| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Wshields - This is the type of solution that audiophiles should be looking for. Strategies like this (similar to my Pace-Car) are the best way to reduce jitter to inaudible levels.Unfortunately, the Transporter is a bit expensive and overkill just... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Essentialaudio - definitely stop in. We are fortunate every year that our sound improves and this year is no exception. A "must-hear".Steve N. | |
| Mac vs. PC differences to Airport Express? Juanitox - you dont have to trust me, although I wish you would.I rely mostly on posts on the forums - customer feedbacks for advertising. I sell all of my products word-of-mouth. No advertising to speak-of. My advertising budget for the year is a... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Essentialaudio - If you will be at CES or THE Show next month, I'll challenge you to a shootout. Bring your best Transport and then we will see...St. Tropez suite 1203Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Mac vs. PC differences to Airport Express? TomEdison - the Modded DAC-1 would probably be more smooth and listenable IMO.Most unmodded gear has sibilance as well as jitter. Eliminating the sibilance is probably more important than reducing the jitter. However, both are needed to achieve a ... | |
| Mac vs. PC differences to Airport Express? Kana13 - you've got to be joking right?This will never compete with a Pace-Car. I dont care how good the clock is. I also do a mod to the AE called the Off-Ramp Wi-Fi. Same thing as the French company, new clock, new power supply, new S/PDIF outpu... | |
| Mac vs. PC differences to Airport Express? The data stream from the AE is identical whether it is PC or MAC. The audio quality is the problem - very jittery. You can get decent "background music" with a glass Toslink, but that's all IMO. If you want to transform the AE into something world... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? The simplest and least expensive way to get superb audio quality as well as great user interface - use your own computer, but add external boxes to get WiFi or networked interface and then reclock to get excellent sound quality.First, decide on th... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Jpod - no, you must use slim-server. | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Chrisla - If you want to hear an amazing Sonos system, go to the St. Tropez (THE Show) suite 1203 when you are at CES.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| USB Ext Sound Card Vs. Squeebox Drubin - Probably because the SB3 jitter is worse than the HagUSB jitter. If both are playing back 16/44.1, the only difference should be jitter. However, depending on the software that you are using with the HAGUSB, such as ASIO and different pla... | |
| USB Ext Sound Card Vs. Squeebox Seanchau wrote:"USB is better than Wireless"This is not a sound conclusion. Certainly not the case. Your experience shows that the particular implementations of wireless servers you auditioned are not as good as the particular USB implementations ... | |
| jitter reduction? I can easily hear the effects of jitter with either dome tweeter or a good ribbon. The point that I was making is that true stereo improves your odds for hearing jitter easily using lots of different source material. | |
| jitter reduction? "They used headphones in listening tests so loud speaker distortion was not an issue (most loud speaker distortion would probably make it even harder to hear jitter"Headphones???I used to believe that headphones were better than speakers, but not ... | |
| jitter reduction? Gmood1 - I have a Proceed AVP. No problem hearing the effects of jitter on this one. It beats the Lexicon hands down. It's so good that I have not bothered to mod it. I dont listen to music on it anymore, only movies.As for the crossover, I do mod... |
