| Review: Wyred4Sound Remedy Reclocker Oops. Thanks Erik, I stand corrected on this. I took a much more careful look at Wyred4Sound's stats and indeed, even though they call the clock "femto-grade," it actually measures out to about 87pS on their Apple TV source, so I suppose they real... | |
| Wyred4Sound - Do clocks age? As promised, my review is up, for better or worse. It’s over in the ambiguously titled "Member Reviews" section of the forum. (Does this mean reviews by members, or reviews OF members?). | |
| Wyred4Sound - Do clocks age? So have any of you received your Remedy reclockers yet, and have you had a chance to listen? I began writing about my experience with it (it's doing some very nice things in my system) but haven't posted it yet because it has turned into a full-bl... | |
| Just starting with high-res music files The one hi-res purchase I've made so far has been equally disappointing: The Moody Blues' "Days of Future Past." I own it on LP and CD both, with the LP dating back to its initial release (yeah, I'm that old!). I vastly prefer the CD version, as I... | |
| Just starting with high-res music files Good question, Jafant. I downloaded the files to Windows 10 through HDtracks.com's proprietary download engine (it downloads when you sign up with them). In Windows 10 which I'm also using, these files download to This PC/Music. You can probably c... | |
| Considering buying a CD transport Nutty, thanks for the information. I did some poking around and couldn't find any reference to a twin-laser assembly in my 751BD in the owner's manual. The very detailed 6 Moons Audio review (http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/cambridge/1.html) ma... | |
| Has anyone connected their favorite transport through the OPPO 105 for comparison ? I would be tempted to go the opposite direction and use the Oppo as a transport through a different high-end DAC. This would make a more noticeable difference. However, if you like the sound of the Oppo then probably an upgraded transport will enh... | |
| Considering buying a CD transport I’d like to try this sort of connection, but of course the CA 751BD doesn’t have AES/EBU capability. I’m going to try a comparatively inexpensive upgrade option just as an experiment: Wyred4Sound’s reclocker. Hasn’t arrived yet, but stay tuned... ... | |
| Considering buying a CD transport Here’s the present hookup: Nordost digital coax between the CA and the Bryston DAC, Audioart XLR between DAC and amp, plus Clarus Aqua RCAs between the CA and the amp for the express purpose of playing SACDs (the Bryston DAC doesn’t handle DSD). P... | |
| Considering buying a CD transport Thanks again for the opinions and advice. I'm actually pretty fond of my Bryston DAC with its pure class A output circuits. It's a huge step up from the DACs I've had (including a PS Audio DL III with mods). (I may even someday consider a BDA3, ... | |
| Considering buying a CD transport Thanks for the suggestions so far. I was hoping to avoid going the music-server route at least for now even though I know it's the wave of the future (if not the present) and may very well give me the quality I'm seeking. Since I'm a former managi... | |
| HESITANT with NEW member sellers I share the general trepidation about zero-feedback sellers, but we all had to start somewhere. One way to establish a good reputation (IMO) is to begin by being a buyer rather than a seller if possible, and showing yourself to be a reliable one. ... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I think there's a recent shift in emphasis on what high-end audio manufacturers are making, which may leave some of us old troglodytes (64 in my case) behind. Flavor-of-the-month seems to be music streaming as opposed to physical media, the latter... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? Good news: a dealer in my area has recently started carrying Proac, which gives me an incentive to audition the D20Rs in the near future. I'm looking forward to hearing them. It seems a lot of dealers dropped the Proac line in recent years because... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? Thanks for the response (no pun intended), badri. I hope to hear the D20Rs one day, assuming I can find a ProAc dealer within a day's drive of here. I'm still using my Hegel H200 integrated which definitely keeps a tight grip on the bass, but that... |
