My presentation at the Noir & Blanc Brussels Hifi Show 2022

The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel 2022-11-11 | What kind of streamers are there and why do digital audio equipment differ in audio quality. A registration of my presentation during the Noir & Blanc Brussels Hifi Show 2022
November 5th and 6th my colleague Jaap Veenstra of Aplha-Audio.net and myself were asked to do a presentation on the Noir & Blanc Brussels Hifi Show 2022. I was already asked if a video registration of my presentation would become available. I didn’t expect it to be registered but Jaap was so kind to register and edit not only his very interesting presentation on networks for audio, but also my presentation. A link to his presentation is in the top right corner, at the end of this video and in the show notes. We had to work in a rather noisy hall so I am slightly less focussed than normal. Enjoy.

Dynaudio Focus 10 active streaming speakers with DIRAC

The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel 2022-11-04 | The most universal wireless active Dirac enabled speakers around

Real wireless speakers are very limited in quality since they need to be battery powered. Better ones, like the Dynaudio Focus 10 on review here, do need a mains cable. But since most homes have mains outlets all around the place, that’s no problem. All audio connections can be done wireless….

Programma Auditorium Dutch Audio Event 2022 (Dutch only)

The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel 2022-10-06 | Zaterdag 8 oktober

Om 12:00 begint het met live muziek: Cousin Hatfield, een band die bestaat uit Nathalie Schaap, Jos van Ringen en Mark Schimmel.

Kwart voor een volgt mijn lezing met als titel: Streaming Audio; en alles wat je nog niet wist. Streamer, DLNA, Roon, Network Bridge, Streaming DAC’s en zo voort; netwerk-audio: het lijkt zo ingewikkeld. Er zijn echter geen geheimen, alleen dingen die je misschien nog niet weet.

Om half twee weer een optreden van Cousin Hatfield.

Om kwart over twee een herhaling van mijn lezing

Om drie uur het laatste optreden van Cousin Hatfield en

Om half vier een lezing van Eelco Grimm met als titel: Observaties over lagefrequent-weergave in luisterruimtes. Eelco is niet alleen een van de oprichters van Grimm Audio, hij is ook onderzoeker en docent aan de Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht waar hij Muziek & Technologie doceert. Hij is onlangs door de Audio Engineering Society een AES Fellowship Award toegekend voor zijn werk aan standaards voor luidheidsnormalisatie. Een aanrader dus.

Zondag 9 oktober

Ook deze dag begint met muziek. Om 12 uur start het Ensemble Ferme Celli, vier cello’s gespeeld door Frank Wakelkamp, Rosalie Ivanov-Seinstra, Marjan van Randeraat en Sanne de Graaf.

How a remote control can save your stereo

The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel 2022-07-29 | Both audiophiles and manufacturers of audiophile equipment often lack interest to integrate an audiophile setup in the family home. Isn’t it time for a change?

About my reference setups, July 2022

The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel 2022-07-22 | When I started this series I didn’t think I would make so many of them. The idea was to have a video containing my three reference setups as a reference for you. I think - and hope - that this is the last one for the kitty is truly empty and to be honest, with three main setups and two of them having two variants both monetary and physical space have reached their limits.
