    What is the point of CD rips?

    In case of entire internet shutdown, when thinking about potential causes, I think personal CD collections would be the least of our worries ;)

    [FS] [EU] [France] [PAUSED] Boxem Arthur 3409/N2 (Hypex NC252MP)

    Hi, sorry for late response. I had to pause selling my Arthur 3409/N2 for few weeks as I finally went for a 3 channels Boxem A 5519/N3 that I shall receive by mid April. I will reactivate this thread once new power amp received.

    Can you hear a difference between audio cables? ABX test

    Thus, I think I will be nice to rename the thread to have single ended / balanced information within it. It will attract different people and less trolls.

    Can you hear a difference between audio cables? ABX test

    Yep, so even more less related to the cable wires themselves. With current title, I am afraid that this thread will turn into, like some other ones, a chaotic endless sterile fight with cable believers.

    Can you hear a difference between audio cables? ABX test

    So, from my understanding, the thread title can be misleading, as despite being 2 different cables, measured differences are rather related to balanced / unbalanced topologies. Am I correct ?

    Minidsp Flex Review (Audio DSP)

    I confirm it does. And as I didn't want that, I had to configure my other CEC enabled devices to not power on/off my Flex HT.

    Master Thread: Are measurements Everything or Nothing?

    The only reasonable, proven and tangible fact from his statement is: Sorry, I couldn't resist doing it ;)

    boXem A series

    A Boxem "A" 5517/N2 (ncx500) just replaced an Boxem Arthur 3409/N2 (nc252mp) ! Kept sourcing with Fred as I value the care he puts his designs (thermal management, electric safety) and his value proposition (casing, auto sense) DHL was very fast.

    In this case, that is exactly what I was looking for :) I needed a small monoblock for a central channel and had to get the ZA3 in January. This would happily replace the ZA3 !

    Do you refer to yourself as an 'audiophile'?

    I am afraid we will disagree on that point :) Unless the word "disagree" meaning had evolve in "modern" usages ;) Words meaning / definition haven't evolve. What have evolve are stereotypes and judgements. And again, stereotypes are not universal. The audiophile stereotype for given...

    Do you refer to yourself as an 'audiophile'?

    I get what you mean but still this kind of reasoning seems very weird to me. Following this reasoning, shall I lie or hide the fact I eat meat in front of vegetarians ? Just because they will judge me as a bad person or an has-been or whatever else? NO! Defining yourself through the perception...

    Do you refer to yourself as an 'audiophile'?

    This discussion will lead nowhere unless we stick to the definition/meaning of this term instead of each for us providing its own definition/understanding/adaptation of it :) From a pure semantic standpoint, I agree with @MattHooper . Most of us here are indeed audiophiles wherever you like it...

    MiniDSP SHD vs Flex HTx

    The only thing I got tricked with is the eArc requirement. My media box unfortunately does not support earc. I had to get a FeinTech VAX04101A to route video stream to the TV and the earc audio to the Flex. It was way cheaper than a HD fury, very small form factor (hidden behind other devices)...

    MiniDSP SHD vs Flex HTx

    My (french) internet provider provides me 2 boxes : server box ( internet / router / nas / home automation and alarm) and media box (TV and apps). The media box can either send bitstream or can do local bitstream decoding (including Atmos) and then send lpcm. That is the reason why I got...
