| Oppo 205 and external DAC? There are 2 ways to go here:1) get a Final Drive transformer buffer to change from bal to SE:http://www.empiricalaudio.com/products/final-drive 2) add an external DAC with SE outputs.This will sound better, PROVIDING that you reclock the Oppo digi... | |
| Need Help with Ethernet Renderer/Mac/DAC You must go into the options for Jriver and select the DLNA option, otherwise it will not look for the renderer.Once you have this selected, re-power the renderer and it will show up on the left side of the Jriver menu, assuming it is a UPnP/DLNA ... | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable Regular S/PDIF COAX digital cable is actually not a bad system, though using BNC connectors is best. Only a true i2s digital connection is better because the DAC/source does not have to encode the stereo digital signals into a single wire signal. ... | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable if we assume you cannot get a true 75ohm out of an RCA ... I wonder why more manufacturers don't get it right, maybe as those that care that much are including S/PDIF on RCA as a convenience and prefer you use AES3 or some other method? Simple. T... | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable S/PDIF is about the worse possible platform for carrying digital data. This is your experience with your particular equipment, not something that you can make broad conclusions from. There is nothing fundamentally flawed with S/PDIF as a transmis... | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable @audioengrWow. Good to know.Got any compunction to explain why?Good to know what?? Context is lost.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge) Oppo will not rip. You can use any computer with dbpoweramp (PC) or XLD (Mac).Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable @audioengrThat’s better. Wasn’t able to see exactly which wire you refered to in the previous Link.Can’t RCA termination maintain the 75Ohm protocol?No, RCA is never 75 ohms.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable 30-day money-back, less $8 shipping on the Standard BNC cable. You are welcome to shoot it out against other cables for 30 days. Sometimes I allow a bit more if needed.My very best is my Reference BNC for $499, but the Standard is very close. More... | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable A bit more and you could have a real giant killer, the Standard BNC with RCA adapters. $275. Here are jitter measurements:https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=154425.0 Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Maybe one from ciaudio.com would beat a wall-wart?Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC I do use the iPurifier on my HT with a fast reacting LPS. If you use a Sbooster, I think this would work good.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC iPurifier is a great tool for Dolby Digital and DTS jitter reduction. I use it in my home theater.For PCM, I recommend the Synchro-Mesh. Some jitter plots:https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=154408.0 For digital coax cables, I recommend m... | |
| Jolida Fusion DAC/transport: opinions or other DAC/transport alternatives? Once you use a CD player as a transport, the only thing that matters is jitter from it. Like a previous poster said, any transport will do, including your current one. This is true, PROVIDED that you use a reclocker like the Synchro-Mesh. Here i... | |
| Esoteric PO3 Transport XLR Output Left and right XLR's are analog outputs, not digital outputs.Single XLR is usually AES/EBU digital output and input.S/PDIF coax digital output can be even better than AES/EBU. AES has one advantage and that is common mode noise rejection because ... |
