| Which High Res releases are worth buying? Linda Rondstadt "Whats New" on HD Tracks in 24/192 is absolutely spectacular. | |
| which output setting sounds best? I don't think it matters. You are not getting anywhere near a decent signal with the USB/HRT. It is all veiled anyway. Doubt you will hear a difference. | |
| All things Must Pass- High Rez Download SQ ? I downloaded Linda Ronstadt, Whats New off HD Tracks in 192/24 and it sounds absolutely incredible. I have the vinyl and the CD and the hi res download contains so much more information, its boggling. | |
| Is berkeley dac as good as absolute sound review? As I said earlier, I have a Berkeley as well as an Esoteric X03 SE. Interestingly, my computer where my squeezebox server resides experienced some toasted ram to go with a toasted cpu when I installed the Juli@ so I have been listening to the Esot... | |
| Apple TV vs Squeezebox touch The Touch is easy, cheap, sounds great and plays hi res music! up to 96k/24 off a usb stick. sounds incredible. | |
| Esoteric K03 I think you mean me with the Shakti's, Primare. I have stats so I don't really have any first order or side reflections and its a small room so I only have the shaktis in each corner with an echo buster 4/2 behind each shakti. You can actually hea... | |
| Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch Ronrags, it all depends on what kind of gear you have, how revealing, etc. You should experience a tad more in dynamics and more of a 3d sound holographic soundstage. You really need a good dac to get the sound out of a touch. I reclock and upsamp... | |
| Is berkeley dac as good as absolute sound review? I have it and love it and the review is very accurate. It really does it right. I have an Esoteric X03SE and using it as a transport into the berkeley for HDCD is a revelation. I don't think the review mentioned how well an HDCD encoder it is. And... | |
| Esoteric K03 I thought I saw a K-03 thread Please be prepared for well over 1,000 hours for break in. Don't start thinking it is too bright or analytical. It needs major breakin. Seriously. | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Easy decision for me - a Bauer Audio DPS Table ($10k - incredible sound) and a schroeder arm ($4-5k). $15k and nothing much out there will beat it within $30 grand.Seriously. | |
| Help me build a fine PC sound system My PC goes via squeezebox into an Esoteric upconverter/clock into a berkeley dac direct to my amps. It sounds great. But, better than vinyl? I still have not found that but will keep listening. | |
| Help me build a fine PC sound system Steve, I don't know how you can possibly defend USB with an argument about how a TAS reviewer uses it as a reference. I listen with my own ears. TAS also gave a great review to the Berkeley - actually saying that the berkeley/usb/berkeley dac blew... | |
| Help me build a fine PC sound system Steve, My opinion is NOT based on misinformation that I have read on forums. I am a hard core PC user, have 30 years experience and have custom built over 30 machines - all cutting edge. I ahve also been an audiophile for that many years and have ... | |
| Help me build a fine PC sound system Steve,USB was neber designed for audio. That's a basic premis. Data is transmitted in packets - not good for an audio signal. USB is just another example of trying to make ther best out of something not very good.I have not heard the Berkeley, but... | |
| Help me build a fine PC sound system I am a firm believer that USB sucks and was just never intended for audio. The new Berkeley appears to be the first to finally get around USB's technical inferiority. I look forward to a listen of a mac mini and the berkeley USB interface. |
