| Softone Model 2 DAC and Model 3 Transport I use the Softone transport but with a Reimyo 777 DAC. the transport is really good in terms of smoothness and it does keep the sound musical. it may not be the best in terms of resolution but for the $1300 you pay for, it has the value for even t... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Hi Al, Cerrot2 days back i tried it with a Ornage link card which apparently uses an NEC shipset. cant really say it was better. my guess is Frewire cards+Laptop isnot good enough from an audio point of view.. | |
| Firewire to SPDIF It just may be a bottleneck. let me try to borrow another card and give it a shot because i got worst results with the built in I-Link in my toshiba laptop | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Yeah :( this weekend I tried out a couple of options with different Firewire cables,better digital cable etc. stillc annot make iot sound as good as my transport..it is the "smoothness' in music which is missing..something which the Trends UD10 do... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF :) BTW instead of using WASAPI you could use the M Audio FW as well to see if that is giving you any improvement.I think the issue could be with the Firewire bus. I tried this out with my toshiba laptop which has a 4 pin firewire out and the sound... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Cerrot,Thanks a lot for the infoI am using a PCMCIA adaptor with 6 pin output. it appears to be thicker and of better quality, but will try the other cable as wellsince a PCMCIA bus does not carry power i am using external power.regarding the sett... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Cerrot,I have finally set up my firewire Solo. is there a breakin period ?Compared to my Classe CDT-1 transport the sound is detailed but seems to have a little less of musicality and sounds a little hard. this was after 30mins of listening to the... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF cerrot, thats really great to hearHave just placed an order for the M Audio and plan to use it via my Monarchy DIP into my Raimyo Dacdo Firewire cable quality matter ?Will let you know about it once i set it up | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Hey thanks for the responses. I use a Reimyo DAC so 24/96 is not really a requirement. I had read in a couple of places that with more than 1 USB devices the quality of audio out can suffer hence the question.Cerrot, How would you rate the M Audio... | |
| Leben CS600 or Almarro a318 for Tannoy TD12? Great !Just do keep in mind that the stock Sovtek 6L6GS are a bit bright with a slight edge to the midrange..although it is highly detailed.with a Winged C gL6GC the sounds mellows down a quite abit..while with an EL34 it will make the Midrange mu... | |
| Sub for Merlin TSM-MX's The reason I asked the question was, I did find a Sub useful when I used to run my merlins with a sugden A21, but the moment i upgraded my amp to a leben CS600, the bass just improved and I did not need it anymore.But if a sub is needed i would re... | |
| Sub for Merlin TSM-MX's What Amp do you use to run the speakers ? I use TSM MMe's in a 14X11 room with a CS-600 amp and the bass is very articulate and with good SPL (Except for low stuff like Organ music). it could be an Amp synergy or placement thing as well...in fact ... | |
| Understanding Jitter in PC Audio Steve,thanks a lot for that very informative post. Ill need to read it a couple of time more to get it all but I think the core of the issue has been very well explained.It nice to know that the clock can be recovered and corrected as long as the ... | |
| Understanding Jitter in PC Audio Thanks Shadorne and Detlof, I already use a Reimyo DAP777 as my DAC.So if the lossless file is going to be Clocked by either the DAC or by the Clock of the USB to SPDIF converter, it becomes very important that the clock input to the DAC is excell... | |
| What amp should be used with merlin vsm's? From what I hear, the first choice should be the Ars filarmonia ..I think there is one on sale now with some addonsI use a leben cs-600 with my TSMs and they are mindblowing. with 6L6GC tubes there is no shortage of punch or power and its highly r... |
