| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? Unclejeff - It's a shame to spend $2K and just use the S/PDIF output. You would be better off to drive your DAC with I2S IMO. It's inherently superior and lower jitter. | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? Firewire and USB are similar in performance. The advantage of USB is there are more drivers and better chips available that support it.Steve N.Empirical AudioManufacturer | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? mikechai@gmail.com - anywhere near 1 nsec is high jitter in my book. For instance, the stock Squeezebox and AirPort Express have 300-400 psec, which is half what you are saying and I can easily hear the jitter.Until you have heard really low jitte... | |
| USB into DAC vs Airport Express into DAC Depends entirely on the USB converter you use. I mod the AE and put Superclock4 and new power supply and output circuit on it. Even with all of this and running on battery power, my USB converter is still better. Some USB converters will pass 24/9... | |
| HagUSB vs Other USB Interfaces/Devices Herman - Yes, even my USB DAC and converters will be detected by Windows and it will try to load the native Windows driver, but I recommend against this. The Windows driver is a bad sounding driver. Better to use the custom driver provided for tha... | |
| HagUSB vs Other USB Interfaces/Devices It is the USB device driver that supports ASIO. | |
| Wireless USB Pardales - that is correct, I dont believe it will work with an Off-Ramp or USB DAC.I think this UWB stuff just wont work. Need to stick with Wi-Fi.Steve N. | |
| Wireless USB Did you read this:"Note: The Wireless USB Extender does not support isochronous USB"I believe it will not work with typical USB audio converters.Steve N.Empirical AudioManufacturer | |
| High-res Downloads of Orchestral music available Try this link - the other was not correct:http://www.linnrecords.com/linn-downloads-what.aspx | |
| High-res Downloads of Orchestral music available Another interesting websight is this Linn one:http://www.linnrecords.com/linn-downloads-what.aspx/The tracks are all in WMA format though, so they have to be converted to play on decent players like Foobar or jriver. | |
| High-res Downloads of Orchestral music available RCprince - maybe Bob at highdeftapetransfers.com can sell your tracks for you. You should email him.Sidssp - These tracks can be played from iTunes on a MAC. You may have to uncompress them first to .wav using the tool that is on the highdef website. | |
| High-res Downloads of Orchestral music available TVAD - you must convert it to 16/44.1 first and then you can write a playable disk. There are a number of tools you can buy, but this one is free:http://www.voxengo.com/downloads/?highlight=r8brainHere is another:http://www.adobe.com/products/audi... | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? The Konnekt24D is powered from the firewire cable, which is the computers power. Have you changed this to battery or external power?I have no experience with firewire converters, but the others in this industry say that the firewire chips are very... | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? Mikechai - No. 1 is the most costly, but well worth it, particularly the Superclock4.BTW - I demonstrated my new I2S reclocker, the Pace Car at THE Show two weeks ago in Las Vegas. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes when the jitter is ... | |
| Your top ten CD transport??? Gammajo - the mods take it to world-class. Better imaging, dynamics and bass. Bass is the one thing that is hard to get out of this DAC. Great clarity and HF extension too.send this customer an email and he will describe it:baulsaudio@cox.netSteve... |
