Hey Nutul , thats the best point of view you put out their in a long time , Seriously best of luck to you with that, Gee’s just think of how lucky we are can you just imagine if we still had to use morse code, Wow we’d really have problems, however, it’s all good no really enjoy yourself and you also Have a wonderful day good luck may God bless you , thank you .:-} I even gave you a like I always do , peace be with you …Nutul seriously , I don’t know you personally but from observing you conducting yourself throughout the forum I think you’re a pretty good guy really, I Wouldn’t Take things so serious or to heart, I don’t know if you ever gave this any thought, but however, 6 or 8 months from now most of us or a good deal of us that are on this fourm now won’t even be around here anymore. Just like anything else of this nature.Things will have moved on in every direction so why get so distraught basically over a bunch of bullsunflower in plain words, I see forum member names coming and going all the time you can’t take this stuff seriously but I do understand where you’re coming from. In the mean time , Have a good one.your a nice very knowledgeable and accommodating guy…
milky I may be wrong. I’ve been looking at the T8 myself. I now own an A8, Before that I own the HIFI Rose that was almost twice the cost of the A8, from gaining quite a bit of knowledge throughout my own experimentation with different types of equipment along with a few very knowledgeable individuals on this forum I believe the T8 will be a wonderful UNIT, almost certain with some upgraded parts and circuitry as far as the internals, but it’s just kind a strip down UNIT, where there is no internal dac Stream is a stream, no matter where it’s coming from even if you own a Mac mini your biggest overall improvement if any will more than likely be and investing in a very good DAC With a very good preamp in front of the T8 When I sold the very expensive, HIFI rose for the A8! In all honesty you Eversolo was at least 90% or better or let me say just as good as the HIFI Rose in which cost almost $2000 more than the 8 due to the nature of what you’re dealing with, you would absolutely think in all likelihood the overall sound would be that much better but unfortunately, in the world of electronics, especially streaming it doesn’t work that way I believe you may gain a little bit more if you start getting into galvanic, isolation and things of that nature but as far as I believe you’re basically looking at about the same sound quality other than again whatever DAC you are going to incorporate it’s just a different type UNIT in my personal opinion I like the AKM dac I believe for now I would just keep the A 8, I honestly believe from a technical standpoint of view that will be the only real difference. This is just my personal opinion from past experience and people that have been doing it a lot longer than I have but good luck with that. Let’s see what happens. Have a nice weekend
Would you like to back up your unwavering belief in sound improvement with solid technical background knowledge? What could a "transporter" do differently or better? It shovels data across a network using the TCP protocol. Just like all other computers. Would you like to explain your belief to me?
Hey Mister L , hope all is well , I believe That’s exactly what I stated, just from my Basic understanding. The new model T-8 that’s due out next shortly , From my limited knowledge, I don’t believe The streaming electronics inside of the unit in operational output will sound any better over any of the other units that are now available Please correct me if I’m wrong. I am a big believer in learning, to me the T8 is precisely what it stands for transport basically speaking it is up to the user to supply their own digital audio converter as to whatever they’re liking may be, in Laymans terms, I have never actually heard any sonic differences from any device that is streaming output, but I have absolutely heard differences and what type or configuration of your preferred digital audio converter, I am in a bit of a rush at the moment just off the top of my head best short explanatory example that I could give presently, thank you for your reply. Have a nice weekend Sorry there, Mr. L Just a little busy at the moment, but from a real quick view, I did not believe you were addressing myself Or at least I don’t believe so
My experience backs it up. It gives you better sound quality. ABX a transport with any combo unit in the price range. Improvements are easy to hear on a revealing, properly set-up system. I believe it shuffles the data along with less added noise, but the why doesn't really matter at all.
