| Worlds best DAC Hi Mrtennis,I agree. Personally I only ever used the medea in FireWire mode with Amarra direct into various amps. The zanden adds to digital what my Yamamoto adds to the Medeas über clean untouched approach IMHO.Personally I want my audio untouche... | |
| Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers I was hoping someone would try the fist wat SIT amps with AG. Surely a worthy combination? I am tempted | |
| Worlds best DAC Weiss Medea plus will put most of the above to shame. The Vekian is over priced and approaching obsolete now. Sure the Orpheus will be up there too. But that Weiss (used with a FireWire mac) is the finest & purest digital sound I know. | |
| Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube? Hi Crubio,When you say lifeless do you mean not as magical as a 45 tube amp or do you mean dynamically not as lively?I am not a 300b fan so probably wouldn't go A09 way. I just wondered if I could get a 45 type sound from the A06? Retain that magi... | |
| Fuses that matter. I'm with Lacee here. If it makes a difference it makes a difference. You can read the white paper later.There is a curtain amount of "voicing" a system that comes from small tweaks which when all added together can bring a refinement you would oth... | |
| Fuses that matter. Byron,A semblance of a life? How could you possibly get on with your life when there are more fuses to test? What happend to that steely determination?lol.BTW you mentioned mundorf caps. I like the silver in oils and the silver gold in oil too, bu... | |
| Fuses that matter. Lol mapman,A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight & his punishment Is that he shall see the dawn before the rest of the world... Or something like that!Hang in there Geoff. My feeling is that if it works for you it works. All ... | |
| Fuses that matter. Poor cockroaches. Not sure if they noticed which direction the fuse was pointing either, but I (not a cockroach) have noticed a slight smearing when a fuse has been used one way then flipped around. I have noticed a similar sound when using a spea... | |
| Is the Mark Levinson 390S still a reference player Forget those old CD spinners. The ML is dark & grainy compared to later DACs. I'm with audiofreak. Forget CDs & move to HD playback. With the right DAC you can have zero jitter. | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Loving your tenacity Pettyofficer,All recent DACs do the sample rates you mention & will continue to do so. If you have a really old DAC that at best will do 44.1k, then you can dither down to that, while keeping the original file safe until y... | |
| Fuses that matter. Mapman,Your ARC Pre will reward you if you gave the fuse holder a clean (deoxit) & added a Hifi tuning fuse. Short of buying new music, probably the best way to blow $35 in your system IMHO. | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Pettyofficer,No! The high res download is different to the SACD &DVDA problems. As I explained, you do not need Specialist/elitest/expensive equipment to play high res files. That is why SACD suffered.The beauty now is everything can play thes... | |
| I have a buzz I am buzzing. I had high hopes for this thread. High hopes indeed. Now I am just humming.How loud is this noise? Is the noise noticeable only when youre close to the speakers? Try unpluging ICs (turn amp off 1st). Is the amp faulty? | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Pettyofficer,I think you need to assume that downloads will be at least the same as CD res. (if not MP3). If the vendor offers higher res for download then it will say the option 192/24 etc.Where I live the high st music & film stores are gone... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Petty,No you haven't been gripping about the lack of hi res. You have been gripping about losing formats that are likely to be left behind when in your opinion the replacement is not ready. & gripping how great every other format sounds in com... |
