| 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... | |
| Berkeley dac1 versus Esoteric K-03 I have. I have a Berkeley DAC for maybe 2 years now and picked up the K03 1st week of august. I am very close to completing breakin (if not there already). The K03 trumps the Berkeley in EVERY way imaginable. It extracts more information from a di... | |
| Crystal Disc Yep - remember, as hard as we try and as much as we spend, we can NEVER overcome the 44.1k limitation of redbook audio. | |
| Cause of different sound between dacs Of course. I was thrilled when I got the berkeley; I was more thrilled when I got the G25U upsampler/clock BUT the K03 brings it to another level. Layers and layers of info I did not hear before - but it sounds like it belongs there and should be ... | |
| Esoteric K-03 The soundstage is fineand not forward. The row changes with the recording. Like I said, you just have to hear it. | |
| MacBook Pro or PC soundcard Doggie - my point is USB is just bad. If it were good, transports may use them. You have to agree the idea of a transport implementing a jitter collector like USB is crazy. USB is like a bellybutton. Eveybody has one. Lets not confuse the industri... | |
| Cause of different sound between dacs I was very surprised at how much better my K03 sounds, compared to my Berkeley Alpha Dac (1st one). It has much more detail, more resolution, deeper/wider soundstage - I can go on and on - it was just 'better' in every plane. I am thinking power s... | |
| Need Preamp Advice For Adding a Turntable I actually think the Ayre you have sounds better than the ARC. I just picked up a pair of magtech amps and they are amazing. Not assure if they're in your budget but I would try them if they are. Not sure on other phono preamps in the $2,500 range... | |
| Esoteric K-03 I just passed 525 hours (yippie!) on my K03 and I haven't noticed any inherent sound. Its still breaking in (SACD right now for a few hundred hours...) and its as quiet as Justin Bieber when the DEA is boarding his tour bus. I did just walk over a... | |
| Speaker input, which one, Magico, Avalon, Yg, Rock Vicksburg,It was a friend of an associate at his very large apartment. I was very impressed as I never get surprised by gear like that. Well, once when I was a kid, which I am still paying for. | |
| MacBook Pro or PC soundcard Doggie, they use those interfaces because they are better than spdif. Notice how they absolutely keep away form usb as that would be just silly. I thank the highend transport world in helping make my point. USB is just sily, | |
| Speaker input, which one, Magico, Avalon, Yg, Rock They were the Kipods and it was such a huge, wide, deep soundstage I could have dove off my chair into it. I was incredibly jealous as it was so much deeper and wider than what I have. It went on forever. Not harsh at all but I goota say, I rememb... | |
| How to protect turntable from children? You can pick up some of those dog shock collars and put them on each kid. You can also us scat mats and charge them up with, say, 10 volts at a half an amp. That should do it. | |
