| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Tony and Luis, can you elaborate on why you purchased your current front ends and what thinking went into that decision? Tony, the Lessloss DAC is well regarded. It is expensive and uses a novel approach that most do not (like the Zardoz). It woul... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Luis and Tony, you are making very good points, but as I said in the review, the computer world is very, very fluid. Things change rapidly. Simply because wireless (or any other format) is not the vanguard does not mean anything in and of itself. ... | |
| Wyetech Jade and TRL Dude I am a Dude owner as well and will add my two cents.Vandermeulen, your comments are helpful and stimulating IMO. It is an argument you hear about audio in general. Distortion is a part of audio whether we like it or not. Bob Smith at SpTech (now A... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Talk to Nugent about his statements about wireless and let us know. I think his words speak for themselves. As you may know, I am a surgeon, researcher, and I am more "demanding" than most. I too have quite a bit of involvement in the computer ind... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport You can ask the same question of USB. It is not univerally applied and many of the designers I have spoken with have a low opinion of it. I think there are a multiplicity of reasons why wireless is not universal most of which have to do with pragm... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport I will get Dan involved. Some of your questions are answered in Nugent's jitter piece. That is why I included it. He addresses the logic behind the potential superiority of wireless. Steve is to me the most erudite dude in the computer arena. He h... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Bravo Tony. I agree 100% with that last paraphrase. You should most definitely visit Don in AZ. He is an awesome dude, is a musician (pianist), and makes incredibly good, "musical" gear. The Marvel chip is where at least some of the magic resides ... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Thanks for the data Tony. I have perused a few discussions on digital processing formats and always came away with the impression that NOS produced a more "analog" sound. For a while, I was looking into both Wavelength and Ultrafi DACs using that ... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport I forwarded Dan your concerns and here is his reply. He had technical difficulties trying to post to this thread, so here is his reply:"Hi Andrew,Sorry to all of you whom have not received answers to your emails. For a time, I had a very aggressiv... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Perrew, the SACD is a "hybrid" meaning it contains 16/44.1 data also and can thus be played on a regular CDP or imported into Itunes. There are apparently programs out there that can manipulate the data within a SACD and potentially be harvested b... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Thanks for the feedback guys.Luis, I respect your audio insight and acumen. You seem to suss out technical issues in real time while the rest of us read about them and then work backwards. In terms of 24/96 vs 24/192 and beyond, Dan and I have not... | |
| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Hi Rohan. That is kool. Thanks for the feedback. I did reference the Marvel chip (just not by name). | |

| Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport Brain fart: I put the wrong URL for Nugent's jitter article. Here is the correct linkhttp://www.enjoythemusic.com/Magazine/manufacture/0509/ | |
