| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD You know very well as I do that the output impedance on both are very similar with discrete transistor direct coupled outputs at 40ohms Bricasti and 32ohms Total, and clipping or drive is not the issue for either direct into 100kohm of the Gryphon... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Did you really only use a passive preamp or direct to DAC for this DAC comparison? If you bother to have read it, we also went direct. And there was a preamp (that I didn’t want to mention as Mick Maloney is an acquaintance of mine but seeing you ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Next to the Total Dac, this was another jaw dropping moment that really impressed when converting pcm Redbook either 16/44 or 24/96.http://www.aquahifi.com/la_scala.htmlCheers George | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD George, respectfully, knock it off. Ah, respectfully that’ll be a big no! If you don’t like what you read, either don’t read it, or you can try to use the report button.Cheers George | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD This is NOT a thread on R2R vs PCM technolog. " Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD" Sorry but you being the OP headed this. That's why it went down that path again after you gave such a good report of the R2R Multibit "Moj... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD We had 5 techs, 3 non techs at our meeting and were all insistent on perfect level matching. All levels were matched overhaul not by spl by ear or meter but by the voltage down to the mV fed into the speakers at differing sine waves with a tech cd... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Did they even use the same interface? ??? Of course we did.Cheers George | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD TotalDac (bit perfect) outperformed by the delta sigma Bricasti SE in a friend’s system I listened to extensively. . Funny you mentioned these two, we had exactly this shoot out for a whole day on a reviewers system at his place in the beautiful ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I don’t hear this purported advantageous asset with comparisons as stated earlier. That fine if you can't, but I do with CD's 16/44 or the magic sounding Reference Recordings 24/96 CD's that have HDCD encoded which my Linn CD12 thankfully can ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve N who by all accounts has been successful manufacturing R2R and DS DACs and is a credentialed source Yes Charles but as I said not discrete R2R. he has to use either DS or the Hybrid. Or he could purchase "discrete" R2R made boards from Sok... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I realize that there are manufacturers who share this view but certainly not all do. Maybe it’s because the ones that don’t Charles, can’t make "discrete R2R dac’s" as the complexity is many many times higher, and they also can’t get R2R dac chip... | |
| How to sell Sonic Frontiers SFS 80 Tube Amplifier, Melos SHA Gold Tube Preamplifier, AlonI vivaslb Melos SHA Gold Tube Preamplifier You can say the Melos SHA Gold has a copy of the Lightspeed Attenuator MkI con-tactless volume control in it, they called it a photentiometer and it was this that set it apart from all other tube or sol... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Honestly he lost me again when he said something about Schitt beimg an expensive discrete.....:::: BTW ct, Have to correct you here as well, I didn’t say that read again. Expensive was in reference to "discrete" R2R dacs And "chip" versions whi... | |
| Schiit not that Good? In my eyes he’s wrong with this thread Schiit is the best bang for buck there is as I explained in my last post. But he can get things right too below. There way too much voodoo in this industry.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/synergistic-r... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Look at Steve and others who can and will use any tech if they feel it can be done right. He can't go 24bit multibit converters as there are none made for him to buy, so he has to go DS or get the newer hybrids as shadorne bought up.He uses Ana... |
