Need to know the best proccessor ........... Not to mention the fact that someone has compared the datasat to the $40K ADA reference and preferred the latter. | |
Best DVD Audio Player Today--New or Used Assuming you play in 2 channel mode only, you can save a bundle and get yourself an oppo 93 with a digi out board mod. This will output DVD-A at full resolution digitally over s/pdif. You play this digital signal into your k-03 and presto. | |
Music Server/DAC in Same Box Looks like you are correct, and the audio research does indeed support streaming over Ethernet, but you would still need a server to manage the library. | |
Update on room correction systems? Price had not been announced yet. Based on current pricing of the st2 pro unit (which I use), I think 7k will be in the ballpark. It also supports network streaming. No idea how good this will be in comparison with using a high grade s/pdif input,... | |
Music Server/DAC in Same Box Audio research sells one too. There are various streaming devices with Dac such as linn and ps audio, but in this setup you still need a server and library management in addition to the server/DAC. | |
Update on room correction systems? I use trinnov and find it to be 100% transparent. They will be releasing a consumer oriented version of their 4 channel unit shortly, which has multiple digital inputs. Search for trinnov Amethyst. It also had a digital output so you can use with ... | |
the best, cost-no-object, music streamer? The USB input on the McIntosh is asynchronous, so you are effectively using the clock on the c48. When you put a very good USB converter between the c48 and the Mac, the clock in the USB converter will provide the masterclock to the c48 instead (a... | |
best DAC' choice between $1K-$2K? Mytek Stereo192-DSD DAC is supposed to be the new king of the hill in this price bracket. | |
Where to invest Come to think of it. It is an investment in mental and emotional health. | |
Where to invest .....You're spending the money...not investing it. Any money spent in audio is gone forever.....I have gone through 5 pairs of speakers over the last decade, and never lost a penny on resale. Same is true for a host of other gear. Of course, you w... | |
Topnotch BluRay Concert..... Statman, I did not notice any instuments mixed directly on the surround channels on the RTF blu ray. It sounds very balanced in my system. I will listen to it again to hear if I was missing something. | |
PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade Many of the ultra high end guys are demoing their five and six figure speakers at shows with computer based sources. If there was a compromise they would not do this. So if you don't cut any corners, you will get similar or better quality from a c... | |
Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? Thinking along the lines of Snook2, I would seriously consider getting a full range speakers and adding 2 powered subs (for example JL113). This will be more cost effective than a speaker with large woofers, gives you far more options, more placem... | |
David Wilson must be a little annoyed... For me, speakers (or rather, an audio system) are like women; sometimes the stars align and you fall in love with them for myserious reasons. It happened to me a few times (first time it was a JBL monitor playing master tape, second time Avalon Ra... | |
David Wilson must be a little annoyed... So one guys likes a Q1 better than the MM3 and another guy likes the Micro One better than the Q7. I say call it a draw and trust your own ears. Thankfully, most of us will never have the face the agonizing dilemma of having to choose between the ... |
