| Firewire to SPDIF Arj,I just did some poking around. The Compaq PCMCIA card may be an isue as well. I'm assuming device manager doesn't show any issues. I'm not familiar with the technology on the interface but I would speculate, perhaps, a better card may help? I'... | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Arj,That is very strange. I haven't any issues with smoothness. I am running Vista service pak 2 (32 bit) and using the M Audio drivers, and no issues. I do have a pretty beefed up PC. Maybe the power supply is the issue. I used the power supply w... | |
| 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. |
