| Cable thoughts luvrockin,I feel your pain. Consider contacting Albert Porter (long standing member here) and see if he can help. He is brutally honest, remarkably experienced, and beyond all, a pleasure to know. Dave | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices Hi Tim,Sounds good on re:September, etc. I am currently on a path of trying another very good (and returnable) USB cable in lieu of the Regen or other such device to see if that will hit the sweet spot in providing the last vestige of harmonic tex... | |
| power for mc452 and c2600 It appears at this point maybe the OP is asking the same question over and over until he gets the answer he wants, regardless of numerous and clearly stated opinions of those with extended experience to the contrary.Dave | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD klh007,Whether he did or not (honestly, I am not sure whether his last post is just saracasm or not), he did bring up a good potential opportunity to further improve the Comet’s sound - vibration control. I tend toward using conductors to transfer... | |
| DAC with multiple selective digital inputs Re: Oppo, oh no, not again. It is what it is and it ain't what it ain't.Dave | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices Hey Tim, we good. My situation is somewhat different. I use an Aurender server/renderer/streamer in lieu of a Laptop/Desktop "PC-type" source. All are computers, but the claim to fame of the former is that the storage is optimized for audio (HHDs/... | |
| power for mc452 and c2600 ^^^Power products that use choke devices also choke the current. IMO, proper modern designs do not use chokes but other superior technologies for surge protection/power "conditioning" and therefore do not restrict current, especially important wit... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Excellent post VPI. Keep spinnin' :)Dave | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini Also, within DACs there is a process where the 1) noise, RF/EMI, etc coming in on the digital data stream and is (hopefully) cleaned up a bit and 2) the bits are reconstructed to simulate an analog waveform in order to output an analog signal to t... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini Hi dogmcd, I appreciate your clarification of your questions concerning the causals for audible differences in digital cables. I will try to stay with what I have learned from cable masters so far. Re: Ethernet cables, the ultimate speed of transm... | |
| How much does DAC ‘Reality’ cost in 2017? Hi Falcon,The improvements you describe with the addition of the Holo Audio Spring DAC are compared to what other source? From reading the last paragraph of your post it appears that this is not (yet) vs your Ayre C-5xemp, so is the comparison to ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Back to tommylion’s posts re: the use of digital 75ohm terminator caps, I tried a BNC 75ohm terminator on the unused BNC input of my Exogal DAC and could hear no audible improvement. Tried a RCA 75ohm terminator cap ($1) on my Modwright5400ES play... | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices Thanks for the feedback goofyfoot. Let us know which was you go and your impressions. After experiencing fantastic results with the Purist Audio Ehternet cable, I decided to go with their 30th Anniversary USB cable in lieu of a regen type gizmo (a... | |
| DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices Hi Tim, I did visit the Uptone website before posting and it remained unclear to me re: the differences between the past vs current USB Regen and the current USB Regen vs the ISO Regen (excepting the power supply in the latter case, which has two ... | |
| A new take on built in room treatments? Square rooms are beyond correction with passive absorption devices in my experience (perhaps can be better addressed with active room correction?) and I have yet to see a room that did not benefit from proper acoustical treatment. Admittedly, I ha... |
