    Why is Sonarworks so overpriced?

    $250 for their headphones and speakers, even on sale, it doesn't drop below $200, this is ridiculous, no wonder I always get email with sales cause nobody is buying this, not to mention besides the mic, it costs them nothing to deliver a license is this even worth it for hifi listening? I don't...

    $1700 just to get a comparable Motu in RME

    The only equivalent in the RME lineup is the FireFOX UCX2 at $1700. No other RME model offers similar features as the Ultralite MK5. You have to pay almost triple the price to have all of this in RME. Is it better than the Motu? Probably, but is it $1100 more better? More than likely no...

    How can I implement a UPS, if I have Surgex series mode 10 outlet?

    As far as I know, you're not supposed to connect a 10 outlet series mode to another surge protectors. ALL UPS have surge protector MOVs inside. Its only recommended to use the 2 outlet series mode with UPS or other surge protector strips. How come there is not a UPS without a surge protector...

    Is there a music streamer that is smaller than Wimm ultra while still having a screen?

    I like the Winn Ultra but I wish it was somewhat smaller. Its kinda bulky. I found smaller streamers but without a screen. The size of Wimm ultra is even bigger than my Motu interface. Since Im on a desk setup. The only place I could place the Wimm is maybe on the top of my computer case

    RME are a terrible value cost wise

    The RME UCX2 retails for $1700 and it only has the AK4458 dac The Motu Ultralite MK5 at $650 (which is very similar in size and features), is almost three times less expensive, comes with ES9026PRO which is equivalent to the AK4490 in some Denons. Both of these DACs are superior to the AK4458...

    What's the most affordable sound treatment?

    Most of the stuff sold online is overpriced for what it is, where is literally just cheap MDF wood with a cloth on it, but they charge hundreds. I received sound treatment advice from GikAcoustics for 13x13 room, where I need more bass traps than anything else. To sound treat it as they...

    It really sucks living in an apartment

    but I don't have another choice. Houses are way too expensive in Florida and I could never afford one by myself, especially with my subpar credit. I couldn't afford the payments either. I'm lucky enough that my parents love me and they let me live in one of their apartments. I live here with my...

    Genelec is too expensive in the USA

    Everywhere else is considerably cheaper, especially in Europe. In addition, Genelec has gone out of their way to block any possible way for US residents to purchase abroad and have their products shipped to USA, but even if you could do it, shipping would probably cancel out the savings anyway...

    How much better are The Ones compared to 8030c

    Based on everything I've read, the difference in sound between the 8030c and its SAM brother the 8330a is almost nothing. Some reviews even put the 8030c above the 8330a. The 8030c are $1400 and its pompous brother the 8331a are $5000 That's a huge price difference, especially if you didn't...

    Tube amps for headphones are a contradiction

    Tube amps for headphones seems like a contradiction, as you ears are millimeters away from the headphones. Since tube amps, in essence, are all the same, regardless of application, you would need to drive them at higher volume to actually get the best tone from them, this can't be good for your...

    Equipment: - Motu ultralite mk5 - Genelec 8030c I have my interface always on, as I don't like power it on and off. The Genelec have standby mode.

    How to connect turntable to audio interface?

    I'm looking for a turntable that can connect to my audio interface Motu ultralite mk5, so I can use it with my Genelec 8030c All these turntables only come with RCA. If you use an RCA to TS cable, it would connect and work, but wouldn't the quality be inferior since is unbalanced? Even the...

    Theory on Why There Aren't More Audiophile

    interesting post I found on Reddit One question that I see come up a lot is: why aren't there more audiophiles? Why so many normies? I've thought a lot about this. I think the answer is: For most people: music is enough and hearing music is easy. Really good sound is rare and untapped...

    Amps for headphones make no sense

    Why would you need more volume/power in the first place, when headphones are closer to your ears than any other audio reproduction. It makes ZERO sense. An external DAC should offer more than enough power, volume and clarity for anything. I have Motu Ultralite MK5 and my headphones which I...

    Audiophile equipment vs Computer equipment

    If you look at computers, especially gaming and high performance, if you build or buy a high performance computer today, it will probably be outdated 2-3 years from now. Does audio equipment stay relevant for longer? If you buy some $2000+ Genelec speakers, for example, chances are, they will...

    Is there a subwoofer that can powered on and off with remote control or windows app?

    Basically, I want to get a subwoofer for my Genelec 8030c, and have the option to turn it on at certain times, without having to crouch under my desk to turn it on and off? Is this even possible? The speakers will be connected to the subwoofer I suppose. I don't think this is possible with the...