Agreed especially using an implementing a system that is totally 100% state of the art SOTA, at this present time, I would be more concerned and interested in discussing and receiving more pertinent information as to a service center and warranty work, And I’m not talking about( ( hypothetically,speaking ) a gentleman in the back of a place called Joe’s discount cigars with a six pack in one hand and a soldering iron in the other hand I have actually, wetness service and repair centers as such believe it or not, Let’s put things in proper perspective first, would you buy a brand new beautiful luxury car and then have to take it to a backstreet Tech for mechanical or electrical warranty repairs I’m 100 % serious, from a technical aspect this would be the last thing I’d be concerned about at this present moment but thank you for your thoughts on varying sound quality from a simple ordinary Stream .im an analog guy at heart , however, I absolutely have heard various differences in overall sound quality from a very high-end dedicated CD transports with various type Dacs of Equal quality, Have a nice week ✌️ ;-)
SOTA is just a marketing thing. It doesn't really mean anything, good or bad. If your system isn't set up so that it is throwing a proper sound stage and a center image, or it has a bottleneck in it that doesn't allow it to reproduce the sound stage or the fine details of the recording, upgrading to a transport is probably not your next step in system upgrades. If you have a few grand in your system, then a transport will make an improvement over an all in one in the same price range....Yeah, technical specs are kind of useless when comparing audio equipment when using said equipment for its intended use. You have a great day as well
yeah yeah, ;-} , no seriously it’s all good like anything else it’s all dependent on how particular you are and how far you want to adjust and take things after 40 years of moving around SPEAKERS that weigh an access of 140 pounds with other adjustments I’m really not worried about it too much at this particular time but you are however somewhat correct have a nice week seriously, however I cannot , fully comprehend how this could alter any sound differences ? On the new T8 , I am no Expert by any means, but cannot comprehend how it will sound any better in t direct comparison to the A8, other than perhaps the type and quality of DAC that you are using, this is a situation that I would be curious to hear for myself, Been their done that, however, correct way back then equipment, standards, and some of these wonderful units. We’re only dreamed about you did bring up an excellent subject for a more in-depth conversation on the technical aspect of specifications and units always left. Open the question but an excellent subject right now speaking for myself at another timeline but seriously, thank you a very interesting topic as most of them are that’s funny I have been using the phrase SOTA , decades before you were born , but that’s not the point it’s all good. I’m just very happy to see the younger guys. I don’t know what generation we are on now XYRZ. But I am very happy and delighted to see the younger generations. Keep up with the rest of the journey thank you, buddy. I would much prefer a dedicated VRDS CD transport only, and clock , with a Rockna wave dream Like the man said this is why I don’t stream, I most certainly had to agree but $$$$, however Teac just released a brand new VRDS VERSION, Transport only< Beautiful, however I still prefer the older unit, ;-) However, when it comes to anything digital, regardless, we all have our own opinions and beliefs. I don’t think or believe that one of them are wrong other than what is factual, proven and related to as such we are all individual’s and have very different preferences and beliefs. Although I may not be in agreement, I respect your opinion as you mine ✌️;-}
I feel you. I really do, believe me. But. Please, don't. Not again with @Milky, it's a complete waste of time. For you, for me, and for the admins... Love, Al.
How did I know Nullnut would be on here harassing after everytime I post? Your prior apologies are meaningless if you keep doing the same exact thing you apologized for doing.
I was not harassing you; I was talking to @Mister L Do not feel involved in any discussion; this ends here, as it was my very first intention..
Yeah you were talking to him about me on public forum =harassment. Could have dm'd him that. Why do you always find the need to comment on all of my posts? If you can't add anything to the conversation, just don't post. It's not hard.
See, you just can't stop can you? You added nothing. When you try to add to the convo it's usually lies. You should just give up, you're not very good at life
Hello everyone, it is approximately 12;30 pm, EST, around lunchtime, would anyone care for a coffee break or perhaps a small sandwich a little snack Or perhaps what we used to call a cigarette break. For about a half hour or so, that would be nice, Huhh ✌️✌️;-) …
✌️ ;-) ✌️ I like that as a matter of fact, I wish I could say the same, I am pretty content here with my Eversolo unit and my other electronics ATM , Noway i’ll only buy more electronics or something in the order that I really don’t need ! ;-) ☮️
We are addicted to gear. Well... ehm... new gear. There's nothing wrong with such an addiction, apart from being potentially expensive, and leading you nowhere, yer know... Now that you remind me of such a thing... by the weekend I'll just step out of my cave and wander around to get me a brand new Raspberry Pi5 to tackle around with my DAC(s). Possibly, in a matter of a month or so, I'd be ready to share some impressions. Meanwhile... say... a virtual cheers to anybody at the bar, now.
