| I need help with my Equipment addiction Do what I did. Volunteer to serve Thanksgiving dinner to the homeless. I haven't thought about an upgrade since then. | |
| CD Player Under $1.5k With Vinyl Sound I really feel (no disrecpect intended) the only viable suggestion here is the Ayre. Digital is pretty poor, unless you get something very special-and digital is still very dependent on isolation, PC, IC, line conditioning and system symetry. You m... | |
| Sound Comparison of an Ayre CX7e vs. BAT D5 Yes. Lower priced of the Esoterics. | |
| Sound Comparison of an Ayre CX7e vs. BAT D5 Go for an Esoteric. I have heard both and the low end DV-60 (which puts your dollars towards a DVD player) easilly bested both. Rig was very revealing, B&W 800D, Classe Omega, Tara Labs The One. Just too digital for me.Of course, thats just my... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF I don't think it's the bus. Are you ripping with EAC into flac? | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Arj,Thank YOU for the tps. I just upped my buffer and bypassed mixer as well and soundstage appears deeper. I will do some A/P listening but, so far, think its a go. Think your issue is the cable and/or power supply. Please report back when you ch... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Arj,One more-from Maudio ManualIMPORTANT: The FireWire Solo comes with a high-quality six-pin to six-pin FireWire cable. We stronglysuggest you use this cable, or one of equal quality, for optimum audio performance. If your computer isequipped wit... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Arj,Pls also check your buffer size in the MAudio control panel. I use 512. Sync source is internal and spdif output source is set to mixer. I don't have the "disable direct monitoring" box checked. I am using WASAPI and JRiver 13. | |
| Firewire to SPDIF My solo sounded good out of the box. I don't recall a difference after break in. I run my firewire streight into the gateway motherboard (Intel w/southbridge chipset). I don't use a firewire card. Are you using the power supply for the solo or tak... | |
| Want McIntosh sound, but can't afford the MDA1000? I couldn't agree with Brianmgracom more. We had a post a while ago where someone advised just how bad their experience was with a compoent, but wouldn't say what brand it was as they didn't want to hurt the manufacturer. What possible benefit coul... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 I cannot comment on the Bryson as I have not heard. Obviously, transport, cables, PC, line conditioners and music format and interface (coax, usb, toslink) should/could make a difference. When you say you don't have the 75 ohm cable, do you mean y... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF I think Vista is a huge improvement over the prior microsoft os. Must cleaner, faster and I have been using for 2 years and have never blue screened - meaning computer got stuck in an application, needed to be rebooted, etc. I have heard from my I... | |
| $300 Budget - help Grab it. Won't do much better for the price - new. | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Rabanni,I always built my own computers (never was a Mac guy) but got tired of it and purchased a gateway 2 years ago. Went a bit overboard spending $5,000 (it is a screamer) but I do photography so wanted the fastest available (CPU, HD and RAM) s... | |
| Modification Nightmares My issue with modding is simple-shipping and having my product in modders care, custody and control. Not worth the hassle to me. Once my gear gets in my sound room safely - it stays there.Insurance in shipping is very difficult to recover after a ... |
