| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) @bache what is your point?? | |
| How to download Topping DX3 Pro Drivers from Topping website @baybarsI just got the DX3 Pro, and for Windows 10 there are no drivers needed. | |
| Need Help With Diagnosing A Problem I had this issue with my Mytek Brooklyn DAC. The issue was always static electricity would do funky things to the delicate control circuits. Are you in a particularly dry place? Best,E | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) Hey @cal3713What value Duelund did you bypass with? Best,E | |
| Tweeter Capacitor Upgrade (Coincident PREs) How much a quality of the second order LP filter capacitor does influence on sound quality? @alexbergerBased on my reading, this can be more important than the coil, even though it is in parallel. Especially if the original is an electrolytic, r... | |
| Can someone tell me why Tidal MQA shows as 96Khz when using a non-MQA DAC? As I recall, if you are using the Chrome or Tidal app, that's what it should do. I don't know of any way to pass the original MQA stream directly to an MQA enabled DAC. | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Hyperbole, newer better DACS help high res sound better as well. From what I have heard, the delta between 44/16 and higher is a lot smaller. The value of high resolution audio files is therefore diminished. Best,E | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. I am a big big fan of BB DAC's, having really loved the Theta Casanova I sold too soon. At high rez it was a really glorious thing. I'd still rather have a modern DAC, especially for redbook. Best,E | |
| Digital, Low Mass, ClassD, Less expensive, Let it happen! Contrived? Do you know what that word means? ThatCaught me, I guess my vocabulary isn't nearly as good as your cherry picking of data to suite a particular view. I think we don't realize how many more devices can play music today than in the past.... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. my NAD D1050 still sounds awesome I have the D3020, and it's a pretty sweet and small integrated! I used to use it on my desktop. Certainly better than DAC's and Class D from 20 years ago. | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase If it is the same as the Luxman 509x Stereophile reviewed, the "headphone amp" is really just a resistor from the main amp. This is a disappointing approach given the otherwise high build quality. https://www.stereophile.com/content/luxman-l-509x-... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like @lak Yes, you will, unfortunately and it will be a big one, but even a 3,000 VA unit is under $200https://amzn.to/2GgAWl2E | |
| Upgrade from Oppo Sonica DAC Hi OP,I was never a fan of Oppo DACs I'm afraid, so I'm not surprised. You don't have to get too creative or special in your hunt, lots of DACs better than that, and lots of streamer/DACs too. I like Mytek, and Schiit a great deal, Chord also has ... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. BTW, I own a few CD's but I never spin them. All my listening now is via USB and either internet radio or my flash drive.A perfect example of how good 44/16 is, listen to KCSM on line via your DAC if you can. It can be pretty amazing. | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. I think both stories are true. There are a lot of remasters people don't realize as well as better DACs. The frequency response, compression, and channel separation of vinyl, CD's and SACD have been shown to be explicitly different. SOME SACD tran... |
