| Left/right balance on headphones By the way, have you seen the OS X sound settings under System Preferences? | |
| Left/right balance on headphones There are a number of software solutions that will let you not only adjust the balance, but also equalize the channels. So for instance, if you have loss in the midrange, you could boost that on one side. Google for "Macbook" and "music" and "equa... | |
| What is this odd little box I've been storing for years? So wait, I'm having trouble. It has a power cord, and no other electrical connections to the outside world?? | |
| Tekton DI Monitors @erik_squires Actually this and the Enzo XL show there are problems with the tweeter designs. It will be interesting to see any of the upper models measured.You are making stuff up. The Enzo measured superbly.NOTHING about the DI Monitor measurem... | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? But you will have to use its USB input. It sounded phenomenal. You can try to compare feeding the Sigma SSP directly via its USB input vs your Mytek Brooklyn DAC going analog into the Sigma SSP. I’m pretty sure its USB input will sound better. I'v... | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? Should say, otherwise, the Classe SSP seems like a really good fit for me. It's relatively small, pure analog inputs and has all the formats I need / care about. | |
| Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes? Ignore my last post. NAD is apparently using the hybrid in the D 3020 but the Direct Digital approach in the D 7050.I own the 3020, and it sounds really good. I have not heard the 7050, but I will say I have never heard a PWM amplifier I liked. I ... | |
| How to get good sound out of this for music only? Hey N80 : Is that the Neo6 Music mode? It's pretty good about creating a credible presence. If you really don't care about movies, my advice is to sell all but the speakers, and get a nice stereo integrated amp. | |
| Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes? As for NAD: I believe they started to move away from the DirectDigital idea, and forward to a new hybrid technology which in part is based on Hypex. The NAD D3020 is one such hybrid. The current master series multi-channel HT amp is purely Hypex. ... | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? Thanks for all of the inputs everyone! Owning a small NAD digital integrated, and quite happy with the sound, I was hoping someone would have an informed opinion about the NAD M17 series. I am particularly enamored of the modular construction, and... | |
| What is the most important component in your system. OP:Sorry, I was being a little hyperbolic. :) What I meant was that without good room acoustics, you are never going to have a very good environment in which to listen to equipment. Mind you, the ear brain mechanism is complex, and discerning, so ... | |
| Re-terminate cardas speaker cables DIY? OP:The crimp sleeves do not solve the enamel problem, but sand paper will. :) Sand until the metal looks rough, sparkly. Best,erik | |
| What is the most important component in your system. The room and treatments. Without that, everything else is just bragging about how much you spent. | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant @jacksky - Build a pre-designed kit. Start there. Something inexpensive. After you have built it, you can tweak it to your hearts content.Building a 2-way kit would answer most of your questions, and leave you more expert than most people. Best,Erik | |
| What hi res file is better 96/24 or 192/16 ? Going purely by information density per sample: 96 x 2^24 is two orders of magnitude more than 192 x 2^16That is, more than 100x more data. I'd pick the former. Best,E |
