| Class D Technology One of my friends is getting a pair of 48V Desktop Cherrys likely next week. Unless we are in total lockdown, the plan is to try it out at his place, mine and one of our friends in our social bubble. Our friend is running Maggie 20.7s so should b... | |
| Amazon Music - how does it compare??? How have you established that it does not? Is this a bug in the app? What are you using as your process? | |
| Basic technical question about digital source signals I think there would have to be a "theory of digital audio" at least on reconstruction to break it.Of course, it also presumes that the subsequent filters are linear. itsjustme260 posts11-16-2020 9:13amsuch a design decision breaks the theory of di... | |
| Basic technical question about digital source signals You are equating accuracy with preference. That never ends well in the audiophile world. People will make up all kinds of justifications why their preference is "more accurate". But the key phrase here is "make up". Given the number of people who... | |
| Speaker Positioning Most of these 1/3 rules, 1/5 rules, etc. are nothing more than avoidance of room nodes. It's 2020, we don't have to use simple rules any more. They don't account well for room size, aesthetics, etc. When you have simple online tools like amroc... | |
| Speaker Positioning millercarbon6,538 posts11-15-2020 3:30amExact measurements become irrelevant when you don't have a bilaterally symetrical room. What? Since when? Exact measurements become irrelevant when you are deaf in one ear. As long as you have two working... | |
| "New device puts music in your head — no headphones required" Does the phrase "It's just a flesh wound." have meaning to you?Both of these technologies might finally put an end to cable debates. | |

| Basic technical question about digital source signals I was thinking when playing PCM through Sigma Delta but pure DSD path would look steppy but much smaller steps since still discrete in time. | |
| Basic technical question about digital source signals From a practical standpoint, depending on the Reconstruction filter, whether there is one or not, DSD will still stair step because it is reproducing PCM values. | |
| Basic technical question about digital source signals The output of a DAC sans built in filter or external filter will be a stairstep. I can't think of a DAC in audio that is not convert and hold. gs5556, that is a conceptual answer, not the reality of an actual DAC. Not many (any) DAC have an impuls... | |
| Basic technical question about digital source signals Cleeds,In that video, he is showing the output of a DAC with an analog reconstruction filter. It is filtering out the stair-steps. Which goes back to my post, on most DACs, there would be no stair-step evident. On non oversampling DACs or any DAC ... | |
| Power Conditioning / Surge Protection Call me skeptical about the environmental protections products as described. I read the marketing blurb and the patents for the so called "waveform" correction. Their marketing blurb w.r.t. other surge protectors requiring a good ground to work ... | |
| Basic technical question about digital source signals Berner99 on most DACs it would look smooth. There is a trend on most audiophile non oversampling DACs not to have an output filter. Depending on the bandwidth of their analog electronics in those DACs, it would either look much like a staircase or... | |
| Something Actually New/Innovative, In Audio With dweller. Tech has been around for decades. Didn't read far enough to know if it is using distortion in the air or ear to modulate to audible frequencies. Says placed outside the ear so likely air. |
