| Old phones as streaming sources I hope you will report your findings back here if you do. I'm interested. | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @lanx0003 Invested a bit more time and watched this 25 minute video with citations about the nature and measurement of jitter. https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/understanding-jitter-in-digital-audio-measurements-and-listeni... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @lanx0003 Your question is a good one and the bottom line is I don't know how to answer it with confidence. This is one of the more pertinent statements I found. To measure jitter need put pure sine to the input of a known system. At the system ... | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio Right on @hilde45 and here's to those with the courage to admit it when two things sound the same to them, and those realize that dogma is not the best method of persuasion. | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @mdalton Thanks. Was not aware of hifi news. The really do have a who’s who of high end streamer tests! So lets assume that frequency and noise floor are pretty much settled issues with differences that are pretty much below the human level of de... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @lanx0003 Well I'm open to the notion that it could all be fictitious. Personal experiance suggests there ARE differences between streamers BUT I have never been "blown away" by those differences as some profess to have been. My experiance with su... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources That is a nice piece by archimago, almost exactly what I was looking for except it would have been better if he could have measured output from one or more of the high end devices he mentions at the start of the piece, as well. It is difficult to ... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources Earlier in the thread some negativity if not distinct animosity was directed at the poor little phone. It stinks, is shite, it sucks, ….really? I feel some need to defend this diminutive communications device and it’s heritage, particularly as it ... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources That more like it. I was beginning to feel completely mis-understood, not to mention stirring some mysterious anger towards inanimate objects that is just not good for you, people. Thanks for this first line @benanders you recruited a lot of s... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @fuzztone It needs to be noted that a Pi is not a "single purpose" built device. It was conceived and built as a small computer that would be a teaching tool to get young folks interested in computers and programming. They are frequently used as a... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources @soix So, did you compare running the iPhone direct into the DAC8 versus going through your Aries? If you don’t hear a significant improvement through the Aries, well, let’s just say we greatly differ in our experiences. The Auralic Aries i... | |
| Will streaming ever be "audiophile-worthy"? OP Curious question. Mind sharing why you ask? | |
| Drag on driver causing noise @toddalin +1 I was going to suggest the same. | |
| Old phones as streaming sources My central point is that by stripping away as many of the non-essential functions of the phone as possible I perceive it to improve as a digital source and I wonder if others have similar experiences. The persuasive explanation for this would be t... | |
| Old phones as streaming sources Well that is fine @soix , but I think you would be better served by prefacing your comments with "in my opinion" which is what it is. My points of reference are a Auralic Aries streamer and a OktoResearch Dac8, both of which are in another league ... |
