| Best neutral aes/ebu cable for transport - DAC I can suggest the Acoustic Zen MC2 AES/EBU. I am using this with the Theta Carmen II and the Theta Casanova Pre. Ordered at 1.25 m length. Very transparent with excellent resolution and soundstage. | |
| bel canto and wyred 4 sound I am using my ST-500 with Pure Note (TRS audio) Alluvion XLRs. These proved to be an excellent match between my w4s DAC2 and ST-500. Look for low capacitance XLRs with mostly air-spaced conductors. The Alluvions are cryo treated silver-palladium r... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STI-500 Breakin Time I also have the DAC2 directly driving the ST-500 via balanced. I think you may need more than 100 hrs for the DAC2 to burn in. Also after some time you can tweak the STI by changing the two fuses on the modules. There is one on each. I changed min... | |
| What power cable for DAC? If you like diy, you can put together your own pc. I have a W4S Dac2 and after reading alot on the merits of single crystal upocc copper, I tried some solutions from Neotech. I ended up getting a 4 ft NEP-3003 (13 awg) Cryo treated upocc and termi... | |
| Anyone done a DIY PC with Neotech NEP-3001 wire? I am in the same boat. I want to build a pc for my DAC and was thinking of the NEP-3002 or the Tunami, both being Ohno type copper wires. From various comments I have heard the Neotech can be very smooth with black background. What Furutech ends d... | |
| J River Vs. Media Monkey Do they sound different Based on the reading I have done, with Wasapi-event-style you need to have the wordlength pre-set to 24 bit, which is what the dac expects.Initially I did not know about this and the Jriver would play for a few seconds and then cause my pc to cras... | |
| J River Vs. Media Monkey Do they sound different I have the same setup as above (W4S Dac2 and JRiver 15).Initially I was using K.Streaming which sounded good. Later J.River released a mode called "wasapi event style", which is what I use now with Win7 64 running on a solid state disc.KS sounds a... | |
| HDMI Switchers Also look at Octava.Bought the 5x1 hdmi switch and works great. It has an equalizing function and passed 1080pover a 12 m Wireworld HDMI perfectly.Cheers, | |
| TAS and the Martin Logan Source I also agree with the above positive comments.When I first bought them I was between MG12's and the Sources. I had auditioned the MG12's and was really impressed with them. Space restrictions and WAF made me go for the Source and have not regrette... | |
| Cables for Wyred 4 Sound STI-500 Not exactly STI-500, but I use the W4S DAC2 directly connected balanced to the ST-500.For cables I am using Pure Note Alluvions XLR from DAC to amp and DH-Labs Q10 from the ST500 to my Martin Logan Sources. Very detailed and tranparent sound with ... | |
| Best budget $300 Balanced IC Recommendation I will second the Pure Note Alluvion. It is exactly at the upper limit you refer (at least for now). I recently bought the balanced version to use between my W4S DAC2 and W4S ST-500. Still burning them (currently I am at about 150 hrs) but these a... | |
| Wyred DACS Right now the amp drives a pair of ML-Sources due to space restrictions. I also have a pair of older yet wonderful ML SL3s but at a different location which I would like to try with the w4s one day. I am sure it will do fine.Granted that the littl... | |
| Wyred DACS New here but have been following this thread for a while. I also have the DAC2 and tried the JR with XP however, using KS and have been thinking to buy the full license. It is very musical, relaxed and very resolving I may add.My setup is:XP with ... | |
| DH Labs Revelation vs. Pure Note Alluvion? Bump...Anyone? |
