    Amp Ultra vs Ultra/Vibelink?

    This is a discussion forum. Whilst you may have started the thread, you don't own it. It belongs to all forum members. People are allowed to have different opinions, in fact the forum would die if everyone had the same view and no one would learn anything.

    Which music server(s) do you use, and why?

    Me too. One of my Duets failed and I was beginning to worry about how I would access my music if they all failed and then along came WiiM to solve my problem.

    expensive power cables

    As a retired power specialist I would say he is spot on. Power companies (or any company for that matter) do not spend money unnecessarily.

    What are you listening to?

    The bitds in bold are the titles of Beatle songs and many of the other words come from the lyrics. Lyrics The long and winding road that leads to your door Here comes the sun it's alright people shout for more But were you trying to deceive telling me All you need is love to succeed Lady...

    Optical port dead?

    My experience with Wiim Ultra

I can hear up to 13.5khZ (apparently very good for a man of my age) whilst my wife can hear up to 17khZ (exceptional according to the audiologist and similar to the hearing of a...

    How to think about room correction settings like frequency range and gain?

    The correct amount of toe in is when you cannot see the sides of either speaker when sitting in your preferred listening position.

    search filter by audio resolution

    I used to work for a major UK telecommunications company. When the digital network began to be used for music replay they experimented with people's ability to differentiate by between various bit rates. They found that over 90% of people dragged in off the street couldn't differentiate...
