| Does the ESS Sabre Chip have a telltale sound? Stereophile measurements say the Simaudio 650D, which uses the ESS Sabre chips, is pretty immune to jitter. Maybe Simaudio has other systems in play to handle jitter?http://www.stereophile.com/content/simaudio-moon-evolution-650d-cd-player-measure... | |
| Hadouk Trio - Live at Fip I found you can download it in 16/44 (Red Book) here:http://www.qobuz.com/album/live-at-fip-hadouk-trio/3760002137889Great recording! | |
| Moving up from Cardas Clear Hi Jafant,No purchases yet but I will post an update if I do. | |
| Does the ESS Sabre Chip have a telltale sound? FYI, the Meridian MS600 is using an AD1852 chip (24 bits, 192 kHz). | |
| Length of digital cable? Thanks Steve,I wish more manufacturers offered a BNC option. RCA still seems to be the norm, unfortunately.Cam | |
| Does the ESS Sabre Chip have a telltale sound? I find there is a noticeable difference in sound between the dac in my Meridian MS600 (which I believe uses XMOS chips) and my Simaudio 650D (which uses Sabre chips). The Simaudio dac has deeper, more articulate bass, slightly more treble emphasis... | |
| Does the ESS Sabre Chip have a telltale sound? Sorry, typos make this a little confusing!I'm trying to get opinions on whether the Sabre chips have specific sonic traits that influence the sound of the DACs that use these chips vs. other chips. | |
| Lumin Network Music Server? Audio oracle,What tweaks did you find had the most benefit for the Lumin? I've got a Cardas Clear power cord already but what about EMI/RFI and mechanical isolation are you using? | |
| Length of digital cable? Steve, I understand one can't make a true 75 ohm digital cables with RCA connectors. That's the advantage of using BNC connectors, right - that is the BNC connectors allow for a true 75 ohm cable? So if you need to use RCA adaptors on the BNC cabl... | |
| Is the Simaudio Moon Eclipse good value? Help There is great synergy between Sim gear IMHO. I also agree that a big part of digital equipment sound quality comes from the power supply and analogue output stage and Sim has always excelled in these respects. Case in point - Sim offering outboar... | |
| The effect of source and external "double DACs"? My Meridian MS600 endpoint up-samples native 44.1 kHz files to 88.2 kHz and applies an apodizing filter before outputting a digital signal via coax S/PDIF to my Simaudio 650D dac. So this is not double dac per se but there is some processing of th... | |
| To upgrade from simaudio 3.3i to 600i or not? Nope, no regrets. Funny you mention the power issue - the reason I went to Sim separates from the i7 was that I read my speakers perform best with 300wpc. The Sim W8 puts out about that much power into my Revel Studio 2' 6 ohm load. I'm not sure I... | |
| Powerline Ethernet - Does it affect A/C noise? Here's the Netgear adaptor review:http://reviews.cnet.com/bridges/netgear-powerline-av-500/4505-3304_7-34799068.html | |
| Powerline Ethernet - Does it affect A/C noise? I use Netgear Powerline AV+ adaptors for my Meridian Digital Media System with flawless results. No noise at all as it has a built in filter. Also, the frequency with which these devices operate is so high that it's not going to interfere with the... | |
| Moving up from Cardas Clear Mickey, Have they discontinued Golden Reference too? If not, I think that would give you a bit of added warmth vs Clear. |
