Re: 432 EVO High End Reference Music Server - Soothing Vinyl Sound via 432 Hz Processing

Thank you for the review Juan especially on the perspective of the 432 tuning. Could you clarify a couple of things:

1) You were streaming USB out from NUC and the 432 EVO to your DAC, correct?

2) When you were finally able to find the correct USB output on the 432 EVO, was it better than streaming from your NUC? How do they both compare? You wrote a post on Facebook that said the following in reply to a user:

All this said, I had the input of a computer engineer who built his own DACs encourage me to go the route of having a simple computer server linked up to the Yggdrasil for excellent results. And he was right. Save for the tuning and DSP, the Intel NUC with a great DAC like the Yggie is quite competitive.

Ed, on option #2 (side walls), would the subs face towards the middle, or towards the listening position on the back?

Peter,

How does this compare to Schiit Asgard?

Also, it looks like an Audeze Deckard. Any relationship to that?

Install has started in DC metro area, including N. Va areas with Comcast. As far as I know, they are piggy backing on Comcast lines. I have yet to know somebody who has them installed. I am very curious though...

I got the following reply from Apple/Beats when I reached out to them: "Beats Music subscribers will get a 3 month trial to Apple Music to take advantage of all the great features and expanded catalog."

MS = short for "MarketSmith". I was talking about your "screen name" for your marketsmith account, the one on "community" pages. I can add you in my contacts, and share my custom screens with you.

More than happy to share my screens. Did you mean at comcast dot net for your email address? The easier way is via "sharing" tool on MS. What is your user name there?

You are exactly right, and I totally understand you pointing out "so I sometimes get caught between timeframes, if that makes sense". It does make sense and I often struggle with the timeframes.
