| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? Overdrive transistor output sounds like a clean, fast tube. My last DAC had tube output. This is better.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |

| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio My room is specially designed and treated. However, it does not require anything special in the room to hear the difference between 20psec of jitter and 7psec of jitter. It only requires a system with a really low noise floor and low distortion, s... | |
| Sound quality improvement via simple “isolation” Ask your TV provider for a better updated cable box. Get one with DVR. | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio Not saying many old/new DACs have great jitter suppression, but most modern ones do reduce it better than CD quality.CD quality (from a CD player) is a low-bar for me. My digital is much better than that. There is no way that I would have gotten... | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio Can the Sychro-mesh be used in HK where the voltage is 220V and not the 110V as in the US. Also since I already have high quality Coax and Toslink now (connecting my Oppo and TV to the Auralic DAC), I will only need a Coax cable to connect the Syn... | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio BS. There is a LOT of jitter in all digital sources and reclockers work wonders.J-Test should not be used for measuring such devices. The jitter measurement should be direct, with no DAC involved. I will post those measurements later.Steve N.Emp... | |
| Sound quality improvement via simple “isolation” You will get better SQ using the Toslink optical cable to a reclocker and then BNC coax to your Oppo.You should be using a Jensen transformer isolator in the coax cable feeding your cable box already.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio My question is that if I anyways have only a 2-channel music system set-up through which my TV sound plays, does it matter whether I use the optical out from my TV or the more advanced HDMI ARC?The Toslink optical output will be better than the HD... | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio If you want to use your DAC and 2-channel system for TV/Internet movies, then you are stuck with 2-channel. You can set the optical output from the TV to PCM 2-channel in the setup menu. In this case, I would highly recommend reclocking the optica... | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money With a reclocker like the Synchro-Mesh, you don't need an expensive transport. Even a Sonos sounds incredible. A smarter way to spend your money. 7psec of direct-measured jitter. Unmatched.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Help or suggestions how to setup run JRivers media from my computer This will be your cheapest option, unless you can find one used on Audiogon:http://www.sonore.us/microRendu.html Steve N. | |
| Sticking with CD's for now This will be your cheapest option, unless you can find one used on Audiogon:http://www.sonore.us/microRendu.html Steve N. | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice There is nothing wrong with Sonos, as long as it's reclocked with a Synchro-Mesh. Customers tell me that the SQ is as good as it gets and hi-rez doesn't matter.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Help or suggestions how to setup run JRivers media from my computer Raspberry Pi has USB outputs, so I believe it will work. Never tried this though.Steve N. |
