If you go for a line-level DAC, maybe something like this as preamp? http://www.ebay.de/itm/F6-PGA2311-Remote-Preamplifier-Toroid-transformer-Support-3-way-Input-CL130-/121488851776?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item1c494cc340

In order to fool your ears and your brain into the illusion of a soundstage, the sound produced by different drivers must integrate seamlessly. The closer you seat to the speakers, and the more drivers the speakers have, the more difficult it is to achieve this.

Different speakers must perform different amounts of work to generate the same loudness—that makes lots of sense. For example, in order to improve bass in a small speaker, sensitivity must be reduced, while larger speakers need to work less to generate the same bass at the same loudness. A...

A couple of options from Italy: http://www.ebay.es/itm/251867005119?clk_rvr_id=796136923446&rmvSB=true http://www.subito.it/audio-video/schede-naim-na326-padova-105392398.htm No affiliation.

I don't think the problem is the little availability of the speakers, or the long time that buyers need to wait to have them. Out of the many complains we've seen in this forum, it seems to me that the problem is that EB Acoustics regularly fails to meet the dates agreed with their customers...

I've worked in professional reviews of IT products, and what Gazzip says is how it's usually done. Reviewers don't want to risk their credibility, so will usually not even consider products by companies that don't meet certain minimums, such as financials, long-term viability, capacity to...

Thanks for the detailed answer, Esra.

Ey Esra, didn't you also have the Pioneer N-P01? How do they compare? Did you replace it with the Stream 2, or still have both? Does the Stream 2 show album covers on the screen when playing music? I've looked for pictures in the Internet and haven't found any showing this. Thanks as always.

Just manage the music library with iTunes—either with a direct share or DAAP. (You will likely want the latter as your connection to the NAS won't be persistent.) Then you tell AS where you have your music stored and it will index it. Just make sure that album covers are stored within the...

The Synology can be used to play audio too. You just need to enable the Audio Station service.

I completely get the thing with iTunes. The other players I've tried don't cut it for me. Since you haven't bought a NAS yet, I'd recommend you to check both Synology (commercial) and FreeNAS (open source). Both can act as an iTunes Server in the network.

You could also play media always from the computer—with the advantage that you'd only manage a single music collection—and use the tablet as remote controller. There are many options, but a straight one would be to use an app like this.

We are making fun of this. But I am sure that half of us would actually replace the cable. *biggrin*

Maybe something like this.

Just run a search for them in the Spanish Amazon site… I am trying to include a link but the verification thing of the antispam system of the forum is failing—yet again. As for the over-ear, they sound better but are also bigger and so, even less discreet. Also, before buying it would make...
