| DEXA Neutrino ultra low jitter master clock? Um, so this is JUST a transport? You use it with an external DAC? If you use it with the SF DAC and the I2S interface, you actually need to put the clock on the DAC, not the transport. :) | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? PS Audio said they were not at all impressed by it. Benchmark has a long blog post on the matter and just how convoluted the entire process really is. Meh, the Brooklyn is a very good dac with or without MQA, but I was looking forward to finding y... | |
| BDP 103D unable to view streaming sites like Youtube, Pandora, Film Fresh etc in Home Menu Oppo has great technical support and a vibrant support community. :) Go there! https://www.oppodigital.com/support.aspx | |
| DEXA Neutrino ultra low jitter master clock? Hi Lak! Doesn't that unit uniquely have an exposed I2S interface that can be used to slave the transport to the DAC or another clock? Best,Erik | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? Hi @bradf I used a Mytek Brooklyn. Yes, MQA was properly identified when played. My sources came from 2l.noIn my case I comapred 96/24 to MQA and I honestly could hear no difference at all. Not a bad thing considering MQA is a lossy and complicate... | |
| What SS preamp compares to a tube preamp Ayre or Parasound JC. :) I use the P7 myself, and I would NOT call it tube-like at all....but a good multi channel pre. :-) Best,Erik | |
| Any News on MQA Lately? Tidal sale is over, Apple was just conducting competitive research to see if they posed a threat to iTunes. It didn't so they had no reason to buy it. Tidal hasn't done anything on MQA since then. Stereophile ran an article online a month or so a... | |
| Multi Channel SACD I don't disagree.... but if you can try Neo6' music mode you may also really enjoy the improvements. :) That missing center channel is really something. Best,Erik | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. I also want to make one comment about Stereophile. I like their electronic reviews much more than their speakers. They have some really variable quality reviews and biases that often make me shake my head. At least John Atkinson has stopped taking... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Just a little to add about custom speakers. I DO recommend them from reputable makers. There are a lot of very nice speaker systems made of unbelievably good drivers. You can get as involved as you'd like. If you are like me, you'll design every... | |
| Phase plug materials for B&W 803D/diamond I wouldn't touch it. Either sell them, add digital EQ such as DiracLive before your DAC or leave them alone. Once you start hacking them you won't stop until you will end up with entirely different speakers. | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... 1 Perl Jam album. Which doesn't matter because they all sound the same. | |
| Components I would have died for when I was a wee pup An all Revox or Tandberg set up with Snell A/IIIs and the room to put them in. :) | |
| Proton 1100 Pre-amp and 1200 Amp I know almost no one believe me, but I was trying to be helpful. :) My point was to suggest keeping them to build a second system where you spend time, like in front of your PC, or garage, or whatnot. They are also getting old, and those electroly... | |
| Best car audio, Burmester? highly disapointed Yep, I had an Audi A4 with the Bose system. Took the A4 with B&O as a loaner. Distinct B&O sound. while there was a more extended treble, it was also exaggerated in the lower treble and there was no adjustment possible (despite so many con... |
