| Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker - Sounds Worse? I haven’t used the Phoenix reclocker, so this is just opinion...but I have used many other reclocking devices over the years. I read the specs for the Diablo 300 DAC module, and its pretty slick. If you use the module’s USB input, I think you’re... | |
| Any feedback on Sam Laufer’s Memory Player? Glory - I've been using a Memory Player for the past 3 years and I really like it. I bought directly from Sam, but it was in from a previous buyer who was upgrading, so not the most recent model. I really like the sound - I think it sounds bette... | |
| I’m looking for an Digital XLR cable I'm using a custom digital cable made by Redco in Connecticut. The cable is made by Mogami (pro-audio) with XLR connectors made by Neutrik, but you can select from many brands under their "custom cables" tab. Sounds great, flexible, and it cost... | |
| How can i improve the sound of Iphone 11? epz,I've been using the Hidizs S9 dongle with an iPhone and I get great results. There are both single-ended and balanced outputs, and a lot of power. It sounds great and it also measures quite well.Dave | |
| CD v Streamed George,I've done some experiments with this. I've compared CDs from my collection that I've ripped to Tidal's version of the same recording. I've figured out a way to download from Tidal, then I look at the DRs calculated when I import the Tidal... | |
| Aries Cerat Helena or Mola Mola Tambaqui? Hello - I have not listened to either DAC, but from an engineering standpoint, they are quite different. I think the answer may be in what your musical source is.The Aries Helene uses 2 banks of Analog Devices AD1865 NK chips which can process... | |
| dithering JRiver output down to 18 bits Mike - Thanks for writing with the suggestion. After a bit of work, I agree that TPDF seems to do a very good job. Here's what I did to determine that.I installed the free Voxengo Span VST plugin into JRiver and put it at the end of the DSP cha... | |
| Recording Chord MScaler Output akwilson501,I love your idea, and it seems technically possible. And if you did it once, why not a second or third time, each time using that upscaled file as your new starting point. But maybe the files would be massive and use up too much memo... | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo jkscherk,I'm glad Aurender fixed this for you. I had a similar service experience with the team at Aurender - they're top notch. I used an Eitr for a while since my DAC didn't have a USB input, and the results were very good. I think for the p... | |
| Pops/clicks with Aurender N100H + McIntosh C47 combo jkscherk,I used an N100H for several years, and I never had a problem with clicks or pops, but I'm quite familiar with the settings. The Aurender runs on Linux, but the C47 manual doesn't specifically say that the C47 is Linux-compatible. This ... | |
