Why after you ripped the cd on ssd you also went into the library and add it?
How to connect to speakers or can you show a diagram of connections ?
Very good video my friend! not many videos on youtube about HQPlayer... Could you please share your PC´s info (RAM/CPU/GPU), to be able to apply the suggested "Synergies" (AMSDM7EC 512fs+poly-sinc-gauss-xla@512) one must have a powerfull machine indeed, right?. Thnx!
Hi all, I am going to buy a A6 Master and insert a SSD into it, my question is if I put it inside the A6 first and let's it format the SSD, can I pull it out later and connect it with my PC where all my albums are there, after the copy and paste, will it work if I insert it back to A6? Thanks
Yes it works, no issues. I would straightaway use it on Pc to format and add music then move to A6
1400w 😂
'Promo SM' ☺️
Hi Sir, Could you please share details about the hifi rack?
Hello, the rack is from SoundFoundations. soundfoundations.in/hifi-av-equipment-racks/
Thanks for the reply @@HiFi_Paradise
You did a very good comparison here. It is good how you did a more quick A/B comparison between the two classes. Very revealing. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
thank you
Nice and informative video. I have the same set up.Tidal connect update released???
Thanks Yes, try it out.
@@HiFi_Paradise Thanks for your response. Can you give Tidal connect software update link?
If i could offer an enhancement, i don't understand why you cut out pairs 1&2 (blue and orange)? As another commenter had suggested, i would have used a seperate cable for left and right to eliminate the possibility of remaining capacitance (cross-talk). In doing so, i would suggest using all conductors from pairs 1&2 as positive (center) and all of the conductors from pairs 3&4 (green and brown) connected to the shield or negative. This could also give your terminations and shrink tube a more finished look and the cables slightly better power handling capabilities. Another option is to use RG6 with compression type RCA connectors or F-type connectors with screw in RCA connectors for really clean sound (and a ground if available).
thanks
thanks for the video. Those connectors are 3.5?. What brand do you recommend for connectors?
Use any decent brand
Thanks, for option 3, do I need to buy amazon echo device or can I just add the denon avr using only the alexa app? I am able to add the denon avr to my alexa but alexa app is failing to recognize it as a device and keep saying its offline.
You will need a echo device
thanks for your video. I didn't see cables or connections. It doesn't come with them?... If so, what brand and reference do you recommend?
No cables, you can buy any speaker cable which suits you to start off. Would recommend Belden 8477
Thanks a lot for the guide - helped me a lot... Sadly, I don't have a NAA compatible DAC, and I don't want to move my Roon core into my audio listening room, but at least I understand now that HQPlayer isn't for me, unless I find an NAA to RAAT converter or somehow make my DAC NAA compatible (maybe with a RasPi?) :-(
Thank you, 🙏🏼 You can try a Raspberry Pi based Endpoint
@@HiFi_Paradise Thanks I will look into that.
Which computer is best for handling DSD algorithms? I’m thinking MacBook Pro M3…but is 18Gb RAM enough?
For PCM it would be enough, but for DSD it is advised to use a Nvidia GPU
I have the same preamp. It’s fantastic for the price. Your setup video is great 👍🏼. I love that box. Can you give the link from where you purchased the metal box
Yes, this is excellent for the price. It was made by a friend
Nice setup! What amp did you use with the lintons?
Thank you, I have used many but good pairings include Audiolab 6000a, 7000a, Willsenston R8
hifi paradise 404
for?
how is its coaxial out (to connect other dacs) ? Clean, Uncoloured? i have a wiim pro plus, i found (by comparing to my marantz AVR with audiolab 6000a) its coaxial out is adding some colours (warm, slightly rolled off highs). I am looking at new streamer - may be IFI zen stream or this dmp a6. Is it wise to invest so much in eversolo if i always use it as digital transport?
Look at the features on offer and what all will you be using. Eversolo is a great device and one of the best streamers under $1000. You cannot compare AvR as it would use its DSP to color sound, Wiim Pro is really good. I would say stick with Wiim pro and audiolab, I have used this combo alot, and it sounds great. The coloration could be your speakers too
@@HiFi_Paradise Thank you!
