Re: General Discussion about Källa

Many thanks for all the advice. I have ordered an Apple TV 4K and will report back in the future how I am getting on with it. I tried an Apple TV 4K but have returned it to Apple. The main purpose would have been using Sky with it but the resultant picture quality was terrible which Macrotech had r...

Re: General Discussion about Källa

Update on using Sky Go on Apple TV. Sadly, this link https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Go-Apps/Using-Sky-Go-on-Apple-TV/td-p/4116853 indicates that the picture quality via Sky Go on Apple TV is not even full HD most of the time, so you may gain better sound but at the expense of seriously degraded vi...

Re: General Discussion about Källa

Flatcoat - as you have Sky Multiroom , download the Sky Go app onto Apple TV then watch Sky using that. The Sky Q box is not used at all in this configuration. Similarly use Apple TV for all other apps, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Paramount+ etc. Apple TV supplies the picture (which is better qu...

Re: Tundra Mono 3

Re: Streaming service

I had a friend over and we tested qobuz and Spotify against Watch other again. This time it was Jern 12WS Boazu Källa. I wonder why some records are ridiculously better on Spotify. One example is Talk Talk with the opener ‘Happiness is easy’. It is such a big difference. Rickie Lee Jones first reco...

Next is amplifiers! Small pre and Mono power. Been drawing boards all day today (and most evenings since late summer).
Exciting! Too early for more details I expect but I presume you’re aiming to better the Sagatun and Tundra Monos?

Thanks for the update Fredrik. New Tundra mono, very exciting. Better than the old one, or necessitated by component obsolescence?

Well if it isn’t why are are Linn charging 30k for it??
Will the original Klimax DS now be Organik by default and at what price point?

I don’t know why I’m asking this though as I don’t really care. :-)

Re: Recommended network components

If the second Amplifi is next to the HiFi, will the iPad automatically connect to it? Similarly, if the iPad is closer to the router Amplifi, then will it connect to that instead? Since you’re hearing a sound difference, this may be something to be aware of and could be an explanation for some of t...

The article suggests not using in bridge mode might slow the network down, it doesn’t say that this mode of operation is mandatory (the word Matthias uses). I actually want a separate subnet anyway, to completely isolate the system networking from anything else in the house, which may well have its ...

It is working as a router but it needs to get its own IP address when it is fed from the switch in the BT hub.

Re: Recommended network components

Not sure how I would configure the Fritzbox to only work as a modem. You would have to switch off both DHCP server and WiFi, so it doesn't work as a router anymore. You don’t turn off the DHCP server if you connect the Amplifi to a port on the BT Hub like I have to. Otherwise the Amplifi doesn’t ge...

Re: Recommended network components

That’s what Spannko has done isn’t it, apart from possibly the length of cable? Maybe, if this is the case the secret of the musicality of the HD is not the router function per se but a two router config separated by wifi. Which is what I was wondering about as well. Any comments on this from your ...

Re: Recommended network components

The Amplifi HD can work as a switch/WAP type thingy (sorry, I don’t know what it’s called in this mode). That is, installed immediately before the GS108T, being supplied by Ethernet from the ISP router, and working as a local WAP. The change in sound is immediately noticeable: bigger soundstage, cl...
