| Good old 2ch versus multi-ch, what to do? Forget multichannel, if you want the "sound is all arround you" gimmic just pop Roger Waters Amused to Death into a good two channel system and get the multichannel urge out of your system. | |
| Any CDP with digitial INPUT to be used as DAC? One of the Best in the world. Built in Passive volume as an option as well. | |
| Tube Tech Fulcrum Transp/DAC & MSB Platinum Ref CD From your sound preference list you will be very happy with the MSB Platinum. It is a very neutral, very detailed DAC with sweet, smooth, non fatiguing presentation at all frequencys. | |
| Electrocompaniet ECD-1 vs. MSB Platinum Dacs I haven't listened to the Electrocompaniet, however I do know that it uses a Delta Sigma (averaging) DAC and that the Platinum uses a custom ladder (direct conversion) DAC. Also the Platinum has an upsampler that upsamples to an exact multiple ins... | |
| SACD - M. Davis - So What You have hit smack into one of two problems fundamental to SACD, muddy fluctuating bass and poor high frequency articulation. Poor stability in the analog conversion results in rounded fluctuating very low frequencys while fundamental restrictions... | |
| Good Article CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-A SACD sounds better than most CDs because the technology used to record in SACD is the same as CDs today. In fact most of the SACD converters that I have seen are based on the same single bit Delta Sigma A/Ds as are used in most PCM converter boxes... | |
| MSB Platinum Link Dac? Does it do great things? that depends on what you think "great things" are. If you want stunning clarity, detail, dynamics, and reproduction that is true to the recording then it is for you. If you want your music to be colored in some way or you ... | |
| DVD-A Question I think that MSB Technology has some sort of special digital output that they can install into DVDA players that will output 24/192 audio. I heard this system hooked up to one of their Platinum DACs and it sounded pretty good. | |

| SACD WINS! SACD still has roughly 5 bits of resolution at 100Khz while conventional PCM is limited to the niquist frequency of half its sampling rate, 22.05Khz for a CD. The Nyquist frequency for SACD is also half of its sampling rate, 1.4Mhz. | |
| SACD WINS! P.S. the resolution of a system is easily calculated. For PCM represented with binary numbers you can figure the resolution by raising 2 to the number of bits in a single word. An 8 bit system has 256 possible levels, a 16 bit system has 65,536 po... | |

| SACD WINS! SACD does not have more resolution than 24/96 material or even a CD at 16 bit/44.1k. SACD is a pulse averaging system that is IDENTICAL to a 1 bit Delta Sigma DAC at 64X oversampling (44100Hz * 64 = 2,822,400Hz.) The problem with 1 bit DACs, or SA... |
