| Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC? OP: "Here’s what happens when one presses the the Nuprime CDT-8’s OS button [the central one on the bottom row of the remote], and then dials up to the desired PCM OS rate, say, 48K x 2 = 96K [by pressing the right button on the bottom row]... the... | |
| Denafrips Terminator vs. Venus @eugene78: I went a different route for my DAC upgrade. @adg101: Alvin is the middle man in the Denafrips brand. I cannot imagine that the products cost more than 50% of their MRSP. That would mean Alvin is banking 40% and Mike is getting 10%. | |
| Empirical Audio Synchro mesh reclocker, anybody? @ozzy +1 | |
| Empirical Audio Synchro mesh reclocker, anybody? The Exogal folks tell me that upstream reclockers don’t benefit their DAC processors. I suspect the PS Audio DAC may fall into the same category.. Both may be considered as computing DACs in the sense they are processing digital data per se. | |
| Empirical Audio Synchro mesh reclocker, anybody? @ozzy I just ordered an Exogal Comet Plus. Similar digital signal processing to the PS Audio DAC (proprietary, non-delta/sigma, non-multibit, and non-R2R ladder processor). | |
| Empirical Audio Synchro mesh reclocker, anybody? @ozzy: What do you have for a transport and DAC? | |
| Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC? The best I can tell about the NuPrime digital transport (CDT-8 PRO) and companion DAC (DAC-9) is that the CDT-8 PRO transport can be selected to up sample to higher sampling rates ONLY for the purpose of digital stream data transmission via a comp... | |
| Empirical Audio Synchro mesh reclocker, anybody? @ozzy Can you clarify your post? Which "it" made the sound worse? | |
| Empirical Audio Synchro mesh reclocker, anybody? Steve announced a new, lower jitter, Crystek oscillator for his Synchro-Mesh reclocker. It’s ~$125 compete with S/H via PP for those who want to have Steve upgrade their unit. Supposed to improve low- and mid-frequencies. | |
| Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC? OP wrote in his OP: “The question, then, is which combination is likely to be the better: 1. The Nuprime transport and the Jay's Audio DAC or 2. The Jay's Audio transport and the Jay's Audio DAC? Does the presumed superiority of the Jay's Audio tr... | |
| Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC? OP: the Theta DAC is a 25-year old Redbook DAC. It only locks onto 44.1k and 48k signals. | |
| Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC? Both were fed into my Theta Digital DSPro Basic IIIa DAC as conventional Redbook signal inputs (16-bit/44.1k). I posted my results on Teajay’s thread about the Jay’s Audio transport. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/if-you-still-spin-cd-s-th... | |
| Which transport with my Jay's Audio DAC? I’ve auditioned both the NuPrime CDT-8 Pro and Jay’s Audio CDT2 MK2 transports over at least one month periods. The Jay’s Audio transport is far better than the NuPrime transport. | |
| Calling all Schiit Freya owners: question about amplifier pairing and heat problems. The Freya seemed fairly cool to the touch in the Schiit Audio room at AXPONA 2019. Nothing of a temperature to suggest finger-burning concerns. | |
| Denafrips Terminator vs. Venus @eugene78, Welcome!!Thanks for your post! I suspected the Venus would share a lot more SQ with the Terminator, but acknowledge Terminator’s beefier power supply section would give it a decided advantage in background quietness, dynamics and slam. |
