| Advice Needed: Bluesound Node vs Vault If the OP hasn't made his/her purchase yet, they may want to consider this: https://www.bluesound.com/products/vault-2/Yes it's recertified as opposed to new, but it's much closer to the price of a Node, and has the Vault's ease of ripping. | |
| For those of us over 60.. Paul Simon! Great question. | |
| Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review Very confusing thread. The Stereophile (source) article says:"Though Mytek ultimately chose an amplifier module from the Danish company Pascal A/S, it's far from an off-the-shelf version. "We use one Pascal," Jurewicz wrote, "but the module is... | |
| How to tell if a CD is Encoded? That's a good start -- I have never seen this topic described using visual analogies, and it is much easier to understand the concept that way. Thanks again! | |
| How to tell if a CD is Encoded? Fascinating -- thanks for the explanation. Can you recommend a good book that covers these topics? | |
| How to tell if a CD is Encoded? If a disc says "Remastered in DSD", doesn't that mean the contents of the disc are encoded in DSD? If not, we really need to establish a lexicon.@folkfreak -- you said you "listen to my red book upsampled to dual DSD" -- I don't understand. If a... | |
| How to tell if a CD is Encoded? Thanks for the response folkfreak-- I did know that Redbook was the original CD standard format, at 16/44.1 (Sony-Phillips 1980), but I thought that some more recent recordings were being pressed to disc in higher density/bitrate formats, such as... | |
| How to tell if a CD is Encoded? Thanks Erik and folkfreak! The discs do say "Compact Disc Digital Audio", so it sounds like they're PCM. Probably Redbook, but there may be no way to tell. I didn't realize CD's were exclusively PCM, or that DSD was only done on DVD's; good to ... | |
| How to tell if a CD is Encoded? That should have been HOW, not IF — thank you, Apple auto-correct… | |
| Speaker Help +1 on the Vandy 2wq subs with either the Vandy 2’s or Treos. You may be able to find a pair of used Treos for $3500. If so, I would get them first, and then save your money for the 2wq’s somewhere down the road. I have a DNA-1 too, and that i... | |
| Wear glasses? Play cds? Own PEEPS? @geoffkait — I just went off and searched through Amazon to find George’s review, but was very disappointed. There is no bad review from anyone named George; please don’t get my hopes up!!! | |
| Questions about digital audio output from iPhones Thanks for your responses folks! does anyone have a hypothesis on what controls the output format? Is it the format in which you store the file on your iPhone, or is there a conversion that takes place inside the iPhone so that everything is se... | |
| Questions about digital audio output from iPhones I have found the adapter to work well. My DAC shows the input as 16/48. Not 16/44? I would have thought Redbook was possible (assuming you had it stored that way on the iPhone), but I've never seen a 16/48 PCM format. | |
| OPPO or Something Else? I don’t understand Steve’s comments (@audioengr), but I’ll throw in my 2cents. I think it’s important to distinguish between using the Oppo as just a "transport" (ie, a disc player that outputs a digital stream to the coax or optical output), vs ... | |
| Can an HDMI output be converted into something a USB input would accept? Thanks for the responses, folks -- I'm afraid this ship won't float. @whart you may be right, but the Cambridge tech support people said it was a "DSD" signal, so I assumed they meant unencrypted DSD -- you know what happens when you assume. It ... |
