| Class D is just Dandy! @madavid0 I don't have to be nice to people who are being nasty, so I'm not being nice to you anymore. You are the most transparent hater in the long list of transparent haters, and I know haters. You previously stated you know almost nothing a... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! randy,See if you can connect with @h2oaudio he makes Class D with linear power supplies. They sound pretty sweet. Erik | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I’m afraid I’m guilty of saying "Digital" vs. "linear" when I should stick to Class D instead, so my bad. :) And yes, those quotes and tech are stale as hell. No wonder George can’t enjoy digital amps, all the stories he reads about them are a dec... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! So, to those confused by Class D vs. Digital, to be "digital" you have to convert or have the signal as an integer to describe the waveform. Like the digits in a CD track. This is "digitization" or converting an analog signal into a series of digi... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @georgehifi Interesting article, full of inaccuracies. One I may have helped propagate.Class D vs. Digital AmplificationThe article claims, erroneously, that Class D amps all have an A/D converter at the front. They do not. It is actually more o... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Wait, didn't we have a manufacturer participate in this thread? I tried going to their web site but it seems down? http://www.iceh2oaudio.com/index_htm.html | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? A brand I also liked, but I may be breaking my own rules, was Sonic Frontiers. I think they were 1990s? | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? I saw a lot of Electron Kinetics but never really listened. I’m going to get murdered in my sleep, but I have never liked the look of McIntosh gear, so I rarely if ever listen. :) It makes me shiver and think of fake wood paneling. I have to say I... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Randy,I trust todd's ear. :) I would go with the Ghent Audio kits.Best,E | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? lenmc - Isn't that the truth?? !! Erik | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Tandberg made the best looking amps in this era to me. They also were one of the few amps that could drive the Snell A series to justice in the bottom end. But listening recently, man, they really did sound grainy and nothing like your average mod... | |
| Bryston BDA-2 Or Yggdrasil Help I made a couple of small errors.SOME Shiit DACs use proprietary "upsampling" (not oversampling) which they call "Adapticlock." I have only heard this version. :) Best,E | |
| Audio Research - DAC9 I had the ARC DAC 8, and it also used a proprietary USB driver. Unfortunately it really did need the USB interface to sound it’s best, and was still veiled across the midrange and treble. My Mytek Brooklyn spanks it easily, except when using the U... | |
| Matching surround speakers You should have no problem then. :) Get speakers you like, with good dynamic range. I will say that bigger speakers will add to the dynamic range and realism. Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @guidocorona is correct about the module used in the Prometheus.http://www.stereophile.com/content/theta-digital-prometheus-monoblock-power-amplifier#1uPJbsjlSAtFgo...I wasn't paying attention to the specific module, just that it was a Hypex nCore... |
