| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Wanted to clear something up, in speaking with John Wright at Museatex he made me aware that I had been incorrectly refering to his "Factory Upgrades" as mods. He does not do modifications to the Bidat they are factory updates, which makes sense a... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Also, I have found out that M2Tech will be releasing a higher end product sometime in the future (I don't have a time-line as yet) which will also have a AES/EBU connection. I am completely sold on the HiFace which IS Asynchronous. Guys before you... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Ok, so I can say that now the Bidat is one of the finest 16 bit dacs I have ever heard or owned!!! Having said that, MSB's latest gear is better when playing 24 bit material (as would be expected) but only when one has gone to significant lengths ... | |
| Need help with Dedicated music server. I have NEVER EVER had a USB dac which is capable of USB and SPDIF sound better using the USB connection regardless of the science for why it should. All of my listening has always favored the SPDIF connection. I now use a HiFace with my MSB Power ... | |
| Flac conversion for ipod? Max is the ticket. I also purchase from HDTracks and use Max. One other cool thing is that you can tell MAX to automatically add the converted file to your iTunes Library upon completion of the conversion process. I typically que up all my downloa... | |
| AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs I have not heard the EMM gear, but I do seem to read about a number of issues with the gear (now including their $25K flagship) is this the case? Or are these isolated idiosyncrasies which are quickly rooted out and nulled? | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others FYI, I want to be clear that the Bidat DOES work incredibly well with the HiFace unit when listening to music maybe even sounds a tad better on some material (perhaps due to the memory mode buffer) than the built in Tos (tlaking Tos with a superb ... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Tpaxadon: Well this is my 3rd Bidat :) My original Bidat was purchased around 1997 when I heard from a reputable source that a number of the bigger reviewers of the day were using Bidats on the hush hush for their personal syste, (regardless of wh... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Lev: Thanks man... I am having fun and I am very glad some people are enjoying my quest/endeavor. Like I said when I started this thread it was about comparing dacs head to head and reporting what "I" heard ... unbiased.As I have found many dacs d... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others I have a power dac which is according to MSB is a Platinum without the modularity. The power dac has the 16x filter not the 32x filter and it has the second gen dac modules not the signature. I have been told by unnamed persons at MSB that it is v... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others One other thing concerning the MSB, you have probably read people describe its character (sound) as laid-back. It is... it is a very languid sounding unit, and if you decide to team it with a preamplifier, I suggest you do NOT use a laid back euph... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Tomorrow marks the 2 week run-in of my modded Bidat. It has changed dramatically in those 2 weeks. I think by now you folks know that I like my Power Dac, but the Bidat is beginning to pull ahead and open the gap a bit. I was asked by a fellow aud... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Ok, so I will try to make this concise and clear:With about 25 hours on the Bidat I did some preliminary testing last evening. Note that John Wright has informed me that the Bidat mods need 3 weeks to fully settle in so this is a sort of "take it ... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others John Wright just told me he didn't want to hear my opinion on the Bidat until 3 weeks have elapsed LOL!!! | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others The one that's for sale was also mine, I had 2 of them :) |
