” The bass response tightened up considerably, and all of the tubby, muddled midbass and vocals were reined in. The highs lost all of the edginess yet remained clear and crisp. The PLAY:5’s bass didn’t extend quite as low as it did out in the open, but that loss is nothing compared to the rest of the performance gains Trueplay brought to that placement. Even knowing what to expect, my eyes simply didn’t believe what my ears were telling me.”

HOW TO NETWORK YOUR MAC MUSIC SYSTEM WITH THE RASPBERRY PI AND HIFIBERRY – PART 1

January 18, 2016 Comments Off on HOW TO NETWORK YOUR MAC MUSIC SYSTEM WITH THE RASPBERRY PI AND HIFIBERRY – PART 1

“The push to finally do something about this came when I was contacted by HiFiBerry, who make a number of add-on audio boards for the Raspberry Pi. They offer a DAC, a digital output board, and a 20W Class D amplifier. Combine one of these boards with a Raspberry Pi and some free or almost-free software, and you can put together a neat little networked audio streamer for a bit over a hundred dollars, and with very good sonic results. I’ve dubbed this whole notion PiFi.”

How Do you Tell The Audio Truth?

“So what do we need for good communication? Well, the first thing you DON’T need is a degree in electrical engineering. And you don’t need an engineering dictionary, either. In order to communicate with people, you need to be able to speak with them (or write to them) in language and in terms that they understand and, for most people, that means the simpler the language, the better. Even well-educated people may not have been educated in engineering or related subjects, and even people with an otherwise great vocabulary may not have a vocabulary that includes technical terms or jargon.”

Zeta Zero Venus Picolla Loudspeakers Review

January 12, 2016 Comments Off on Zeta Zero Venus Picolla Loudspeakers Review

” Passing to David Gilmour’s latest offering, ‘Rattle that Lock’, showed the 12” woofer and ribbons at their very best. I don’t normally like large woofers, preferring a smaller bass or two or more in parallel, but these Carbon fibre bass units are very light, and actually don’t move a great amount, so the sound is still quite quick. From the bird atmosphere at the start of the first track “5 am”, to the bass pizzicatos under the string line followed by the electric guitar, to the broken chords on the acoustic guitar that followed, everything was there, and so very clear.”
