| DACs and audio formats Upsampling and oversampling are optional. A DAC that handles 24/96 means it can handle that signal natively. This is something you would get by buying high resolution music or listening to a high res station like Toronto Jazz 91, or by upsampling ... | |

| What to buy....Auralic Aries, Sony Hap-ZES, or Auralic Altair? Some one on audiogon is selling NOS Squeezebox players for a song. :) | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? I think if we go from one type of technology to another, it's impossible to say things got better or worse. If you want to talk giant auditorium speakers as the "standard of 1930's" then we have to compare them to the current giant theater speake... | |
| Acoustic Treatment of 'Unique" Room Hi Ih!Bass traps enable DSP, so if you've added their bass traps, especially their soffit traps you should be able to EQ your way to nirvana now. :) miniDSP has a digital-only model that sits before your DAC, under $200. Best,Erik | |
| Subwoofer is too loud with gain all the way down Ahh, I see there's a little confusion. An integrated amplifier includes a preamplifier. The Emotiva A100 is a stereo amplifier, with a volume control. If it included source switching it would be a true integrated. So no, it's not common for a p... | |
| Any actual use of Pono Player through balanced connection into home stereo? Hi WCC,Without a doubt, as a portable player, the Pono is the very best sounding unit I've heard. Not just the quality of the sound but the consistency with different headphones. HOWEVER! It doesn't stream, at all. The only way to get music into ... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Well, efficiency without resorting to an electromagnet based speaker is one big issue compared to that design! :) Unplug them from the wall outlet and they are mute. Horns themselves have improved quite a bit in terms of distortion, extension and ... | |
| Subwoofer is too loud with gain all the way down Hi Sean! That’s pretty weird. It’s a pretty weird set up and it’s odd you can’t get less gain. Are you really saying it’s too loud, or just boomy at some frequencies?Can you help me out a little bit and explain why you have an integrated amp and a... | |
| how do you record audible sound, and play it back as infrasound ? If this was on a file, you could use sox on Linux. It may even be able to use sox in streaming mode. Best,Erik | |
| Any actual use of Pono Player through balanced connection into home stereo? I have not used the balanced outputs, except briefly at a demo. To my ears the Pono sounds a lot like the Ayre preamp and CD player, if that helps. If you like that sound, you'll like the Pono. Best,Erik | |
| Strange Oscillation Interesting. One thing to do is to try it with the speakers disconnected. Play through the piece, in a manner you are sure creates the problem, then connect the speakers. Is the oscillation there? If so it's entirely electronic. If not, it's el... | |
| Rhythmic L12 vs. SVS SB-1000 I'm a big fan of the Hsu line, especially the "convertible" VTF-15H series, with variable Q and variable configuration (ported, dual ported, sealed). Beautiful to look at in addition to supremely powerful and capable subs. Best,Erik | |
| What to do? I wonder if it's in fact induced in something else. That is, if the problem is really with noise being picked up by another unit, not the Peachtree itself. Do you have anything on top of it, or an odd wiring situation? Are your speakers particul... | |
| ???Why The HUGE Discrepancy in Sensitivity Ratings??? Well aww shucks!! No ones ever offered to carve my words in stone before. Im flattered.Erik |
