I extracted this from Archimago's Musings - However, there is one situation where upsampling makes sense... The same reason Benchmark chose to use ASRC (Asynchronous Sample Rate Conversion) for the DAC1 and DAC2 - jitter reduction. Although by no ... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
Yes, I mentioned many of those manufacturer specs which gives adequate information to mate equipment. However, cartridge frequency response test measurements are important to those who can easily ascertain the sound based on variance(s) from flat ...

I have heard several CD players with DAC chips originating in the 1980s to 2020s. I can’t tell which one is preferable because there is so much more to implementation of the DAC process and machines. JGH article was welcomed by many of my engineer...

@thyname  I'm not arguing with the ASR crown, that's why I'm on Audiogon.  I'm offering a superior built DAC/pre-amp with unique and attractive look that for CDs (probably even better for streaming), resembles the Benchmark L4 pre-amp.   44% of re...

@djones51  So, if a DAC measures the same as another, it sounds the same?   If it measures superbly, it is preferable to a lesser measuring DAC?   Well, I have a DAC to sell to you, the COS Engineering D1v, a superbly constructed and engineered DA...

@cd318 My two Golden Ear friends walk into a room, listen for 10-15 minutes to a few different recordings and can tell me exactly what is wrong with the sound, not necessarily the fix but if it is acoustic, they can point out the cause. It’s best ...

@kota1  Yes, that is the sad situation.  Possibly 100,000s of audio enthusiasts believe the same way although some  may not have adequate resolving systems to distinguish one cable from another (or other mismatched equipment problems, room problem... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@kota1 Thank you for the proof that cabling differences in an audio system can be discerned by average listeners with no special experience in music or audio.  How much more likely is it that trained musicians and recording/remastering engineers l...

I could have chosen a CD player instead of separates if I could have heard them.  I live in Los Angeles area yet could not listen for example to the highly regarded Luxman D-03x player in my home.  I read that many Luxman owners sold/traded in the...

The City of Bradbury was founded by Lewis Leonard Bradbury on the homestead of Rancho Azusa de Duarte in 1881. The cities of Duarte and Azusa are adjacent. No relation to Ray Bradbury.

I know nothing about GR Research and never heard of the company.  I cannot recommend GroverHuffman or SR power cables to you because they don't come with Australian style angled three prong plugs.

The McIntosh house was located in Bradbury, an equestrian city where an old Budweiser commercial was made in a barn that looked from the outside like a gigantic mansion.

@holmz My speaker cable risers consist of old Audio Technica rubber footers on 106 oz. plush carpeting. Not as pretty but it does the job (now that’s more of a subtle not major difference with or without similar to turning off the lights on my tra...

@laoman I have a lower cost (about $80K), high end system at the lower end because of my speakers, which although wonderful to listen to, do not reflect the full quality of the system (basically ambiance retrieval and listening area width). My wi...
