| Did Redbook get it right? 06-03-15: LloydcThe engineers at the time knew very well that the spec was inadequate, ....Lloydc, on what basis do say that the "spec was inadequate"? thanks. | |
| Did Redbook get it right? i personally think you are correct Electroslacker that redbook CD got it right from the get-go & that it's taken us 20-30 yrs to figure out how to make playback systems that can give us a high SQ without "digititis". Listening to a well made C... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Thanks for the detailed update Almarg. Looks like you are making steady progress with the HDP-5. It's time consuming but that's the nature of the beast. The hardwork is all in the prep (pretty much like home-owner projects) to make good measuremen... | |
| is there a difference between 192 dac and 96? Shel50,yes, there is but it depends on your hearing abilities & the quality of your electronics + speakers. Both 96KHz/24-bit & 192KHz/24-bit D/A converters use different algorithms to convert the music data stream to 96/24 or 192/24 and i... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Thanks for the feedback Mike_in_nc. My friend used to have a TacT - wasn't the 2.2X but an earlier version - and he sold it shortly after he bought it. I think he owned it a year +/-. He said the same thing - there was a grain/hardness & said ... | |
| Things Have Changed yeah, Rja, things have changed. Streaming is the thing today & not CDPs like it once used to be..... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Thanks again Bifwynne. Glad I was able to contribute.Very good responses from Almarg & Drewan77 esp. his feedback from personal usage over the past 3 yrs. I've also heard Magicos sometime back & agree with Almarg's findings.Agree with Unso... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Thank you for the kind works Bifwynne.Yes, correct - for those who cannot & will not buy time-coherent speakers DEQX is one answer to the problem. And, I believe the DEQX people were smart when they realized that the room acoustics play an imp... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Btw, you referred to "time alignment" and "time coherence." What is the difference between the two terms?Bifwynnesorry, I got side-tracked with my other hobby - photography. Processing some pix from a recent air-show & looking into other lens.... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? 05-20-15: Bifwynne...... For example, any thoughts if I were to invest in a pair of Vandies which start out time aligned?Hi Bifwynne, if you haven't already, you might want to read the following Vandersteen Seven loudspeaker review in the Speaker ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Bifwynne,Vandersteens are not only time-aligned, they are time-coherent which is the superset & what you want in the 1st place. If you decide to pull the trigger on Vandys, get the 5A or higher. They are expensive but the sonics will surpass y... | |
| Gain stages on Preamp yeah, I see what you are saying - the flexibility is good but you have one more distortion-creating device in your signal chain which is not good IMO but if it works for you-great! :-) I feel it's better to have minimum electronics in one's signal... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 agree with George that it must be a BJT output device.agree with Raindog031 that it's a monster power output for an integrate in the on-going tradition of Gryphon Audio. I really like their stuff but I do find it a bit dark sonically. | |
| Gain stages on Preamp same thing (synonym) Czarivey - voltage dividers, attenuators. they reduce/attenuate the voltage coming out of the preamp. | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It 05-19-15: ViridianI feel the same about having chosen a real wife over a blow up doll. LOL! I had a good chuckle reading this one!! ;-)it's been written/said before - anything with boobs or wheels is going to be a lot of fun but it will give you p... |
