| 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... | |
| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter The sony blu ray players are an okay transport for digital coax s/pdif, but they are certainly not the best. To be honest, most of the bluray players out there are not the best S/PDIF transport. If you want a really good player/transport for bot... | |
| Convert 3-pin to 4-pin XLR? Headphone amps that have balanced outputs for fully balanced headphone typically use 4-pin XLR connectors for the headphone cable itself. This is a headphone output socket. | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Ah, one thing that the Merason POW1 linear power supply has that all other generic external linear power supplies do not are 3 different power supplies internally. The POW1 connection cable is actually a special 5-pin DIN cable. It has power sup... | |
| Which amp would you choose for a JBL 4367 setup? One good thing about the Kinki EX-M1 is that the unit has the input stage op-amps mounted in sockets, so you can play around with swapping different op amps to change the "voice" of the amp just like a tube amp. You can get some really nice Burson... | |
| Parts for an Arcam DV 139? Many CD/DVD player vendors used standard disc trays for their product (such as a Phillips dvd tray unit). If you are able to pull the tray out of your case, you might be able to find a manufacture name and part number. It -might- be possible to ... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Okay. I looked it over. Yes, I think the Ferot can definitely be a budget level DAC that sounds really good. Here is why. The Ferot uses an old schoool Burr-Brown 1794 DAC chip. It is extremely easy to engineer a DAC that sounds good with these ch... | |
| Audioquest speaker cables tomic604 stated this: Yes the AQ can and should be two sets of cables, so no concern about awg. I believe he is recommending using two sets of speaker cable for speakers that have 4 binding posts. You can definitely connect multiple speaker w... | |
| Audioquest speaker cables So they use a different AWG with the bi-wire option? The William Tell zero is 13 awg. Most Audioquest speaker wire are comprised of 4 wires for RED+ and 4 wires for BLACK- (the low end products such as Rocket 33 use 3 wires or 2 wires for each... | |
| Audioquest speaker cables I would not use a Audioquest bi-wire speaker cable. Their cables are excellent design, but they are normally just 13awg or close to 12awg cables. When you do the bi-wire option, you are just splitting that into a 14.5awg + 15.5awg cable. I wou... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The DPLL setting tells the LKS how long to examine the pulse timing on the digital inputs (spdif/usb). The lower DPLL numbers will result in higher resolution and higher sound quality, but your digital transport/source that connects to the LKS be... | |
| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter The USB interface is a data packet interface. Granted, you can improve music quality if you put in a better usb transmitter/source device. However, the receiving dac is going to have to un-wrap that usb data packet to get the actualy music file da... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? Putting $435 linear power supply into a $600 streamer is definitely a cost effective bang for the buck. The performance is definitely an improvement. If you look at all the music servers vendors, they will have a significant price difference bet... | |
| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter Generally, a usb-to-spdif converter is good for two scenarios: 1. you have a really bad usb source (like a computer or, especially, a laptop) where there is a not of noise, power supply is not good or the source usb transmit clock is not good. I... | |
| I’m looking for an Digital XLR cable I cannot comment on Clarus products because I have never used them. I will say that many cable manufacturers will create a "standard" way of making their cables and then do this for all types of cables (analog interconnect, speaker, power cord, d... |
