A friend has a the O/96 powered by a SET. Sounds really effortless and is incredibly nice with vocal music. It's very neutral without sounding analytical. Not the most extended at both ends however.

NVIDIA driver has serious overhead and needs loads of cpu grunt in dx12. At 1080p the card is hitting this driver wall. What CPU are you using?

@Black_Hawk Congrats on new gear. The headphone amp in that marantz amp is pretty damn good. Do try it out. I have the previous gen 5004 in my bedroom setup and it sounds very good.

Mk2

Look for a solution like TPlink Omada or Ubiquiti Unifi. These are the best bets!

CR4 is okay only for casual listening. The MR 524/624 is where the fun begins. They are super for the money. Heard the lsr 305P and found it to be way too bright for my taste.

Mains from Flipkart, sub from Amazon. CR4 from amazon. Finally all of them come from the distributor in Chennai called sonotone.

PC1 - Mackie MR624 pair + MRS10 sub PC2 - Mackie CR4

Funnily enough asrock seems to have the best Radeon PCB this gen.

If bill is not shown, it's all bluff.

Pure stereo only. I have the usual audiophile speakers right now - a pair of Usher Be718 bookshelves and a McCormack phono+preamp+Poweramp stack. This will stay and I might convert this to HT. The reason I want monitors is because they seem to sound far more accurate than similarly priced home...

I am based in Bangalore but am a bong :). My new house is still under construction - will be done by year end. This setup will be in my den/music room/ht room. KH 310 is the much revered model everywhere and people seem to pair it with a KH750 sub. That is an option as well. However the local...

Compared to the actives I suggested, aria will suck bigtime So who has experiences with high end monitors here? Looking to choose between the following. Any experience/comments welcome! Focal Trio 11 be Neumann KH 420 Genelec 8361A ATC SCM 100ASL Kii Audio III Barefoot footprint 01 Room is...

Look for an Aune or Shanling/Topping based on DAC/amp in your budget. Aune X1S Pro seems like a good bet. Sells for 18k on headphonezone.

Haven't used this but have used other smsl products (specifically the m8) and they are trash tier IMHO. They sound absolutely pathetic with no refinement. This particular dac uses a DIR9001 receiver which is a pretty sad excuse for a usb receiver these days. It doesn't even support asynchronous...

Honestly the best person to give advice on this is @bottle but he doesn't frequent the forums that much these days. He has the predecessor - GS10 for a long time. My limited listening to MA is that they are extremely forward sounding, extremely detailed but lack the mid range warmth and...

Was referring to the microatx version. Someone has already shared the same down below. It's aesthetically a much nicer looking case. If budget can be extended, even the FD Define C mini (or its corresponding newer model) is a great case. I have a Define C mini for my linux PC and it is fabulous.

Buy the Fara instead. Better build quality!

It's your life and your money - decide on what you wish to do. Covid won't go away so easily. Also do understand that 80% of airline revenue comes from business travel. Businesses have been running just fine without any travel since March2020 and are in fact growing during the pandemic. There is...
