Apple TV sound quality as a transport
Not sure about the jitter... Never had a problem my dac (Bryton bda-1) losing the lock. 
Apple TV sound quality as a transport
KBarkamiam, I am using the current apple tv. 
Apple TV sound quality as a transport
I recently switched from using an Airport Express to an Apple TV for streaming audio into my main system. I am using Apple Lossless files and feeding that into a Bryston BDA-1 DAC via the optical link. I did notice that when I switched the Byrston... 
Are you too old to be an audiophile?
Like I said in the original disclaimer I meant no offense to anyone. The title was just to draw attention. Obviously I do not discriminate against the opinions of the "elders" in these forums.. I come here looking for that advice, after all. I hav... 
Are you too old to be an audiophile?
@Frogman Not sure what your point is. I don't come on here to talk to people about music. I like what I like, I don't need people's opinions on music. I do however need opinions on gear because it's impossible to test out every possibility and bec... 
Are you too old to be an audiophile?
@Altbrewer You bring up a very interesting point about "live music." I feel like this is completely different topic unto itself but a very interesting one. In my experience, a recording sounding "live" or like "real music" has more to do with how ... 
Are you too old to be an audiophile?
@Jax2 You either don't get it, or as just trolling, not sure which... But if you are legitimately trying to understand my point, read Douglas Schroeder's posts. He gets it. You keep harping on the "neutral" thing. Forget I said that. I don't use a... 
Are you too old to be an audiophile?
@Douglas you seem to be the only person here who sees the point I am trying to make. Totally agree with your analysis just don't have to patience to express it as eloquently as you have. As I said originally I am not trying to offend anyone or say... 
Are you too old to be an audiophile?
@Jax2 The point is that people read reviews of equipment, they come on to Audiogon and ask people's opinions of gear.. People/Reviewers respond in such detail about how certain speakers, amps, preamps, cables, etc sound to them. How accurate or us... 
Are you too old to be an audiophile?
WOW! SO many responses. And seemingly no hostility either. Thanks! I totally agree that it's all about the enjoyment of the music and how you perceive it, and that most of the music lies in the midrange and not in the extreme upper frequencies. I ... 
Integrated for Gallo 3.1
Goatwuss... If I were to upgrade to a more powerful Mac like the 6600 with 200wpc, would the fact that it has an autoformer making it 200 wpc into 2/4/8 ohms make a negative impact, given what you are saying? 
Integrated for Gallo 3.1
My speaker cables are transparent music wave. I listen to all kinds of music, everything really. Recently, a lot of Radiohead, Arcade Fire, M. Ward, Talking Heads, Van Morisson, Fleetwood Mac.. although, when listening through this system I tend t... 
Apple Airplay Sound Quality
If i have all my music stored in Apple Lossless format and I'm streaming it directly from my iphone to my airport express and in to my Bryston DAC is it the same as streaming it from my laptop?In other words, if the files are apple lossless on my ... 
How is there Apple Lossless Debate?
Thanks for all the help!In the mean time since posting I tried with the WAV format. Same result. Im thinking maybe it was the eq because I did have that on.. I am going to try that now and see. I didnt even think of that. I figured since it was "j... 
New DAC Not a Dramatic Improvement?
Newbee: I am not sure if I am misunderstanding you, or maybe you are not speaking to me in your recent post. You mention a 2000$ TRANSPORT and a cheap DAC, when in fact my situation is the other way around. I have a 2000$ DAC and cheap transport. ...
