| MOSFET 09-01-09: KijankiThere is no perfect device. Mosfets output stages are:- more robust than transistors- have higher bandwidth - are more tolerant of difficult loads but are:- less efficient since have lower voltage swing from the same supply voltag... | |
| Resampling my music collection Learn to read by inference. Dnewhous, This is some something I try extremely hard NOT to do on Audiogon!! You MUST be new to this forum?? Keep trying your "read by inference" & see how much trouble you land yourself in! ;-) I've been down this... | |
| Resampling my music collection 08-29-09: DnewhousAny other DSP process will do its own resampling if it encounters 44.1 kHz audio, and the quality of that resampling will be entirely unpredictable.Dnewhous, do explain this statement of yours as you seem to have lost me w/ your ... | |
| Resampling my music collection From a pure engineering perspective, upsampling to 96KHz would be better - the DAC analog filter will have less of an effect on the hi freq of the music. You trade off disk space vs. audio quality - disk space is relatively cheap today. that if I ... | |
| Changing your tune Glory, you just had a hurricane rip thru Destin, FL. I had a school friend vacationing there & he was on the beach watching the waves & feeling the strong beach.How did you fare in the storm?? | |
| Changing your tune Glory,you get credit for admitting your pig-headedness during your junior years & you get credit for finally maturing & realizing that hi-(sp)end audio is a very subjective hobby/obsession & that 2 people listening to your very own sys... | |

| Scott Nixon Chibi Saru DAC with PSX: Review Celtic66, I've the Scott Nixon Saru DAC+ & I also think that this DAC is an excellent buy & sonically is a very accomplished piece. I compared it to the Bel Canto DAC2 & while the DAC2 was superior, the Saru DAC+ held its own very well... | |
| Modification Nightmares To further Tvad's point, you need to 1st ask yourself* why are you wanting to modify your equipment? i.e. what is wrong w/ it? or, what is deficient? * when the equipment is modified, what do you expect to achieve sonically? (this is of course rel... | |
