naxos (2014)

Thanks Grey. If I dabble a bit in computers and linux, the electrical side of things of anything is beyond me. I have tried a dedicated powered USB hub to feed my DAC to see if it made any difference, but I could not hear any audible difference in my setup. So I have no real reason to change...

The latest Pi (3) even has an internal Wifi card which I use for the moment before I can move my router and easily make use of the ethernet, I have had no problems with files up to 24/96 on Wifi. My best spent 45 euro's. I have also been intrigued to try out a linear PSU, although I dont...

I know that the OP doesn't want the hassle with RPi, but I also recommend this strongly. The UI is really good so it can be a + 1 for anyone else having the same quest.

The room probably has quite a lot of reflective and strange surfaces, and wooden floor. On an 'unrelated' note, I really experienced a quite better sound while we for a day during some repainting in a couple of larger wardrobes, and filled the room with lots of clothes. However, I don't have...

Thanks guys for the input. I have tried with my Dali Zensors Pico that I have on my desk, with great improvement in this regard. However, that they lack in most other departments. What annoys me is that it really only concerns these kinds of music, which I however listen to quite extensively...

I have recently noticed how I feel discomfort when I listen, in my stereo setup, to recordings where the piano (and to some extent, the contrabass) is put in the centre of the mix of recordings. This goes mainly for jazz recordings (such as Esbjörn Svensson Trio records, some of Avishai Cohen...

I'm using Runeaudio on Rpi3 connected to a Henry Audio Dac, and it's a wonderful step forward from when I previously used my Macbook pro to the DAC. If not in terms of sound (I think I heard a difference but I wouldnt testify under oath for that) but in convienence.
