    Matrix Audio mini-i 4 Streamer Review

    I guess I was worried about the conversion factors since the mini-i pro 4 will DAC and then the miniDSP will ADC then DAC output to the amp then speakers. I am assuming we probably won't have a loss in quality for that. The simpler chain would be to have something like a bluesound node that has...

    Matrix Audio mini-i 4 Streamer Review

    question, if I got this matrix to source out arc from my tv, can i also output balanced into a minidsp flex's balanced input to get room correction to my amp and speakers? Daisy chain it to enjoy both a streaming source, tv connection, and room correction in two boxes?

    None so far! Just trying out several integrated amps for now but they’ve all had limitations. Bluesound devices had annoying audio limitations

    Streamer to MiniDSP Flex for 2.0 HT? Bluesound Node vs Matrix Audio Mini I-4

    Hello! I am looking at two options here when connecting my TV and streaming audio services to my 2.0 speaker setup (Ascend Acoustics ELX towers): 1. Use a Bluesound Node to connect to my TV via HDMI Arc and connect to MiniDSP flex via SPDIF. The problem I read online is that the node...

    DAC + AMP separates for future upgrades? (2.0 -> 5.1)

    @HarmonicTHD Thanks for the help! It does put things into perspective In the end, I am looking at two scenarios for a separate DAC/Preamp/streamer system or an integrated streamer for my amp. I hope to eventually move my two speakers (ascend acoustics sierra tower v2) into a HT system, if that...

    Schiit Modius Balanced DAC Review

    Quick question here @eburb, I've read in other posts that I can effectively just use the Node as a preamp, so would I be able to just do: Blusound Node streamer --coaxial--> Schiit Modius --XLR--> Parasound A21 amp ?

    DAC + AMP separates for future upgrades? (2.0 -> 5.1)

    @linger63 I’ve read in this same Forum that because there is no way to turn off the digital amp, there will be about a 50ms delay. They need this delay to play across other BluOS devices which you can’t remove. That means I will have to delay the avr sound as well and get it just right to sync...

    DAC + AMP separates for future upgrades? (2.0 -> 5.1)

    Thanks for the reply @luft262. Seeing that the latest denons have an amp SINAD of 87 compared to separate hifi amps that can measure in the 100+, do you think it will matter much?

    DAC + AMP separates for future upgrades? (2.0 -> 5.1)

    Hello! I just joined the ASR community and was curious on the best path forward with my future plans. I just bought some ascend acoustics tower speakers to fill up my two story 1600SQFT condo. These towers will ideally be for critical listening as well as for watching movies (50%/50%). My condo...
