| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices Many good ideas on this thread:https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forums/topic/30376-a-novel-way-to-massively-improve-the-sq-of-the-sms-200-and-microrendu/http:// | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices @goofyfoot From reviews it appears that the new ISO Regen is better than the old Regen. I have not tried any USB regenerator except for the similar functionality integrated into the Sonore microRendu. Dave,Prior to SOtM, I was using a microRendu a... | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices In that case you may want to add the ISO Regen to the list. There are a few reviews out there that compare it favorably to the USBultra. | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices I’m currently breaking in a SOtM tx USBultra in combination with their SMS-200Ultra Ethernet-to-USB streamer, SPS-500 DC power supply, and SOtM-modified D-Link Ethernet switch with a clock link to the SMS-200Ultra. The clocks in all of these are s... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 @gdhal From the Oppo 205 manual: "Due to copyright restrictions, SACD audio cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital audio output. To listen to SACDs, please use the HDMI or analog audio connections." "Due to bandwidth limitations, h... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Ozzy,I have a Tascam DA-3000 as well. How do you record an SACD to an SD card? The Oppo 205 outputs DSD over HDMI, but the DA-3000 doesn't have an HDMI input. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... ART7 at .12mV. I'm all in with two of them. | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Rich, great that you continue to support the Merlin community. As good as the VSM series was/is, I wish that Bobby had carried the model forward with a serious update with slam for larger rooms. One idea would be to add a couple more 6.5" drivers ... | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic @sstalwar & RichI don’t have a schematic for the BBAM. It’s a fairly simple circuit with capacitive filters and one AD744 op amp per signal phase. The Hovland coupling and filtering caps are easily surpassed. Replace them with best caps you ca... | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic A further thought about the BBAM. It allows one 6.5" driver to act as a time and phase coherent point source across a wide range from 2kHz down to 30Hz. This(together with the superb silk dome Dynaudio Esotar tweeter) is part of the charm of th... | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic The BBAM embellishes with augmentation well up into the mid-range region. You may find that removing it causes more problems than it solves. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Curious if Matt or anyone out there has tried or intends to compare any of these high-end servers to the "lightweight" alternative of an SOtM SMS-200 Ultra and tX-USBultra and NAS. So far I've had good luck with the NAS/microRendu approach, power... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 Just one 75ohm BNC cable from LiveClock Word Out to Tascam Word Sync In. Set LiveClock to 44.1kHz for DSD and to intermediate frequencies up to 192kHz for PCM. If you decide to purchase one, Sweetwater has great customer service. They also sell ... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 The Tascam has a Word Clock Sync 75ohm BNC input for connection to an external master clock, and a setting on the screen menu to switch from internal to external master clock. A higher precision master clock will improve both recording and playbac... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 If you want to take the DA-3000 further and can justify $900, synchronize its clock input to an external oven-controlled clock. To record at DSD128 I connect it to an Antelope LiveClock at 44.1kHz. This significantly improves both ADC and DAC sect... |