Brother, I have installed lineage OS 21 on raspberry pi 5 . Even I have changed audio output settings from hdmi to dac but no sound.
please check out forums onljne
hello …. very good video… I wanted to know if it plays Dolby Atmos format from Apple Music or Tidal. Greetings from 🇨🇱
Sadly no
thank for you
FFS! Cut your nails!
Great job, thank you!
Very Informative video about the show ..clearly I missed a Good show , Thank you !!
Welcome Sir, it was a good show. It was a must visit now
@@HiFi_Paradise Next time for sure !
It's good to have lineage OS or volumio OS ; only for streaming Audio?
Volumio
Brother, how about the music sound quality between the raspberry pi runs with lineage OS and volumio OS?
Volumio
I have a 20 year old SACD player I use as a transport. Can I rip CDs over COAX? Otherwise, I'll have to get one of these small USB CD players.
not possible, needs a USB CD Player
@HiFi_Paradise Thanks for the reply. Can you rip SACDs? I know, that's a doozy.
No sadly, only normal Audio CDs
With Audio please...can't get exactly what you are doing
Thanks for this. I just purchased Willsenton R8, Eversolo A6 Master Edition streamer, and Dali Oberon speakers after many years away from audiophile hobby. My next upgrade will definately be the tubes.
Congratulations The combo sounds really good and go for EL34 tubes if you can.
I have a marantz pm8006. I plan on getting the dual mono o&b power amp with the 8006 as a pre Any thoughts on this pairing since you have the marantz and o&b audio amps
The marantz 8006 works better as an integrated unit. Marantz pre is ok, but will get your job done. Get a tube pre tp pair with O&B, they sound really good!
The flash for my A26 from 1.4 to 1.43 failed. Can this be resolved? Now BubbleBNP can't find my A26 anymore :( Luckily still works fine as DAC
Did you use the right firmware for A26 Reflash the device
@HiFi Paradise, thx for the video. Does A26 run smooth and stable with Roon?
Yes, definitely do give it a try
@@HiFi_Paradise I've bought A26, but got a problem. When I'm playing files 16bit 44.1khz via Roon - I can hear noise, the best way to hear it - put amp volume to 0 and I hear this noise, but in the same time when I'm playing file 96khz or 192khz - there is no any noise. And when Ipaused playback - there is no noise... Maybe someone already met with this problem? Any suggestions? PS I think R26 and A26 share the same platform for working with Roon...
Narration would help but I guess it’s beyond your budget.
sadly yes 🙃
I can not here demo sound !? Why
copyright protection sorry
Can still vividly remember my getting first pair (used mk2s) and second pair (new mk5s) it was very exciting both times. I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of your 3d! Btw, tracking force for that cart is only 2g, well 1.8 to 2.2 specifically.
thank you for your kind words, this TT is serving me quite well, one of my best purchases. Have kept the Tracking force 2g after moving to a new AT cart
Sold your Eversolo?
no
The screen of your PC is too bright: you can see absolutely nothing. Another useless video. Thumbs down.
Can it play cassette players, and record from cassette deck via eversolo?
no
So anyone know of a usb drive that plays sacd and dvd audio?
not possible
What is the song that starts your video?
Dude!.. Speaker Cables.. what cables do you have connected ..it don't look to good from here???
Belden 8477
Great work bro 😁👍
The rh and lh should be in their own sheathing or be their own separate channel wires. With all of the conductors for both channels being in the same sheathing increases the capacitance. You don't want that. The whole idea of using CAT5 wire is to decrease capacitance.
Does HQPlayer make a significant audible difference to sound?
Yes but it costs you money. So you get what you pay for.
yes, but you also need a good pc and a NOS dac
Hi, Is there a way to upsample Apple Music OR Tidal with HQPlayer and then feed the R26? Or will some other device be needed
HQ player does all the Upsampling itself. It needs only a clear signal and then you have showtime.
No Apple Music,
Oh you use the Audiolab 7000a as a preamp nice
I used to use it, then I got a nice phono now
I see you have two of the amps I am considering which do you like more the Audiolab 6000a Play or the Willsenten R8
Hi Buddy, I sold the 6000a but its a good all in one device and with the right discounts its a good amp. But I absolutely love the Willsenton R8 for the sound. Its a keeper
Placing your tiny screw on the carpet is life on the edge. Glad you found it.
😂😂😂😂
Wish I could update my R26 with my Mac as I am not a pc guy. Just seems silly Gustard does not have that option!
yeah
