| New streamer Ultimately from all the above in my mind it all boils down to a simple question: Roon or not. Roon requires more hardware muscle and processing power than other control systems. So depending on the answer either chose a high powered model from Lum... | |
| Power supply poll for Chord Qutest Zerozone on alipay, Kingrex,or with more dosh Keces or Teddy Pardo. | |
| Why are my posts being removed. How about deleting this entire thread, then… | |
| New streamer ifi zen stream with a zerozone power supply on Alipay and keep the change. At $2500 the upgrade will not be significant whatever else you choose | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources @ltmandella If I am not mistaken, you are referring to a problem resulting from ‘capping’ peaks during digital recording leading to distortion during the DA conversion, i.e. not clipping although it resembles audibly. This seems to be yet another ... | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources @ltmandella : care to elaborate? Or point to relevant sources? Pls don’t make unsubstantiated assertions when posting. Thanks. | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources In my read a good DAC analogue stage may only need an additional preamp where switching to analogue sources is required. Absent that the pre adds distortion. thank you to @atmasphere and @erik_squires for explaining an obviously important issue t... | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources Here is @atmasphere on a different thread addressing my topic: “IMO Phillips and Sony made a stupid mistake when they set the Redbook spec to 2V output with digital gear, more than many amps need to overload. I think their reasoning must have bee... | |
| Ipad pro + Ethymotic Er4 SR, brilliant @soix you must be using an older ipad. The ipad pro has usb-c rather than lightning adapters and your part doesn‘t fit. | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources I am on InnuOS Sense feeding into the Antelope Zodiac Platinum DAC and believe I can only use the Sense imbedded attenuator. Any other suggestion? Many thanks for your help, much appreciated! BTW: this subject should find a wider audience. | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources Thank you for this: I am using upsampling, clearly heard clipping like noise and the cure is to lower the output from the server. Learned something new! | |
| Ipad pro + Ethymotic Er4 SR, brilliant I am not using a dongle but just an adapter, no dac in there | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results If I am not mistaken, the analogue section of a DAC amplifies the decoded signal to max preamp level so that there are only two aspects that would warrant a separate preamp: a better analogue design capable of improving on the necessarily compromi... | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade @j_andrews two big add-ons: use a Pinkfaun Isolator into the Pulse and insert a Singxer UIP1 Pro with a decent 6V LPS berween Pulse and Dac; you‘ll be pleasantly surprised. | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade You are right on focussing on the user interface and InnuOS at your price point is the obvious choice |
