Clock synchronization issue?
The other thing I noticed in reading the Stereophile review of the Sooloos Source One (2008) was that the original unit they got to test had a grounding issue with the analogue outputs which resulted in an issue in the 85 Hz range. I wonder if tha... 
Clock synchronization issue?
Well, I guess the S/PDIF digital output of the Sooloos MC200 and MS600 is not optimal and that Meridian has designed their DACs to compensate. Funny, though, that we found the Arcam D33 seemed to deal with the MS600 digital output better than the ... 
Has anyone heard the SimAudio 650D?
I compared the S/PDIF output of a Sooloos Ensemble with the MC200 into my Simaudio 650D dac yesterday. I got the best results with the Ensemble, which was basically on par with, if not a little better than, CD play through the 650D. Wondering why ...

To upgrade from simaudio 3.3i to 600i or not?
I would have kept my i-7 as I thought it was stellar but my new speakers needed a little more power. That's the only reason I went to separates.Cheers,Cam

The Sim integrated amps sure are impressive, aren't they?Enjoy! 
To upgrade from simaudio 3.3i to 600i or not?
If you feel you would benefit from more power then using your 600i as a pre amp with a W-8 amp would be a step up. You might get a little more control and punch in the bass with the additional power.You could also try adding a P-7 or P-8 pre amp a... 
To upgrade from simaudio 3.3i to 600i or not?
I have owned the Simaudio i7 and have upgraded to the point where I now have a P-8 and W-8. I still often crank up the volume to the low 50's. Volume didn't change as I upgraded to the high end Sim separates but the quality of sound did. Still, we... 
Front end system for music streaming
I heard September, so it should be really soon. 
Front end system for music streaming
Simaudio will be offering its MiND streaming system as an upgrade in the 380D. This will allow you to connect the 380D to your computer or Network Attached Storage device via your home computer network (via Ethernet cable or wirelessly - high def ... 
Review: Nordost QX4 AC filter
I have 2 Nordost QV2s plugged into mt Nordost QB8 power bar and I hear similar effects to what you are hearing. It really is hard to describe but it's an effect that is hard to live without after they've been in the system for a while! The other c... 
MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU
As a follow up, I found a way to turn off the up sampling and apodising filter in the Sooloos and now the sound is very open with extended high frequencies - with the MIT Oracle digital cable in place. Turns out the MIT cable was not the culprit a... 
Clock synchronization issue?
Thanks Steve. Your advice is much appreciated!Cam 
Clock synchronization issue?
Thanks Steve!Very interesting, particularly that jitter in low frequencies can be more challenging than at other frequencies.I predominantly use wave files ripped by Exact Audio Copy (with the program optimized for my laptop). Flac files (ripped b... 
Has anyone heard the SimAudio 650D?
FYI, in doing some experimenting I've found that there may be a bit of an issue when feeding the 650D with a Sooloos.I've got a Sooloos MC200 and have been struggling since I bought it to try and recreate the (fantastic) sound I get out of the 650...
