DAC Accustics Art - Ayon CD5S - AMR DAP 777
Not quite, the hub has it own USB. I have hub from mini, then 50 cent USB from to hub to dac. As I stated the ONLY USB that could equal the 50 cent usb was the Cynosure.., in fact it was identical to the point that I actually wondered if the Cynos... 
DAC Accustics Art - Ayon CD5S - AMR DAP 777
The mac mini NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! :)... Now here is a tip (a little secret) I found some time ago but did not share it on this site, mainly due to the idiots who want to argue about every little thing. I found a $0.50 usb cable that was EVERY bit as...

USB Bit Rate Puzzle AMR Off-ramp Amarra Mac
Because it doesn't matter in that if you are sending less than 24 bits such as in the case of RB the system will simply pad the other bits. Trust me, it is the same as if you could select 16 bits. Same thing with the Empirical audio, if you send 1... 
DAC Accustics Art - Ayon CD5S - AMR DAP 777
I own the AMR DP777 and I have been burning in an Ayon CD5s since last Friday eve (6/1/12). My initial thoughts concerning the Ayon is that it is a very musically satisfying device. I really like it quite a lot. The preamplifier section is quite s... 
How important is an audio rack?
Tbg: I agree with everything you have stated. I would also add that I do not pretend to understand everything I hear when I change footers..etc. For instance, a device like the MFA TVC or dacs for that matter (I am aware that although the TVC is p... 
How important is an audio rack?
It matters a GREAT deal for ss as well as tubes. I can clearly hear my ss amps change character depending on what they rest upon. Believe it or not (and I had a hard time with this one) my MFA Reference TVC Preamp is incredibly sensitive to what i... 
Halcyonics Accurion Silencer
Depends on the exchange rate, but about $15k. Not cheap but then it is German and it is a piece of gussied up lab equipment.I currently have an Ayon CD5s on the silencer and it definitely advances the sound of that very very fine unit. Burning the... 
Halcyonics Accurion Silencer
Hi Elbroth2: I can definitely understand the route you went. I think it is like a the finishing touch for a fine dish. Get the major spices right and then add the very subtle things to top ti off :) The second Silencer is still packed in the fligh... 
Halcyonics Accurion Silencer
So something I have noted concerning the Silencer and perhaps other Active systems like the Silencer is that it is possible for the device to OVER-DAMP some equipment. I like the MFA Reference preamp on the Silencer in passive mode but not in Acti... 
AMR 77.1 cd player and your thoughts
Sabai, I do not believe he owns an AMR dac ()and in his defense I do not believe he ever claimed to own that line of gear :). I believe the listening session referred to was a stop at my uncles house for all of 15 minutes to pick up some audio ite... 
AMR 77.1 cd player and your thoughts
The AMR dac is the single best DAC I have yet experienced. For ANYONE to say it sounded rotten kinda surprises me. Now I will say this, if in Teajay's post he is speaking of the system I think he is, there are a few things that should probably hav... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Ok, my dac probably has about 800 hours on it.., it is doing that magical thing now. This is a ridiculously good product. I hate to wax poetic but dang if this this is not freaky good!!! 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Yinngtonggao: You seem to be having a lot of issues with your AMR/PC combination. I have not experienced any of the issues you have mentioned sans break-in issues. Perhaps you should try a Mac Mini with Pure Music. The USB sounded good right off t... 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
I can honestly say that it is not really worth judging it before 500 hours, it changes that much. The bass is flabby and soft when new. I have broken 2 of them in and the units broke in identically. I have found the bass to be as good or better th...
