| Which gives better results inexpensive DAC or inexpensive tube Bluetooth pre? Try the Topping DX3 Pro. Has built in BT, as well as functions as a straight up DAC. | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge volume control question from newbie Hey KC, leave your Mytek at full volume. In Roon, right click the player, and select "Device Setup" In the middle of the pop up you'll see "Volume Control" I think you want "DSP Volume" | |
| How can I isolate my 2 channel electronics from my home theater receiver? Exactly what model of preamp is it?? | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars As for the Focal tweeter, I've experimented with it a little. Not Wilsons, but in Focals.I think Wilson did two things which worked really well. Surrounded it by felt, and put a custom rear chamber on it, which I believe extended the low end dow... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars My question was meant to be aimed at why it took so very long for Dave W to come to the realization that the old tweeter was such a weak part of his design. IOW, what precipitated the change ( for the better) after all those years? Well,l I c... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars One thing that does strike me as a little strange when it comes to Wilsons...is why it took so very long for Dave W to hear how bad the long utilized Focal Titanium dome was in all of his older designs. I'm going to say something that's going ... | |
| Which DAC makers let you do in home trial? There's a Mytek dealer who puts new DACs on audiogon with 30 days in home trials. | |
| Legacy Signature SE without dual AMT twitter Just off the top of my head, my guess is that the dual-tweeter was done to improve vertical dispersion. That is, to get better high frequencies below and above axis. Any difference from the dual-tweet will probably be there. Best,E | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware But looking more at the (poorly) written paper linked attempting to compare a readily used term, over-sampling, to one practically made-up at least for this case (upsampling), No, not at all. This is not the only paper, and to claim it is is ... | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware Here’s an interesting article I ran across at Benchmark Media, I quoteth the relative part for this conversation: An examination of converter IC data sheets will reveal that virtually all audio converter ICs deliver their peak performance near 96 ... | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware @heaudio123You said: Not really a curve-fitting but okay to think about it that way. Actually that's exactly how it works for upsampling, but different upsampling algorithms work differently. With the advent of cheap compute, Bezier curves are ch... | |
| What is it......... Mom's home cooking. | |
| It isn't the bits, it's the hardware That upsampling can be useful doesn't necessarily mean that more data won't improve results. @cleeds But that's just it, with upsampling, you are not generating more data. There's no more clarity or resolution, or harmonics. There's not yet an A... | |
| Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ? I also want to point out a weird thing I've seen often in different industries. A good example is vitamins. I used to subscribe to Consumer Labs. They would buy all sorts of supplements and test their quality. Invariably, the most expensive brands... | |
| Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ? @d2girls I am so sorry you ran into this level of snobbery. I’m afraid that’s part of the luxury brand attitude in the US. I remember going to buy a Volvo or an Audi. Similar cars, and price points. The Volvo dealer spent most of his time on his c... |
