| Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you! The quality of toslink nowadays is a direct function of the quality of the server‘s clock since that is what governs what the DAC receives. Small hint: USB based servers don‘t pay much attention to the clocking since in USB it‘s slaved to the DAC. | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality @questforhifi totally agree: a properly tuned Etherregen with clock and LPS and ideally with another Ocxo controlled switch in front of it has little to do with a basic Etherregen with wall wart. Also very important to use the best ethernet cabl... | |
| Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find? I‘ll happily second the OP on ATAudio. Simply high quality at very competitve prices | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results Uptone Etherregen, Lhy Audio SW6 and/or SW10, SoTM, Waversa, Afterdark, Muon, Silent Angel. No lack of choice here. | |
| 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! |
