| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection May I suggest you try the USB connection? Properly implemented asynchronous USB has the advantage of using the Dac’s clock on the streamer, I.e. the dac times the arrival of data rather than having to buffer and decode the embedded clock signal. I... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? In terms of engineering brilliance and sheer transparency, timbre and attack Nobu Shishido’s Wavac designs are unequalled in my mind | |
| When were the best tube amps made? and an honorable mention to the OTL crowd: Futterman, Graaf, Ralph Carsten and Dave Berning | |
| When were the best tube amps made? The best amps were made when Japanese thoroughness joined American ingenuity: think Wavac, Shindo, Yamamoto, Kondo and nowadays Allnic, Zanden and Luxman | |
| The best plug in filter ever! This looks similar to Add Powr’s Eau2 or Eau4 as well as Stein Music’s Quantum5 | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @8th-note my streaming sounds better than my InnuOS Zenith Mk3 SSD. That may be a function of ripping. | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @8th-note I went from a substantially tricked out Mac Mini to an InnuOS Zenith Mk3 and the difference wasn’t small. Digital audio is all about power supplies and superior clocking. Can you try and run your computer from an audiograde LPS? Altern... | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @anzaanimalclinic +1, Etherregen also loves a good external clock | |
| Uptone EtherRegen The Er is wonderful, it gets even better with a fine LPS and a good master clock. | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @soix +1 he has been doing it for a long time and is notorious for it. | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? Look at Akiko Audio line products before spending megabucks on a PC. Cleaning up the junction box and ground has bigger payoffs | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @ticat +1, splitting my sides laughing… | |
| Allnic tube dac Has it occured that I am not discussing a power amplifier on this thread? Doh! | |
| Allnic tube dac @pindac I assume you refer to Jules Futterman designs which indeed sometimes did their contribution to heating the room. In any case, I ran a Graaf GM20 OTL for many years without even a valve blowing up, never mind the amp, before shifting to m... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience yet another very dogmatic thread, this. If SUTs are evil, why do designers like Ortofon, Yamamoto, shindo et al use them rather than active circuits? Surely there are many ways to Rome and implementation matters. |
