| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Sorry boys, the audio emperor has no clothes at least in this domain. The shear variability in end user response speaks to that. Steve, your hypothesis is just that. I have read verbiage from computer scientists who say any perceived differences b... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house If you do blinded A+B testing of non-audiophiles (or audiophiles) in a "revealing" system, the results will be a mosh pit of confusion. Sorry folks, placebo effect here. Steve, I am open to hearing a technical dissertation or associated measuremen... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Regarding AIFF vs WAV, some folks hear a difference and some don't: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f8-general-forum/wav-vs-aiff-3239/It may depend partly on software and relevant settings.... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Mitch2, that is good counsel.Bill, computers are indeed a pain. I have done WAV and AIFF comparisons and did not hear any differences. There should not be. Ask Steve Nugent about that one before converting all your files.... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Bill, that's great news and not surprising. Steve makes great and efficacious stuff. That is one of the reasons why I have argued for the use of a pure, digital transport that includes signal reclocking. A lot of people (including you!) have argue... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Bill, the Thor stuff is awesome to look at as well. Bravo.... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house rave report please. AC is down, and there are some vagaries on Nervosa.... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house It's my choice certainly in regards to what I find appealing, we're talking cosmetics aren't we.Are we still talking boobs here (shame on you Glory)? If we are, a pornographic aesthetic references an object whereas a true aesthetic encompasses the... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Gary, I knew you would appreciate that....yuk, yuk...With audio sound as well as women, I prefer natural to artificial if given the choice.Common male misperception. Its not your "choice" at all. So Charles, if the choice were truly yours, you wou... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house The L5 has bigger breasts but they hang and sag where the L4 has smaller athletic breasts made for road running. What level do you want??I could modify either.... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Shawbros3, that's a grand idea. Enough audio blah blah.For what it's worth, I will be using both a transport and a mini with my L5. A transport for redbook and a mini for hi rez/DSD (out of necessity). I will be looking at a dbsystems mini which i... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Talk to Rob Reich Sgr. He had a modded mini and now has a transport. No contest according to him. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house MM is better!!read ze question. with or without ps? Also, you went from "Redbook being better than or equivalent to hi rez" to "I can only listen do DSD" minus the transport. Very telling.Abruce and Mitch, the primary difference (from what I have ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Bill, amongst mini-heads, people argue about whether they even make a difference. One camp says an external supply on an 09 is the way (Empirical Audio). Others say a 2011 or newer mini with no supply is comparable (Tranquility sac). Both camps ar... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house What it does to Redbook negates any need for hi Rez offeringsand People who have one say they dont care about HiRez anymore as its sounds so good on RBCDThat is "la raison d'être" for any digital transport IMO. 99% of most music libraries are Red... |
