| What are we really trying to replicate? I haven't invested tens of thousands of dollars so that I can play that vinyl record that was made poorly, but, rather, to listen to the music that was recorded exceptonally well. I think that we "audiophiles" concentrate on the better recordings.... | |
| Anyone tried the Benchmark I have a Benchmark Dac1 (non-usb) with the HD 650's. I primarilly use the Benchmark with my Squeezebox. The Benchmark, in my system, on very good recordings, sounds very, very good. It is not thin, bright or analytical. I also have an Esoteric X03... | |
| which Brand of Reciever produces the Best Audio? I 2nd the NAD. I have the T775 and it absolutely blew my Pioneer Elite VSX92THX AWAY. Blew away every Denon, Sony ES, Onkyo and Yamaha as well. $3,000 but worth every penny. No frills and no video nonsense other than passing through a perfect sign... | |
| ASIO/ JRiver versus Windows Media Cool. Enjoy listening. I am actually pretty amazed at how good my PC sounds. | |
| ASIO/ JRiver versus Windows Media On my rig, Gateway dual core, 4 gigs ram, windows 7 - windows media sounds flat, undeminsenional, pretty poor. I have firewire going into am M-audio solo spidf converter-into Monarchy DIP Upsampler, into XDAC V3with PSU into a Cayin A50T/B&M 6... | |
| Is the Transporter gone out of production forever? I have he SB3 with CI power supply, revelation audio embelical going into a Benchmark DAC (nordost silver shadow digital cable) - any reason to upgrade to a transport? Would it sound better going into the benchmark than what I already have? or, be... | |
| Benchmark dac and AntelopeAudio Isochrone OCX Digi The external clock cannot improve the jitter of the internal clocks; it locks them to the same reference frequency. See Alex' post in digital-esoteric clocks. | |
| Benchmark dac and AntelopeAudio Isochrone OCX Digi Kristian, I don't think the clock would effect the jitter, rather stabalize the clocks timing. I read that adding the antelope to the benchmark is equivilent to a $5,000 dac. I'm trying to et better sound from the benchmark. Jitter isn't a problem... | |
| Benchmark dac and AntelopeAudio Isochrone OCX Digi I do mean the OCX. I believe it will clock on spidf in & out-read it on computeraudiophile. Not looking to chuck the squeezebox. I have a Benchmark and understand it does not have a clock input. | |
| Good amps for Thiel CS 3.7 speakers? You shouldn't use cables as tone controls. If you want warmer, get different gear, not different cables. | |
| Technical Question It's (video) all moot if you don't have a very good display. Like speakers and av gear, if your system isn't revealing, you won't hear certain differences. So, if you don't have a very good dislay, you may not see the difference between the 80 and... | |
| Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC? I have been exclusively using Shunyata PC's for the past 6 or 7 years. I had started with the sidewinder, coperhead and moving up to the Tai Pan, then Python, and, recently, Anaconda. The sidewinders/copperheads were marginally better than my sign... | |
| Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems? Gtfour, From the onset I have said that I would not support MF "no matter how good their gear sounds". My choice to not support a company who failed me. The fact that they failed many, many others isn't my issue, though does support it-and cannot ... | |
| Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems? Gtfour-Ahhh...hostility? No. Just decided to never support Musical Filelity ever again. (That is my decision-and, last I checked, 60% of thhe kW's are door stops-pretty high failure rate for a great company who's only "fault" is that they got hood... | |
| Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems? Gtfour, please make sure you post when your kW stops working. It's only a matter of time. Good luck. |
