| Clocking: again! I cannot comment on your specific setup but would advise against your suggested approach: not only will even minute differences in the impedance of the connecting cables create divergences in the clock signal transmission but the method chosen for... | |
| A Second Noise Floor? Better grounding when injected intravenously. (Quite literally) | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Unlike analogue, where any additional device will affect the sound through changing capacitance and impedance effects on the transmitted signal, the signal path of digital requires only avoidance of noise incursion and maintenance of clock accurac... | |
| Check this out. @yuviarora, +1 on the Mad Scientist: his secret solution works! | |

| Check this out. @oldhvymec, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That surely is a world class old f**t comment🤣🤣🤣 | |
| Can it get better? I am going directly from my Antelope Audio Platinum dac into a Wavac EC300b. Good attenuators on the dac obviate the need for a pre. It’s important to understand that a dac’s output only needs attenuation under most scenarios, i.e. the circuitry o... | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good Onti Cat8, large diameter solid core, well shielded with magnesium cast connectiors. A class act for little money | |
| Speaker Bullet Filters @lordmelton Can‘t go wrong with Mundorf! In my case there is real synergy between the Stein capacitors and the Bybee Bullets | |
| Speaker Bullet Filters @larryi, agreed, I mentioned the Stein Music Speaker Match because it adds atmosphere | |
| Speaker Bullet Filters I use Bybee golden goddess speaker bullets and the hash removal and cleaning up of attack and decay they contribute isn‘t small. Equally I use Stein Speakermatch, again with very strong benefit. | |
| AKM makes the best DACs This thread doesn’t make much sense to me: clocking, cables and the DAC’s analogue section are WAY MORE determinant of a dac’s sound than the chips used. The whole debate about R2R, Delta Sigma, FPGA is in my mind and experience equally blown out ... | |
| Streamer Just a bit of cautionary advice: I2S interfaces are not always compatible between different manufacturers as the standard is relatively loosely defined | |
| Streamer InnuOS Zen if you want to also rip your cd collection | |
| Do good power cords have to be stiff? Good power cables are often solid core and hence stiff by nature: to wit: Nordost, Acoustic Revive et al… |
