| Any hope for SACD? I'd still much rather have a broadly available high Rez format that is 95% as good as sacd than a niche, audiophile format with no catalogue. Give me all mainstream released as downloadable high Rez flacs, and live concerts, classical and select o... | |
| Processor DACs Cdj123, I have no personal experience running Room Correction on a PC. You can however get 30 day trial of acourate and maybe Dirac offers the same. Only financial commitment is you need a good microphone to do the calibration. | |
| Any hope for SACD? The difference between encoded high rez PCM (which is what BR carries), and DSD is splitting hairs. | |
| Processor DACs Mateored, for two channel there are many more options that will give you both room correction and outboard dac. I mentioned running room correction on a pc. You can use PEQ in amarra on a Mac (something Steve is a strong advocate of). You can also... | |
| Processor DACs Another more realistic option I totally forgot about it this. If you can live without sub(s) in stereo mode, you can still have full blown room correction, an external DAC and integration with an SSP with its own room correction. You would do this... | |
| Wanted: NHT X2 electronic crossover. Wolfvalles, if you just need a high pass / low pass 2 way Xover there are many options. What sets apart the NHT is the LFE channel integration. If you dont need that I would cast the net a little wider. | |
| Processor DACs Steve, a few years ago I used a modded Audio Note 2.1 DAC (about 2K I believe), that was bested by the Xtreme Card in a Theta Casablanca III, so a SSP is capable of beating a 1K DAC (the Theta Xtreme DAC card retails for 5K though). The Xtreme car... | |
| Wanted: NHT X2 electronic crossover. They are hard to come by. If the unique feature you are looking for is the 2 channel - MCH integration with the sub input in pass through mode, Marchand will custom build you a cross-over that does the same. Lot costlier though. I still have a NHT... | |
| Extremely well recorded jazz double bass? cymbals? Glad you like my recommendations. Sound quality aside, this is just very good music. Stanley Clark had done a lot of funk, but he is brilliant Jazzman, and Masabumi Kikuchi is my biggest discovery in Jazz of the last five years.If you are into com... | |
| Processor DACs Kal, there is no A/D/A conversion when I play stereo mode in 2.2 setup. I run digital straight into the Trinnov, and digital out to an outboard DAC for mains, and trinnov analog out for the subs. To integrate this with MCH you can use the Trinnov ... | |
| Processor DACs You can have both (I.e. top notch outboard Dac and room correction) if you put a dedicated room correction / xover box with digital in and outputs in the chain, which is what I do (trinnov pro). It gets a little complex and pricey, but results are... | |
| dCS to launch a reference USB to SPDIF converter Forgot to post the link to the BR / SACD set:http://www.2l.musiconline.no/shop/displayAlbum.asp?id=34188 | |
| dCS to launch a reference USB to SPDIF converter If you want to hear for yourself, get this Blu Ray Music / SACD 2 disc set. The Blu Ray has 96/24 and a 192/24 PCM track, and the SACD has 2 channel and MCH of the exact same source material. You can do your own shootout. In slightly prefer the SA... | |
| dCS to launch a reference USB to SPDIF converter Jfrech, I'm not holding my breath on downloadable DSD. I don;t think many studios are set up to master in DSD and since the mass market is all encoded PCM, which gives you as much resolution as you'll ever need, what's the point? - I do have all m... | |
| dCS to launch a reference USB to SPDIF converter Steve, I did not want to bring that up. These 1% guys are a little touchy. |
