| DAC burn in question Thanks. I knew the current draw is a function of the impedance of the circuit connceted to the output. Just was not sure if this impedance changes when the amp is switched off. | |
| DAC burn in question That is precisely my question? Do I need to keep the amp powered on yes or no? | |
| Wanted: NHT X2 electronic crossover. I have one for sale. I kept it in storage just in case I ever needed it again, but this probability is now close to zero. | |
| Looking for a DAC that has.. Even if 4 parallel dacs processing one channel are 16 bit, they would all be processing the same 16 bits, and on 96/24 material, 8 bits would get lost. | |
| ps audio silent server Semantics. The silent server is actually a dedicated computer. | |
| ps audio silent server This is why it is called a silent server. PS audio is absolutely silent on the server. | |
| Looking for a DAC that has.. I think you're making some good moves and are heading in the right direction. I was intrigued by the new Metrum DAC (the HEX) myself, but some guy on the whatsbestforum is suggesting they are probably using a 16 bit DAC chip (TI DAC8580) which is ... | |
| PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction The fuse sits in the AC circuit .... I go along with the alleged efficacy of a lot of hard to rationalize tweaks, if someone says they hear a difference. But directionality of a fuse in an AC circuit goes too far even for me. | |
| Anyone tried the Metrum Hex DAC? I have an inquiry into the US distributor, but so far they have not called me back not responded to my email. I'm considering putting one up against my PS audio Perfectwave MKII just for kicks. | |
| The New PS Audio PWD MKII With USB the DAC works flawlessly like any other DAC. Network streaming with the bridge is a little trickier, but if you stick with JRiver and stay away from PS Audio's EMM music server software, you should not have any problems. | |
| Looking for a DAC that has.. Kz, I'm with Steve on this one. The Esoteric is not magically going to turn your mediocre digital source (Apple TV) into a good one. Going after a "good deal" in digital audio can be deceiving; price performance improves rapidly and if a DAC sells... | |
| Looking for a DAC that has.. In my estimation you should stay away from a dedicated preamp unless you have an analog source. Volume controls in the DAC have reached a level of quality where the days of the preamp will soon be numbered. We're at an inflextion point, DAC techno... | |
| Looking for a DAC that has.. What you are looking for would be a highly desirable product but I do not think it exists in your pricerange. The wyred 4 sound dac 2 has what you need but it is has a digital volume control (and is a lot cheaper). You could configure an MSB Plati... | |
| When was the last time you listened to live music? I'm actualy suprised how good an amplified small acoustic ensemble can sound through a half decent PA system with a live microphone feed in a small venue. This is just proof of how much information (and dynamics) get lost in all the recording, mas... | |
| 32-bit dac Having 32 bits is critical to properly implement a digital volume control. The PS audio PWD is 32 bit as well.The $40K top of the line MSB stack is 26 bit (and has an analog volume control), so clearly there is more to SQ than bits. |
