| Native High-Resolution versus Red Book Standard Audio: A Perceptual Discrimination Survey Tim,No you are mistaken, Waldrep has used his own 96/24 recordings not analogue stuff and created 44.1/16 versions as well for people to download and compare. He is trusting that no-one is using analysis tools to view the files to cheat. For the r... | |
| Dac Technology Mature? As digital music playback starts with a PCM or DSD 'blueprint' (of varying sample rates and bit depths) of a load of electrical signals that are the building blocks of this thing called music then the DAC is a rather important part of the picture ... | |
| New to HiFi, need digital advice. Bitperfect for 9.99 is a decent upgrade to iTunes but check it will run on your old iMac. | |
| Why is Oppo stopping products. File based audio/video is the way to go whether downloaded or streamed. Less plastic, cardboard, transportation & delivery - stuff we just don't need in this world. These universal blu-ray players are the best and simplest audio/visual proces... | |
| Newer cars without cd players-what now? A head unit you can just download a load of music into? - no phones, usb sticks, DAP's or discs needed, it's all ready to go on board - does this exist? | |
| DAC trends.. Thanks jim204 . I know the DSD vs PCM question is tired to put it politely but I think it's worth revisiting particularly in the light of more and more DAC's becoming available with differing configurations. I suspect true, native, unadulterated (... | |
| Newer cars without cd players-what now? Buy a decent little digital portable player and just AUX it into the head unit? I've got a Cowon Plenue D, 32 GB internal storage so plenty enough and handles all formats in PCM. I play all my CD's ripped to AIFF as I'm an Apple user but you've go... | |
| CDs Vs LPs Niether. I want everything as digital files at least 352.8PCM or DSD 256 and 5.1 multichannel or I'm going to watch TV instead. This comment isn't meant to be entirely humorous. | |
| OPPO or Something Else? Seems the main aim with the Oppo 205 is the Sabre DAC and its superior analog output so using it as a transport especially at its price seems a bit daft? | |
| Delta Sigma DACs I think Sony are still twitchy about DSD digital output from SACD and where it goes, I don't think there are many AVR's with HDMI that can handle DSD without converting (my Cambridge CXR doesn't) I think we're both fine letting the CXU do the job.... | |
| Delta Sigma DACs Shame it doesn't have HDMI then you could try DSD from your SACD's? | |
| Delta Sigma DACs Oh - how do you hook up the Benchmark to the CXU?Cheers. | |
| Delta Sigma DACs Hi Cheeg, no I haven't used an external DAC with the CXU, infact I use it as a DAC for a Virgin Tivo box (HDMI) and my old MacBook (optical) for playing mainly ripped CD's and other files. It does this and plays SACD, DVD Audio and Blu-ray discs p... | |
| Delta Sigma DACs Hi Cheeg, I'm a CXU owner....The CXU plays the CD or SACD layer on a hybrid SACD (two or multichannel) you have to decide which in the audio set up menu - also make sure you set it to 'PCM' and NOT 'auto' or 'DSD' - 'auto' seems to cause a delay ... |
