| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? @botrytis anything is possible. I think it’s just bad synergy. We’ll see. | |
| Software converting PCM to DSD using DoP You know that the DSD DAC converts everything to DSD, right? I would just trust the FPGA in it rather than some random algorithm that upconverts. Just my take. | |
| Auralic Aries G1.1 - Tidal Connect not working Find Tidal app in settings on your iphone/ipad and make sure Local Area Network is selected. | |
| Guess who has new speakers in their lab? emergingsoul OP 907 posts 04-25-2024 at 10:43am I think it's a big event. This is the only place you can see extremely high speakers routinely It’s a non-event. And you need to cut the 💩 with these posts. | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong I owned 2 Benchmark DACs. DAC 1 years ago and recently DAC 3 HGC. To me the benchmark sound is cool, dry, a more a matter of fact type sonic rendition of recorded music . I do agree though that the product is nicely built, rich in features and mea... | |
| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? Highly doubt the replacement unit will be any different. It may lock onto usb without issues but the sonics won’t change. The dac section either works or it doesn’t. We shall see. | |
| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? @magon if it sounds veiled and dark to you in your system, then that’s it. That’s all that matters. Give it 200hrs and if no improvement return it. Use the other dacs. | |
| SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT Unfortunately there’s no universal answer. I would replace the weakest link. | |
| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? Purist Audio 🐈⬛ 7 into Aurender N200. Nothing fancy. Sounds great. Tried: generic, Supra, Supra Telegartner, Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System, Amazon Linkup. My favorite is Purist. My thoughts - Ethernet cables make a difference. But they... | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong Benchmark Media Systems has an opinion. That’s all it is. Not right. Not wrong. As a manufacturer they should probably stay out of this though. | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? @mahgister I have to praise you for your posts responding to fascist free household requirement. You nailed it. The communists/socialists/anarchists/facsists etc. of the world who disregard history drive their idiotic narrative here and fuel the d... | |
| Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap Actually Bricasti doesn’t recommend upsampling before the DAC. I believe it’s in the manual. They’re of the opinion that the DAC sounds best when fed the original bitrate. I tried upsampling to DSD using Lumin U1 Mini and the built in network card... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing @benanders that whole sentence sums up your stance on this matter. I literally took nothing out of context. I don’t know what you mean by “behavior”. Once again, I’m enjoying this hobby and how my system sounds. I wish you the same. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Tony that’s so the blind tests can be conducted. If the ATM doesn’t feature braille , ATM doesn’t exist. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing I pasted some placards throughout my neighborhood stating I am looking for blind testers. No one called yet. |
