| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... My computer days are behind me. I no longer want to tweak things. I just want them to work. | |
| Whats under your Berkeley Dac? It dulls the vibration from the transformer. | |
| Whats under your Berkeley Dac? It's the transformer, which vibrates a bit. I put herbies footers underneath with herbies pucks on top as well as a gut wire sack on top. | |
| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... My issues with EAC were not sonic; I ripped a few hundred CD's and EAC didn't do as well as job with the meta data that I wanted. I re-ripped with dbPower and am thrilled, and am not looking back. EAC consistently missed a few tracks in the rippin... | |
| IMO the two best tracks to demo or test any system Ricki Lee Jones under the boardwalk cover. It's dynamics and bass is enough to send a mere mortal back to best buy with his receipt in his pocket and Bose speakers under his arm. | |
| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... Computer audio can(and does) sound awesome. I think dbpoweramp beats the pants off of EAC, in my set up.I just did a ridiculous overhaul on my windows system (a very sophisticated cleaning & tweaking) and found a ton of malware issues (I do ru... | |
| Can Digital beat our Analog installations? Obviously. | |
| Can Digital beat our Analog installations? digital will always be limited by 44.1k. always. | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? When recently discussing a rather expensive hifi purchase with my wife, she said, "what are you waiting for? Won't you be losing your hearing soon?" (i'm 53). | |
| Audio software vinyl to c/d I think you are better off cleaning and treating the records and tweaking your table to reduce the clicks and pops (should be relatively few on even old and played records if cleaned properly played on good rig) then on using soft wear which can o... | |
| Berkeley dac1 versus Esoteric K-03 An interesting development for me. My puter was going into an esoteric clock/upsampler (G25U) and then into Berkeley DAC. The stand alone K03 blew that away but I have had two recent developments. One was to add the G25U (w/o clock engaged as inte... | |
| Berkeley dac1 versus Esoteric K-03 Jon,I would never use the USB out of my PC. Nor, would I ever use the usb input the dac. usb is the poorest interface you can use. USB was desgined to attach peripherals like mice and keyboards and printers and transmits data in packets, not strea... | |
| Berkeley dac1 versus Esoteric K-03 I was using a gateway computer (windows 7, JRiver 18, Jplay, ESI Juli@ sound card); 10 meter apogee spdif cable into an Esoteric G25U upsampler/clock - the clock went to the Berkeley via an AES/EBU Purist Audio Design 20th Anniversary digital cabl... | |
| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... The alternative to usb is a good sound card. If you study the USB porotcal, you will find that it transmits data in packets - not streams. That is the inherent problem. No one on earth can dispute that the usb bus teransmits data in packets. A sou... | |
| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... Drubin - guys getting into PC audio are using USB as they don't know any better. Lots of misinformation and companys trying to make a sale. I think anyone who truly understands computers, busses, etc can easilly understand why USB is not proper fo... |
