| Speaker input, which one, Magico, Avalon, Yg, Rock I have heard the YG's with the Spectrals and am still dreaming about it. | |
| Need Preamp Advice For Adding a Turntable I don't think you can better that preamp unless you go for their top of the line MKR for $18,000. Your current preamp is a sweet, silent preamp with loads of textures. Try it with a RHEA with a good tube selection but I would not get rid of it. Yo... | |
| MacBook Pro or PC soundcard I just thought of something. There are no cd transports with a USB output. They are all spdif (or aes/ebu). Plenty of "excellent" USB dacs, yet no transport mfg has gone with USB. Wonder why? We all know. It's just wrong ;) | |
| Berkeley DAC Series 1, anything better 2.5K$ I do as well. I had my server sounding pretty good but I have 400 hours or so on an esoteric K03 and cd does trump server with sacd quickly becoming my preferred, though did just order a faster modem since I figure the servers only use now is for ... | |
| Berkeley DAC Series 1, anything better 2.5K$ Sounds awesome. Seems there are 2 firmwears used by that dac. a newer one and an older one (1.39/1.41?); the rig I heard had the newer one which, I now understand, does not sound as good as the older one. Definitely enjoy that rig Sabai. | |
| Berkeley DAC Series 1, anything better 2.5K$ Sabai, if you are getting that from this DAC, that is just awesome. Enjoy it. | |
| What time do you wear? Thanks, Isochronism. I like UN alot and am thrilled to finally have one of his pieces. I have the Marine Maxi 1846 in silver with titanium. I cant wait to get another one! I was online at a store a while ago and the guy infront of me was wearing T... | |
| What time do you wear? I picked up a Ulysee Nardin a few months ago and couldn't be happier. Truly great watchmaker. | |
| MacBook Pro or PC soundcard Definitely agree it is getting beter. Just not there, yet. | |
| Specific question for BADA USB converter users. I have heard most every usb interface (including yours) and, regret, none have floated my boat. The usb to me sounds like a bag of cats on masses of strings at nice volume levels. The USB cannot disentaggle complex sounds. its too busy doing too m... | |
| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... The puter is definitely susceptable to noise but it is much easier to deal with than the USB interface's susceptablity to crappy sound, jitter, and the rest. I added a nice power cord, richard grey power conditioner, shatki stone on top of the cas... | |
| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... I have the ESI Julie@ soundcard; didnt hear the asus -I never heard of isolation being a benefit to USB; if anything, the 'isolation' creates its inherent problems.USB was created to hook up peripherials, not to play muic. | |
| Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ...... I think anything other than an spdif out via a sound card is a LARGE reduction in sound quality. Why would we go through the abomination of converting a usb signal into high end audio when you can have sound card doing it natively? USB in music is... | |
| Specific question for BADA USB converter users. Why not just spend $150 for an ESI Juli@ soundcard? It sounds much better than either USB converter at a fraction of the price. USB is NOT ready for prime time. | |
| Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system? I think the best kept secret in high end audio is how horrible internal crossovers are. I am running 2 Magtechs into Sanders Stats via a digital crossover and the sound (to me) is pretty incredible. I don't usually hear that kind of sound coming f... |
