| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" I think you know as I do mahgister how silly youtube videos are like this. The echo in the original track is intentional, it is part of the recording, though I believe there is a bit of evidence of additional room reflections where the microphone... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? For a DAC manufacturer to add a fully isolated data interface to carry audio, let's say 32/784 to cover all possible cases, we are talking <$10 in volume, perhaps $25-50 for a low volume manufacturer and I am being pretty generous.Your analysis... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Do you really take your hat off for this? I suspect the sound you are attempting to achieve is nothing like what was originally played. Vinyl most definitely is not "true to the source". Boring, technically accurate, digital is. You may not like i... | |
| Ceramic fuses I try not to use such terms cal91, but I am sure I have done it before, and given the abuse that one gets here, I am pretty certain I would have thrown that back at someone.However, what I will bring up is expectation bias, sighted bias, etc. as I... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Except those are not minor changes. They are significant changes in the digital reconstruction filters that have direct impacts on the output. They are intentional modifications of the signal. There was a time when people doubted that minor firmwa... | |
| I'm pretty excited about my new room i'm building Sounds wonderful oleschool. My wife loves the sauna. I am more a hot tub person myself. Do you have a system in there?We used to have a cedar log home. We miss it, though this time I think we would go pine for the thickness.oleschool OP710 posts1... | |
| Ceramic fuses However, if it is okay for people to promote nonsense that will never pass anything related to a controlled listening test, and never has in my experience, then you shouldn’t have a problem with me pointing out that these things never pass contro... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Because it is not just a nice idea in theory, it is factual in practice. With asynchronous USB, there is absolutely no timing data incorporated in the data stream. None, zip, nada, 0. It is not a matter of resolving arrival timing errors .... the... | |
| Ceramic fuses The harm is they convince others with less financial resources that their route to audio nirvana is through the things less likely to achieve that. The view of the audiophile as a rich old guy with excessive disposable income is often not the case... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? This article was written in 2014, long after asynchronous USB was dominant for DACs and jitter on USB became meaningless, not to mention bit errors are extremely low.https://darko.audio/2014/12/global-feedback-can-ethernet-cables-make-a-difference... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Still smiling and laughing thyname, I've positively influenced your music, all Darko has done is influence the lightness of your pocketbook and made you envious. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I don't have to know Mr Darko personally to know that the claims he makes and the things he says are factually wrong and that they reveal that he is technically illiterate on many of the things he claims to be somewhat of an expert on.I think if y... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I would insult you back @Thyname, but you seem like a sad, lonely person, and since this is the holidays, I figure you have enough to deal with already.I already pointed to one thing, I was on the committee for the original AES67 (2013), something... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Pretty much always, but room correction generally only corrects total energy, and some timing with good bass management, but cannot account for things like strong reflections, non symmetry, etc. It's best to use acoustic treatments and placement... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Not sure you were trying to insult me here, but when Mark Twain wrote this, he was not talking about people like me, but about people convinced about things like the the earth being flat, or the virus is a hoax, or that fuses make a dramatic diffe... |
