| Which Analog to Digital converter I am assuming "streaming mode" means the ability for the Tascam to record music directly into a computer and save it as a file as it's being recorded (without having to record onto a USB drive or memory card first and then copying that file into t... | |
| Adcom 565 vs Emotiva xpa-1 These are radically different amps. The Adcom is voiced very warm and, in my opinion, has a very messy sound in the mids/highs. The bass is going to be warm and somewhat slow in my opinion.If you are talking about the new Emotiva "Gen 3" XPA-1 a... | |
| are B&O hedphones good? Googling shows that these particular headphones were made about 37 years ago. Not sure if that's what you really want to spend $125 on unless you want them for vintage/memory purposes. I have visited and listened to B&O stuff and it has never... | |
| MQA is for chumps I have friends who have said that an MQA song actually sounded worse than the CD version. I think the MQA owners will probably see the writing on the wall here and just keep this MQA money machine rolling to make as much money possible until the ... | |
| Major Contradiction, Can you replace foam surrounds with Rubber Surrounds on Speakers ??? I believe, and this is foggy, that the answer is that the majority of the compliance in a driver is the spider on the inside, next to the magnet. The foam or rubber ring we see on the outside is normally the one that contributes the least amou... | |
| Which Analog to Digital converter Yes, it appears that the Tascam DA-3000 does have what you would call a "streaming mode". You can enable a mode called "ADDA DIRECT" which basically takes any analog audio coming in on one of the inputs and converts and then output that on the an... | |
| Good 2 channel integrated amplifier for 702 s2 under 3k? Kinki Studio EX-M1 or EX-M1+. It has replaceable op amp sockets that allow you to switch out op amps and change the "voice" of the integrated. If it is too bright, you can start loading Burson V6 Vivid or Classic op amps to smooth out the sound.AD... | |
| Considering the Parasound A23+ amplifier I am using Audioquest King Cobra interconnects The King Cobra uses silver-plated connectors (XLR/RCA) and this can definitely make the highs have a bright edge and can reduce the thickness in bass and midbass. I would recommend looking for a ... | |
| Brighter sound then Bryston DAC I believe that hiend2 actually may have a point with the sound of the Bryston. The comments that "DAC sounds brighter or duller than a different DAC" are completely based on assumptions.Here's my reason. I have had the Bryston SP3 processor in m... | |
| Which Analog to Digital converter The Tascam DA-3000 is a example of a digital recorder that nighthawk is talking about. It's roughly $899, which is cheaper than the RME. However, most people that have compared them really like the RME ADI-2 Pro better for sound quality. With t... | |
| Rotel RA-1592 vs McIntosh MA252 on B&W 702 s2 "McIntosh punches above it's weight" is really just an opinion. In reality, they are going to have different sonic signatures. The McIntosh will have a more mild and laid back kind of sound, but it will have a more neutral sonic signature. The ... | |
| Considering the Parasound A23+ amplifier I highly doubt that the Pass XA25 is causing the lean sound with bright highs. I suspect it is something else. Maybe something in your preamp, or the type of 6SN7 tubes? Or are you using silver wiring - as this will definitely slant the sound t... | |
| Which Analog to Digital converter I was going to jump in. The Muffin is really just a phono preamp that does click-reduction using DSP (which means it converts analog to digital to do the click-removal and then converts back to analog). You can get a Muffin with S/PDIF output, b... | |
| Which Analog to Digital converter Oh, one more thing. These "pro" interfaces use combo XLR/TRS inputs. It will accept a standard XLR cable. If you use RCA cables, you can get a nice RCA-to-TRS unbalanced cable such as this:https://www.proaudiola.com/product-p/1-m2549-rca-ts-1.htmA... | |
