| Here's Why Movie Dialogue Has Gotten More Difficult To Understand The general volume of the Star Wars movie was much less than any other movie. It was basically like listening to a stereo recording with only 1 speaker instead of a full 2 speakers. | |
| Could you please give me an advice On many receivers, if you use a left/right analog source, it will NOT process the sound and send the bass to the subwoofer. It will just pass-through the left/right signal to only the main left/right speakers. You may want to start reading the do... | |
| black cat 110 digit aes/ebu vs snake river boomslang aes/ebu vs kimber orchid aes/ebu There are two things you really need to look at: 1. solid-core conductor 2. awg size of conductor In my experience, the larger awg solid-core conductors just perform better (up to a point). The problem is that most cable manufacturers do not t... | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity wow, thanks so much millercarbon. Can you be any more condescending? Or do you just post all your messages talking down to people to make you feel better. I’m way past getting tired of your stance. I'm sure many new posters fun of audio is discou... | |
| The Big Misconception About Electricity I finally watched this video through and it really had me questioning my understanding of electricity. It actually took some time for me to wrap my head around the theory of his version on "how electricity really works". Waking up today, I have ... | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? I have a friend who also had a negative experience with an OCXO clocked network switch in front of the music server. The switch is just a data packet transfer mechanism, but I actually think that it's injecting a certain type of "character" with ... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? The Gustard X22 might be cleaner (less distortion) than the Topping D90. The Topping might be better in other ways. | |
| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter the other complex alternative is looking at those high end media players (Zappiti, Zidoo, Dune). That requires you to rip the movies into a file for playback. If you just want to through a BD/DVD disc into a player and want a better result, get ... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? First thing to realize is that RME is a big name in the pro audio industry (recording studios, etc.). The price of RME components is significantly higher than other pro audio components. So you are already paying more for the RME than you would ... | |
| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter If you just want to get a really good upgrade DAC (which will likely sound better than the Zappiti/Dune anyways), here's a short list at the $1k price point: R2R resistor ladder dacs (generally more laid back sound, but more tonally thick/rich... | |
| Difference in sound between the RME ADI-2 DAC and the RME ADI-2 Pro DAC I would say there is no difference in sound quality. The "pro" version just adds analog audio inputs which allow you to record sounds into a computer. You're better off getting the non-Pro version and then adding a really good external linear po... | |
| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter Ah, I was thinking of mentioning another alternative, but I did not because of the complexity. However, since you stated that you are actually ripping your BD/DVD discs onto computer files and then playing them, there is another option. (ripping... | |
| I was told I2S is a better signal from computer vs USB. assistance in how to One more thing about i2s cables. They need to be as short as possible (like 1-2 feet if possible) because the i2s architecture does not work well with long runs. This is completely different with normal S/PDIF which require at least 1.5 meters t... | |
| I was told I2S is a better signal from computer vs USB. assistance in how to The sonore Ultra Digital looks like a nice usb-to-i2s adapter that is configurable to support i2s on 6 different dacs. I own a Pink Faun s/pdif card and it's excellent. The Pink Faun i2s card can support many different dacs using either hdmi con... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Now have Bel Canto DAC 2.7 and it smokes both the Ferot and BP. I really hate comments like this because everyone has them. Just watch now for people coming out of their nooks and crannies and saying "this DAC is the absolute best" just becaus... |
