| The character of analog and digital @sns, +1, digital doesn’t have the euphonic distortions typical of vinyl but can sound harsh when poorly implemented. I’d also generally recommend valve amplification with digital with its more benign higher harmonics distortions compared to sili... | |
| DACs that do well without a preamp Find a used Antelope Zodiac Gold or Platinum. They are superb | |
| Mutec MC 3+ and CTronic After Dark Clock @rodge827 Wordclocks run at speeds of typically 40-48kHz. Masterclocks such as the ones you mention run at 10mHz, devices with wordclock inputs therefore generally need devices such as the Mutec MC3+. The latter‘s performance can be further impr... | |
| Mutec MC 3+ and CTronic After Dark Clock The Mutec is a wordclock operating at lower rates than the After Dark 10m clock. The After Dark clock further improves the Mutec MC 3+ Mutec have their own much more expensive offering of a 10m clock for that purpose | |
| The character of analog and digital @mikelavigne far away from wanting to prove you wrong! I am just pointing out that digital would have to have a fundamental problem yet to be identified to be eternally inferior to vinyl. Enjoy the music. | |
| The character of analog and digital @mikelavigne , your postulate of asymptotical closing of the gap between vinyl and digital seems counterfactual: vinyl suffers from distortions simply not present in digital, e.g. tracking angle on conventional tone arms, warp and flutter dependi... | |
| The character of analog and digital @lalitk +1, well said. | |
| The character of analog and digital @millercarbon Welcome back! Shouldn’t we compare recent releases of digital and vinyl rather than waxing lyrical about 70 year old recordings where the digital release is cheap and cheerful mastering because you otherwise can’t make money on it... | |
| Time-Phase-Alignment- Point Source-Classical Musicians Duevel Bella Luna: 2way point source with Omni dispersion. Wonderful. | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply If you decide to upgrade your DAC’s power supply do yourself a favour and also upgrade the 5V USB line on a separate rail. You’ll be pleasantly surprised | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Add to Charles Hansen’s list the quality of the USB implementation. While asynchronous USB can be the preferred connection, much depends on the RMI/EFI rejection of the USB port. And not to forget: the clocking accuracy of the USB connection. If I... | |
| Parity A well set up vinyl system has euphonic distortions that are pleasant to the human ear. There is no conceivable scenario where vinyl has less distortions than hi res digital. That said, digital for this very reason may sound ‘harsher’ and less ple... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts One more thought: keep measuring the wrong thing and the earth stays flat | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Come on children, all together now:’ We all live in a yellow submarine…’ | |
| Upgrading power system Consider adding an Add Powr Symphony or Symphony Pro particularly near your digital power supplies. You‘ll be very pleasantly surprised |
