Sending music to DAC wireless vs wired

Drop outs are a different issue than sound quality. For sound quality, wireless is superior as Juanitox has stated.

hi , the fact is the stock airport express is very good but not as big Cd palyer or Drive , the reasons is , poor and noisy power supply , bad signal routing, bad ceramics caps on sensitive place and usual cheap clock.

what "Dan" do ( the more i know) is to put a double regulated and filtering power supply, rerouting signal on the airport express, add silver wires and lunndhal transfo for the digital out , a external superclock with it's own power supply, uppgraded caps on the airport card. ..
it is so good that i no longuer use an external dac with it .. ( my past dacs and CD players were Pass Labs moded D1, audio aero 24/192MKII and wadia 860X)
i have not the english words for describe the sound of the Zardoz but just ine word " Musicality"
i have two things that i will not change in my system, my SP tech timepiece 3.0 speaker and my moded airport express ZARDOZ.

cheers..

Hi Juanitox,

I believe you are called "CaptainCaverne" in France? If so, and if I understand correctly, you have used an Empirical USB/SPDIF converter before.

Are you saying that the Zardoz (via analog out) is better than a PC + Off Ramp + Pass Dac ???

Thanks.

Yes you are right my nickname in France is captaincaveman.
and yes i have used my D1 dac with many kind of PC drive , waterminal U24, OFFRAMP turbo, moded squeeze box, and the best drive i ve found was this moded airport express.. but from the day i have tried the analog out of the Zardoz , i have sold my PASS D1 dac and no longer need anything else ..

the sound is simply more natural with the Zardoz alone...

Interesting ...
Do you know if any Zardoz (or Roseta sp?) can be demoed in Paris? I have a short trip to Paris in September.

Thanks for your input.
