| Changing Digital Technology What DAC are you playing your files stored on the Mac into? In my estimation (and experience) once you have your collection ripped to computer and a convenient way to manage your music collection from an iDevice AND soundquality is at par with wha... | |
| What do I need? It makes no sense to buy a $2,500 server (basically a dedicated computer) and run the digital outs through a $200 DAC. You should either get a server with build in DACs for around $2000 (for example the Olive 4HD) and run it straight into your pre... | |
| Huge Center Channel Hi Grade I actually replaced my Kef with a Salk. Very fine center channel (both). Than an affordable Linn Klimax 340A showed up and I never looked back. | |
| Huge Center Channel Hi Grade A Kef 204c would foot the bill. Don't see them to often. I sold mine a few months ago. | |
| Unusual TAS bomb From what I gather the same issue has s stellar review of the PS audio perfectwave MKII DAC. To my knowledge PS audio never spend a penny on advertising in TAS. May be the guy just did not like the DAC8 and that is all there is to it. | |
| Are my CAT5 and router my weak link? I am jumping ship when CAT10 hits the market. Meanwhile, am am sorting out the directionality of my fuses. | |
| Are my CAT5 and router my weak link? Think of it like this. Your data is transfered from a NAS into a buffer in the PWD Bridge. If you copy an excel file from a NAS to another node on the network, it will be bit for bit perfect (i.e. the exact same bits) all the time, irrespective of... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC I have $7,000 worth of hardware to feed my perfectwave MKII over AES/EBU (CAPS 2.0 server, Offramp 5 + powersupply + some cabling). The reason I need this, is I have a Trinnov processor in front of the DAC that only uses AES/EBU, so I cannot use t... | |
| Help the 'PC Audio' bewildered.... You could get a CAPS 2.0 for $1,500 (dedicated optimized music server spec'ed by computeraudiophile website and build by 3rd party). You need external storage though. Not sure how it would compare with the mac mini route (I had one for a week hate... | |
| Do We need a dedicated server on PC format You can get a CAPS 2.0 build for around $1,500 - which is pretty much the machine you are talking about. One of the indispensible features is the SOtM tX-USB USB card. | |
| Tall Tower Speakers for $10-14k 7" short of making the 50" cut, but I find the Avalon Eidolon's the most visually stunning speakers I have come across. It does not hurt they are also phenomenally sounding, and well within your price range. Mine beat the Revel Studios and Verity ... | |
| Perfect Wave II DAC alternatives? First, why sell it? You could give the empircal audio overdrive SE a whirl. | |
| Upgrade CD player or get into LPs? Suggestions You are regressin on the technology curve. Forget vinyl and get into computer audio. Saves you a lot of trips to the turntable, and no restrictions on available content (which is the most important thing at the end of the day). Sounds pretty damn ... | |
| Multi-Format players of yesteryear, vs. Now Very likely the Oppo will trounce the Pioneer. However, in this day and age I would forget about discs for 2 channel altogether and move straight to a PC/music server based system. Once you have experienced the convenience of your entire music col... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved This thread is like my wife's people magazine. You know it is plain stupid, but when it is right in front of you, you sometimes can't help opening up a copy to check on the status of Tom Cruise's divorce. |
