| Comparison of latest DAC chips The above R2R detractors, obviously have never A/B'ed their ESS delta sigma dacs (listening to PCM) compared to a good discrete R2R dac, they have no idea what they're missing. Yes their ESS dacs will "maybe" do DSD better, but that's a maybe, But... | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss Doesn't matter what anyone says the dacs in almost every DSP/room/speaker/xover box is usually rubbish compared to your own hiend dac if you have one, and it's sound will never be what it was if it's in there as well. There's too many processes ... | |
| Audible Illusions wait time ? Just to let your know Mike, the 3A’s last ones used with cosmetic issues and one with scratchy volume pots in Au went for $2000-2100aud that’s about $1500usd, the last few in the US from what I searched went for around the $1500usd mark. Canada $1... | |
| Audible Illusions wait time ? Are you getting your old faulty 3A back? I'd consider buying it?Cheers George | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips It’s got a AKM (Delta Sigma) dac in it, said to be better than ESS, they did use to use ESS and then went to AKM.Good for the money, but they are not hiend sound, I found them sweet polite not much "jump factor" didn’t keep me interested in what I... | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Sabre ES9038, a chip brand that has a reputation of being analytical at the expense of musicality. Not even analytical, a good "discrete" R2R dac is even more detailed, yet it’s airier with much more musical sense and far more body to the mids, a... | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss No reason to avoid this if you do it before the DAC. No you can do it but, you’ve got 3 digital devices daisy chained before it gets into an analog domain,source, dsp/dac, then into back into your own dac!!!! You want to "sterilize" the sound the... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Just look at Geoff's avatar the voodoo doll it says it all, he's just a "snake oiler" | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss akgwhiz just looked at Loki. Inexpensive enough to try Stay away from digital EQ’ing. Get this great piece, many here love what it can bring, and it’s so versatile, all done in the analog domain, just put it between your dac and amp on the channe... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Carefully applied Snake Oil can grease your way into some self satisfying imagined legitimacy, and you can take the gullible with you on the ride to nowhere. I believe that could be a Scientology’s mantra, think now, could it apply to Geoff?? Give... | |
| Audible Illusions wait time ? mike_f Now I’m remembering, that I liked the 3A pre amp I had, (it was in storage for several years unused) but now I remembering that I didn’t like that volume WASN’T remote controlled. The AI 3A is one of the best pre’s I’ve heard, mainly becau... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... We get it, but think it is BS. Have a nice evening. 👍 I think he's a "trany" cow, as that all that comes out of him, front and rear, just check his website, looks like it's sponsored by Scientology.Cheers George | |
| Why No Love For Peachtree Audio? Why No Love For Peachtree Audio? I know your looking for more and this is not a reason, but even the Australian importer didn't get off on them.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/class-d-is-just-dandy/post?postid=1881156#1881156Cheers George | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... People seem to be catching on to the fuse nonsense. Got that right, especially the ****** that say ac mains fuses are directional.Oh and once again for good measure. The only way a fuse can sound better, if it replaces old crusty one that see... | |
| Recapping Krell FPB-Monoblocks - Need Advice i just read your link again on the recap and I think it’s 5 hours per mono block. That's for both as he states "the entire process". "The entire process takes approximately five hours from start to finish." Also there no need to do the fil... |
