There is an option for an output that down-samples to 16/44.1 correct? My DAC just does redbook and I have issues when inadvertently streaming MQA albums t... | |

I have to put my volume slider to the max to hear it well.You definitely have the right kind of diffusors behind the speakers. I would be ... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I studied atmospheric physics in depth too but I better stop there... as nobody likes to hear rational discussion on that topic which has become a new cult religion.I do. People need to be educated on this. Most don't realize that GW is an existe... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Anyway, what is your opinion of using USB in the following configuration: Gateway NV79 > Belkin e129760-c usb > YggdrasilA better USB cable would improve things. The problem is that most USB interfaces built into DACs are not that great. Th... | |
| Advice from members Probably the USB converter. This is mostly about lowering jitter, but USB has its problems as well. If you want to make an immediate improvement and want to stay with USB, replace the converter with a Berkeley USB converter. Maybe you can get one... | |

You will have to spend a lot more than $2K to get 18psec of jitter and you get this with a $599 Synchro... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD My Oppo UDP-205 (delta-sigma) has a user preference setting whereby the filter can be changed. Way back, I did some research as to what this entailed, and found it had all to do with "pre-ringing", "post-ringing" and basically everything at the 20... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD jwm and charles1dad - I think the problem might be the system. Each of you heard the same two DAC's, but in different systems. It is very possible that one preamp or set of cables made one DAC sound better than the other and the opposite in the ... |
