| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I remain to be convinced that there is still meaningful progress to be made in DACs for 16/44. However, some may find the following link on filters interesting: http://archimago.blogspot.nl/2018/01/audiophile-myth-260-detestable-digital.htmlHi @wi... | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! There are many silly stories going round here about the sonic character of amplifiers. If an amplifier is any good it will not gave a sonic character, even in the most revealing system. Every amplifier has a sonic character, just like every musici... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. My post criticizing Audiotroy for taking over and dominating threads for salesmanship here was removed. I don’t know why as there were no curse words nor were there insults.I had the same experience in this particular thread. My posts were subsequ... | |
| The best tweaks EVER.. If you haven’t spent big bucks on room treatment the odds are very good you haven’t done it right.Let's be honest, if you haven't spent big bucks on anything and everything audio related the odds are very good you haven’t done it "as right as it o... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I feel so confident in this dac that it would be interesting to see if MSB could actually beat it. I would hope so at 100,000.00. @jwm I’m just curious, what music do you prefer to listen to? After looking at the MSB price sheet http://www.msbtech... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD So, both techniques can have good S/N (Delta-Sigmas have improved a LOT since the 90’s), but the issue with Delta-Sigma is the filtering. The issue with R2R is this non-linearity. This is what I had said all along. Eliminate the bad digital filter... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions The Analog Devices AD5791 that’s in the Yaggy is single ended output only.http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/AD5791.pdfIf they used two of them, one for each channel, then the balanced output is false and just tacke... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions PS: And remember not all balanced inputs or outputs are real, as in this. Sometimes they just throw a balanced opamp in on the end of the single ended output to create a false balanced output, this goes for inputs as well.@georgehifi FWIW I’m usin... | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! You can get good "value" in that price category by buying new. Curious why you wouldn’t stay with or at least consider Emotiva. Another brand you could look to is Schiit.And welcome to the forum! | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD ....but the issue with Delta-Sigma is the filtering. The issue with R2R is this non-linearity. @audioengr Perhaps I’m "fanning the flames" here just a bit, nevertheless, I’d like to comment on this in particular because I was/am well aware (so I... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @shadorne Thank you. I mean that sincerely because you do in fact present an abundance of technical data in support of delta-sigma. In my case, I suppose I'm fortunate to have components with both technologies, and have carefully listened to both.... | |
| Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB There is always more to it...@atmasphere Hi Ralph. I have a follow up question if you don't mind, as I mentioned I would be re-reading/re-digesting the rather informative information you've already provided.Regarding the "weighting' where distorti... | |
| Putting your components inbetween your speakers. So now there is NOTHING in the middle of the speakers. I think what you mean to write is "So now there is NOTHING **directly and at the same plane** in the middle of the speakers. ", correct? :) |
