| The basics of PC audio Pabelson wrote:"Reclocking is part of the DAC's job. If you have a DAC that does not reclock, you have a defective DAC."Sorry, not true. Only upsampling DAC's actually need any sort of local clock. The clock is usually recovered from the S/PDIF si... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Alex - I agree that if the entire track is read into RAM and then played back from RAM, then it has the same flow-control and clocking advantages of a computer, but to my knowledge, none of the available CD players do this, except for maybe the Me... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Alex P. wrote:"The answer is NO, if superior audio quality is desired of course. Otherwise we might as well get I-PODs."I cannot understand this statement. The fact is that computer-driven audio is intrinsically superior to reading of optical disk... | |
| Benchmark Dac 1 vs Bel Canto Dac 2 ????????????? The latest Benchmark version is significantly better. I think you should audition it again. | |
| Laptop for Auditioning Equipment at Dealer? That could be construed as advertising. If I dont mention my products or my company name, then he is free to search the web for the many versions of converters for himself. | |
| Laptop for Auditioning Equipment at Dealer? I would recommend a battery-powered USB to S/PDIF coax converter. | |

You said yourself that it is dependent on the hardware. I have found just the opposite to be true. With an external battery-pow... | |
| ASIO4ALL Crackles With Wavelength Audio Brick Get a MAC. This is the only thing that will solve it IME. | |
| Understanding Signal Path in PC Audio If there is digital in and stereo analog out, then there is a DAC in the box. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? BTW - I looked at the Cool Copy. I cannot believe that you will get decent copies at 52X write speed. All of the copiers that sound good IMO use much lower speed, usually 1X. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? TBG - The Mitsui's are designed for archiving.The cleaner/treatment will be reviewed in the near future when I am ready to start selling it. I will be providing the reviewers multiple CD-R disks rewritten and treated with all products currently av... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? MikeLavigne - I was involved in the shootout at CES. The RC provides a real improvement, but so does my rewriting system, which I call the CD Tune-up. I am using a modified Yamaha writer that has low-jitter modified Superclock and battery power. I... | |
| Can a PC match the quality of the best CD players? "How can a PC compete when you're stuck buying consumer grade CD burners, power supplies, motherboards etc.? Even if they are the most expensive that you can find. Is there a way to build a PC that rivals a $5,000 CD player?"Certainly, infact, it ... | |
| Record LP's on to Laptop The best quality result will be with a Mytek 24/96 A/D converter and then a S/PDIF to USB converter to the computer. |
