| Tried DSD? Sometimes in life, try to be positive OR don’t respond. If people are happy about DSD - so be it. You have to when something is not correct, otherwise you’ll have a bunch of Geoff Kiat’s everywhere spruiking BS all over the place | |
| High end Class D amps? I will state again. You clearly do not understand what this term EPDR means. You have no idea, https://imgbb.com/Zzsqsr0 If you have, stick one on your test bench and watch what happens with the same input to the wattage figures under 8ohm 4ohm 2... | |
| High end Class D amps? It has no application to Class D amplification. Of course it does show if it’s capable of driving it. I suggest going back and understanding this better as your understanding is flawed. No, I suggest you go and find out what happens to Class-D wh... | |
| High end Class D amps? I will repeat my question, why would a class-D amplifier care about phase angle. I’ll repeat my answer in another way, negative phase angle combined with low impedance can as in the Alexia, gives a EPDR of load as seen by the amp of 0.9ohm load!!... | |
| Are Shakti Stones effective? "tweaks" Snake oil products shouldn't even be associated with the word "tweak" as it implies and improvement. It should be use with the term "con" | |
| Anyone compared the Cary 303-200 CDP with the Ayre C-5xe? Also C-5xe transport failures? steveaudio OP Anyone compared the Cary 303-200 CDP An extremely good RedBook spinner, the Cary uses the best R2R dac "chip" made PCM1704 and one of the best filters the Pacific Microsonics PMD200 HDCD filter chip, with a very good Philips tr... | |
| Genesis Digital Lens not working I had one of these, power supply caps now are getting very old over 25 years, try replacing all the output stage ones first seeing it’s detecting the input still.Cheers George | |
| Tried DSD? Then you should stay away from DSD and unrelated (to you) DSD threads.Really!! DSD Police now? I remember reading a few years ago that high bit rate PCM was superior to DSD (from an objective perspective). Yes you are correct, when PCM is conv... | |
| High end Class D amps? audio2design Why would a Class-D amp care about phase angle? Any amps do, but react differently to it, - phase angle when combined with the speakers impedance is called EPDR (equivalent peak dissipation resistance) and is what the amp really see... | |
| Are Shakti Stones effective? If people demo a product and do not like it then where is the harm/snake oil? We are all grown up. The problem is the "gullible" who don't have the knowledge here pay these sharks good money for their snake oil products, (like a 10cent fuse for $... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC But you're right that the standard r2r modules are still involved. Of course they are. (just fishing)Cheers George | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Up-sampling is available, but does not use the R2R ladder DAC for processing. You "may" have that worded wrong, can you post the link where it says that, or get him to post here if he emailed that.Cheers George | |
| Control volume with DAC or Preamp? The nice thing about having volume control in both pre and dac is that it allows you to find out for yourself. What you have is basically two preamps running in series into each other, who does wants to do this craziness. 🥴 When I did that I foun... | |
| Control volume with DAC or Preamp? Unless there’s some problem, the lowest noise is always achieved if you use all or most of what the source has to offer. If not your throwing away source signal to ground (earth) with the active preamps volume pot just so the "gain stage" (that no... | |
| Are Shakti Stones effective? if you can tell the difference you are kidding yourself, but if you like big wooden sticks with magic paint on, then it's your money, sell the crud, and buy better gear, not too harsh i hope Na, on the money, you let the snake oiler's down gen... |
