| Accuphase or Esoteric? Esoteric over the Oppo. Definitely. | |
| Ways to improve DAC performance??? One issue with USB is that it sends regular bursts of info like the start of frame packet - "The SOF packet consisting of an 11-bit frame number is sent by the host every 1ms ± 500ns on a full speed bus or every 125 µs ± 0.0625 µs on a high speed ... | |
| Ways to improve DAC performance??? ...and look at the incredible expense to add a highend usb converter (oxymoron?)? at least $2,000! Just for the converter! A GREAT soundcard is $150. Why are we doing it bassackwards? | |
| Ways to improve DAC performance??? Been through it already, Steve. I have tried too many. Yours, the berkeley, the ayer and some of the cheap ones (and they sound cheap). USB sucks and its actually finally being found out. Talk on the hardcore computer blogs talk about how USB will... | |
| Mag editors and interviewers could do better I'd just settle for a 'complete' review. It wasn't until TAS reviewed an updated version of the Walker turntable, that they mentioned issues on the older ones. Why don't they comment on a products noise and other real world issues? Telling me a cd... | |
| Tara Labs cables sound I am also a fan of Tara Labs. Their customer service is TOP shelf. I had broke a pair of XLR IC's and they repaired (and upgraded me!) at an incredibly fair price. Years ago, after spending $2,000 on single ended inter connects and brought a new b... | |
| 32 Feet USB : sound degradation issues, what next? USB Sucks! Get a soundcard! | |
| Magtech Amplifier I'm sure it does as my stats go down to 3/4 of an ohm or so. call roger! he is awesome. (AWESOME!) and 30 day in home trial (NO ONE has ever returned them!).Disclaimer-I LOVE my AMPS! | |
| Ways to improve DAC performance??? even better-dont use usb at all! get a soundcard. why change sound to usb than back when you can just get spdif from your puter with a good soundcard? I have done that, saved $2,000 on a usb converter-have better sound, and have NEVER looked back! | |
| Magtech Amplifier Roger Sanders stats. Started with the MkII and upgraded the panels/crossovers to the current. | |
| PC to External Sound Card to DAC? the sound. resolving, no noise, transparent, pin point imaging. and no usb to spdif conversion. just real sound... | |
| Magtech Amplifier I picked up a pair in July and they are incredible. They did sound great from the beginning but they did sound even better after 120-200 hours. I have the Esoteric K03 going into them directly and it is a math made in heaven with my Stats. | |
| shindo vs. atma-sphere I have heard both and both have been amongst some of the best sounding tube amps I have ever heard. I could easily live for the rest of my life with either (and a box of tubes). | |
| Well, worst of is really what this is about I spent $2,000 for a line doubler back before HDTV - It didn't do much; I paid $1,000 for the 1st LG bluray/HD dvd player - didn't work until the upgraded software was released months later; I paid $4,000 for a Meridian 588 10 years ago and it did... | |
| PC to External Sound Card to DAC? I use the ESI Juli@ sound card and it is awesome. |
