I too imagine like "Gray" said your in for a treat 😁 I have heard a lot of similarly aged amps, anciliries and even more speakers "growing up" around hifi in that era from which one of my favourites in the much to mentioned Pioneer a400 came out right at the beginning of that decade, such fond...

All good ideas 💡 It's strange one can get a mini pc cheaper than a decent "audiophile" streamer from that people can make their own assumptions but when feeding an existing decent dac with it's own "clock" then it's definitely a good solution to cut cost, also with added perks of having an open...

👋🤗 So absolutely obviously a typo yet the infantile part of me chuckled at what a flawed concept a "Steamer DAC" would be from the inevitable, but in this world of convenience what an interesting way of keeping the kitchen uncluttered 😂 Although a streamer/dac that combines a usb connection is...

Reading between the lines, I'm assuming perhaps it's a "Bluetooth/DAC receiver" being fed by a laptops native Bluetooth then wired into the amps RCA ? If it is then It's a set-up I'm very familiar with being something I've done a couple of times in yrs gone by for convenience and again with a...

Whoops misread 🤭 Not to sideline of course that the same rule of "resistant air" applies to both mpg, acceleration and top speed.

DAC's can make a difference mostly when going from cheap to a better one but Bluetooth will always be a weak link, I have Bluetooth in my system via an Ifi-Zen with LDAC but still mothballed it in the end noticing it's limits and to me with my system a massive improvement using a Hegal dac...

I saw all sorts around the modded car scene as a yoof that actually works exponentially better and almost free, it's been doing the rounds since the early days of mods way back but has like the above it's drawbacks, although running skinnies with the things we had would be suicide and most car...

You know I'm having to bite my lip on this one, I can only guess at some of the feelings shared perhaps with the users and hosts of this site over the whole thing hinted at maybe by the fact the comments are left on and it's not just a fixed message. Nobody that I know has fallen for this...

So you can't talk to each other now, forcing people to use VPN's which unlocks a much, much more murky world including the dark web etc to those it falsely protects,. To stay within forum rules I will leave the sentiment there but can say I fail to see anything BUT what everyone and his dog is...

Must admit I've opened a similar threads to other ones before not knowing one already exists 😕

Not to miss the point as I agree in most cases 👍, but in my situation indeed with open back headphones and cycle mirrors I have the better hearing and awareness needed than a car driver with his radio on and their window up as is nearly always the case, combined with 85% of my cycling being done...

Ah the old "jack of all trades master of none" Ive got a bit of experience with phones and things you perhaps shouldn't do to them , as I see it making them truly yours via "rooting" and flashing over a custom ROM is absolutely a must and more than justified given that so much of a phones...

Whoops done it again, just listened to a group I've newly discovered that I really like and can't remember the song title nor number of the track 🤣 That's when I know an album has really got me, when I drift off as I inch it louder and louder l oosing all perception of both my surroundings and...

🤣 Yeah I'm on occasions i risk my life trying to cycle both safely for motorists and pedestrians but never joining the Spandex symphony, still rocking it like in my skatepark days with baggy whatevers on and one leg tucked into my sock to prevent the old chainring of death sucking in my trouser...

Very good post👍 and I agree with most of your thoughts. People have been saying the same trope way back since the beginning of digital formats as they did with the way back inception of Digital radio (dab) in which was cited as "revolutionising the way we listen to music, with near CD quality...
