New, Very Interesting CD Transport Can you cancel oversampling in your Shanling EC3 transport? Well, I found a setting in the menu that suggests that it can upsample CDs. But it definitely has a "Bypass" setting that shows 16/44.1 output. It’s kind of confusing figuring out the... | |
New, Very Interesting CD Transport Can you cancel oversampling in your Shanling EC3 transport? It is important to any Chord DAC that has its own oversampling processing algorithm. It is non-oversampling for CD Playback. When using it as a WiFi streamer I know you can stream hig... | |
New, Very Interesting CD Transport I received my Shanling EC3 yesterday. So, it’s nowhere near broken in yet. I’ve been playing it no more than 2 hours. I should have run it all night on mute, but forgot to. First impressions... well made, nice form factor, easy quick start for CD... | |
New, Very Interesting CD Transport Relevance to this thread, pindac????? | |
New, Very Interesting CD Transport am considering the Jay’s CDT2-MK3. " It is really as good as everyone says. I kind of got carried away. I bought the Cambridge CXC locally for $250 and really liked it. So naturally I had to try the Audiolab 6000CDT. It too sounded really good ... | |
New, Very Interesting CD Transport I have one on order for delivery on Tuesday or Wednesday. I’ll report back then. By the way... I’ve owned a Cambridge Audio CXC, an Audiolab 6000CDT and a Jay’s Audio CDT2-MK3 in the past year. So, it will be interesting to see how this sounds. ... | |
Upgraded from Node to 432-evo-aeon-music-server and its another world sonically The retailer should never have requested that the OP post a review here. This is sleazy - the retailer should know that. Perception is a powerful consideration and in this case I don't trust the review knowing it was retailer prompted. Besides, ... | |
Streaming through upconverting DAC - can I even improve audio quality? But here's the thing: so far, just using free Spotify 44.1 redbook quality, Where did you get that info? It's totally incorrect. Spotify doesn't offer any redbook ouput. They have nothing but lossy streaming at a max of 320kbs. And the free se... | |
Any experience with Magna Mano Ultra MkIII streamer I’m looking for something I can run Squeezebox LMS on. Both the Holo Audio Red Streamer and the SOtM SMS200 Ultra Neo (and the lessor model SMS200) have LMS support built in. The Red is a $850 streamer, the SMS200 Ultra Neo is $1,200. The SMS... | |
Gustard R26 - good but not the one I ended up getting a Chord Hugo TT2 and I'm very happy with the sound improvement over the Qutest. To me, it's a great sounding piece of equipment. I realize folks didn't like me preferring the Qutest over the R26. I said lots of nice things abou... | |
Upgrading my streaming/digital system- what would make the most sense? I used to output USB from my IMac to my DAC... Sounded OK to me. Then I got a SOtM SMS200 Ultra network streamer to feed my DAC. Everything opened up more and became both better controlled and Wider/Deeper at the same time. Every once and awhile,... | |
Let's Talk DAC's The Chord Qutest is available used for $1,500 or less. It’s a wonderful DAC and a solid step up from your Chordette Qute HD. It combines all the features and sound quality you are looking for. Plus, it’s a perfect upgrade and stopping point on you... | |
Gustard R26 - good but not the one i love the qutest too, but the two, at their best (qutest with lps), to my ear, are close in absolute sound quality, with the qutest being a touch more holographic but ever so slightly leaner through the midbass, more solid in the deep bass Yep... | |
Gustard R26 - good but not the one Personally, I would not publish any digital component review without putting 500 hours on it first. I agree, I didn't intend to make a review as such and would not with only 48 hours of constant use. My comments are solely a reflection of my i... | |
Gustard R26 - good but not the one @tiggerfc I do realize that perhaps much more break in could have certainly made a difference. What I didn't think was that 100-200 hours would vault the R26 past my Qutest. And, I didn't want a new $1500 DAC that just was as good as what I've bee... |
