| Roon Why not just spend $140 to get:1) Raspberry Pi single board computer (RPi)2) 16G SD card with adapter3) Allo Digione S/PDIF adapter boardThen the rest is free and only takes an afternoon:1) Program the SD card with the DietPi OS image using win32d... | |
| Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge) Don’t waste your money on an expensive transport. Instead buy a used or new OPPO blu-ray transport, any model, and reclock it with a $599 Synchro-Mesh reclocker. This will save you a bundle and give you the performance of a $10K transport: 20 psec... | |
| How to drive yourself insane .industry experts have an agenda, to relieve you of your money.Some of us actually help people make their systems better. I have been doing this for 15 years. Also, some of us don't pay advertising, marketing departments, legal departments or di... | |
| DACs and bass response? Great news, although it proves that maybe the reclocker is either not 100% immune to incoming jitter or poor signal integrity. You would have to look with a scope to see which one is causing this.I wonder if this would happen if it was powered fr... | |
| How to drive yourself insane It would be wise to filter what you read on these forums. Find the industry expert and listen to them.I can tell you that most audiophiles make the mistake of trying one DAC after another thinking that this is the path to nirvana. It's not. It ... | |
| PS Audio DAC output What source is driving the DAC? USB? S/PDIF coax?The source can easily be at fault.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC My point is that no matter how good a job the DAC does in cleaning up the signal it receives, and no matter how good the design of the DAC may be, signals and noise don’t necessarily just affect or entirely follow only their intended pathway. And ... | |

| Best affordable digital coax cable for connecting transport to re-clocker? The asynchronous clock is an example of jitter rejection. In the case of Benchmark, the incoming clock is digitally separate from the outgoing clock. Adjustments are made digitally at precisely 4 pSec intervals at an adjustment rate of less than 1... | |
| Best affordable digital coax cable for connecting transport to re-clocker? If you can use a soldering iron, you may want to try the VH Audio Pulsar Ag SPDIF Digital (75 ohm) cable with silver Eichmann connectors. Although the rca's are sold in sets of 4, Chris will sell you a pair. Cost would be around $200. Way overkill... | |
| Best affordable digital coax cable for connecting transport to re-clocker? If you have a left-over cable from a transport or HT, even a Toslink, use this. Totally non-critical. Save your money.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I'm am also getting superb results from my Interchange Ethernet interface with Jriver using DLNA now. I am currently modeling a Roon interface, so we will see how it stacks up against the DLNA Jriver player. I can do a fairly quick A/B because i... | |
| DAC for 2016 MacBook Pro I would check out Resonessence Labs:http://www.resonessencelabs.com/shop/concero-hd-bundle/ or Chord Electronics:https://chordelectronics.co.uk/product/qute-hd/ A bit more expensive, but maybe you can find a deal or get one used.Steve N.Empirical... |
