| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Everyone sick of the snow and rain? If you want to do your part to slow this trend, I recommend that you turn your vehicles engines off when they are parked. If everyone did this, it would eliminate more CO emissions than 2 coal power plants. If w... | |
| Perpetual Technologies p1A p3A I used to mod these both. They are antiques at this point. A new reclocker/resampler that is much better is the Synchro-Mesh:http://www.empiricalaudio.com/products/synchro-meshSteve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC This is the problem you get when there is a lot of margin in a product so the Distributor and Dealer get a big cut. They can do big discounts and still make money. I don't have this problem. If my Overdrive SE was sold through dealers, it would co... | |
| USB SQ, what can one expect Cerrot - read the links. Its my customers vinyl, high-end stuff. I don't have vinyl or CD player anymore. My digital sounds better. I have heard your Juli@t in the Bryston. Good sounding, but my stuff leaves it in the dust.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| pc computer used under $500.00 for music only A used Oct. 2009 Mac Mini is the ticket. Buy it on ebay for $375 with wireless keyboard , mouse and OS CDROM disk. Upgrade it with 16 gigs DRAM and a SSD from otherworldcomputing.com. Beats virtually all servers on the market if you supply DC powe... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Fsmith - The Off-Ramp 5 should work fine with your USB cable, and it will likely improve on the USB interface in the Bricasti to boot. OR5 can be upgraded later to Off-Ramp 6 or Interchange Ethernet interface. Both big upgrades.If you want Off-Ram... | |
| USB SQ, what can one expect USB can sound as good as vinyl:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1398132150&openflup&1775&4#1775http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=95464.msg960567#msg960567Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Audiol - it has the same volume control. It has internal jumpers if you need zero volume to be more quiet. I think mute is a better choice if you need it dead quiet. This is a part of the volume technology. it does not go to zero unless you mute.I... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD AudioL - the ODSE uses the same volume control. It does not need to get "better" IMO. Already the best out there.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD "I'm assuming the OR6 tech is integrated into the ODSX Diamond. Are you considering using the Dynamo supply and power block usb supply for the ODSX as well?"Yes, that is the plan. The Dynamo is not needed, but the Power Block improves things."If w... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD For those reading this thread, the OR6 that Truaudiofile has is a prototype. He is using it with a Dynamo supply and a Power Block USB supply. Evidently the Hi-Res problems that I had with it are not being experienced by him. He is using a TotalDA... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Rice - certainly not. I never have claimed zero jitter, only low jitter. I'm an engineer, not a salesman or marketeer. As for Hynes technology, its simply the best regulator for both digital and analog. I licensed the technology, so I design my ow... | |
| Do USB cables matter ? For moving data non-real-time from disk to memory or another disk, the USB cable is not very important. Any decent one that meets specs will do.For USB streaming audio interfaces it is very important. This is real-time sensitive. Losses, impedance... | |
| Genesis Time Lens There is one particular bunion that never seems to go away. Don't you have a life? | |
| Genesis Time Lens Rich - lower jitter will always make an improvement in the system sound, no matter what DAC you use.The Time lens is designed as a large buffer that buffers an entire track, and multiple tracks. It is designed so that worst-case a full CD of track... |
