| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Makes sense to me. Computer to the router is "wireless". However router to the DAC is through an ethernet cable. So the switch would be placed between the router and DAC. Would the switch improve the sound quality? Listening will decide that. Cha... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Jeff,If you decide to try this product let me know how it works out in your system.Charles | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I had the opportunity to hear the Bricasti SE and Total DAC d1 6 comparision in Jeff’s (JWM) system. I did not personally find the performance gap as wide as Jeff describes between the two highly regarded DACs. I am in agreement with the Bricasti ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Very good discussion on this worthwhile topic of vibration/resonance management. There are no shortage of products available that's for sure. I happen to use the Star Sound Apprentice platforms under all of my components and speakers. They are ve... | |
| DACs and bass response? Stuartk,Interesting, changing cables resolved the bass issue. Are you referring to the digital, power cable or interconnect? I’ve heard the Aqua Hifi Formula DAC and was very impressed. I’m sure you’re hearing excellent sound with your DAC. Congr... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,Merry Christmas to you and your family. Charles | |
| DACs and bass response? That Arte Forma SET amplifier seems like a very high tier no nonsense effort. No doubt that it is exceptionally honest, open, transparent and natural in its sonic character. I suspect it is quite capable of revealing the fine nuances of the variou... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,We're you using A or C weighted scale for your readings? Curious as C weighted will measure roughly 8 to 10 db higher at a given volume if a meter allows switching between the two scales. I use C weighted/fast scale.Charles | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Aolmrd1241,Thank you for your reply, well that’s quite an endorsement of the DMP relative to the PWT. What has kept me happy with the PWT all these years is its ability to present music in such a natural manner. In conjunction with my Yamamoto D... | |
| DACs and bass response? Stuartk, Reading various post by listeners who’ve heard the Benchmark Dacs some have described them as having a "thin" or somewhat clinical sound character. Subjective to be sure and some listeners love its sonic character.If at all possible liste... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi nitrobob,Regarding the heavy cigarette smokers,There will always be outliers found in any group or population. I'm not surprised by the absence of condescending replies, there are many good folks on this thread. You'll find a speaker that will... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC aolmrd1241, I’ve used the PWT the past 7 years and it has been simply excellent playing CDs through my Yamamoto YDA-1 DAC. So it seems that you find the PS Audio DMP a further advancement of the terrific PWT?Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi nitrobob,To be clear, obviously it's your call as to how loud a volume you prefer listening to music, no argument. You are correct, certain people seemingly defy known or established risk factors. For example the person who smoked a pack of ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Teajay,Essentially we’re making the same point. I understand the desire of some listeners who like to as they put it "crank it up". If this is done only occasionally then probably little harm to one's hearing ability .In my own experience I’ve... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay,Regarding the preferred listening volumes of nitrobob I feel the same as James. Some things just are self evident in life. Sheer common sense would dictact that listening regularly at 110 SPL is most certainly risking permanent hearing loss... |
