| Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter?? The 1704. There are many fakes around but have been able to find a few genuine in the UK. Use extreme caution if sourcing BB1704. I think this could be a bit of a rumour, as there is nothing cheaper that would work with the same pinout as it, tha... | |
| Best Tube Amp For Sonus Faber? Or Pass XA-100.5? $6-7,500 Budget, Purchasing Used. djfstgeorgehifi,I noticed the bass improvement the most when going from the primaluna to the VAC. that would coincide with what you were saying. The best bass on a tube amp I've heard was with the VAC. It could be the the VAC has a lower outp... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... And all this means what? That Bybee is a crook? That his products are not quantum mechanical but ordinary plain resistors and whatever? That the Bybee reviews are rigged? That this Bybee stuff is nothing more than placebo effect and expectation b... | |
| Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter?? You also need to mention the massive amount of noise a Delta Sigma has compared to a Mulitibit, that it needs to get rid of. Even the 6 bit hybrid Delta Sigmas.Sorry just noticed you did. Furthermore, as this manufacturer states 90% of the circui... | |
| Best Tube Amp For Sonus Faber? Or Pass XA-100.5? $6-7,500 Budget, Purchasing Used. They only dip into the 2ohm territory very briefly Yeah but this dip spans between 70hz to 150hz, the power region for bass, if the amp can't deliver current into it, you'll get a big dip in power in that region, especially from an 8ohm tap.htt... | |
| Best Tube Amp For Sonus Faber? Or Pass XA-100.5? $6-7,500 Budget, Purchasing Used. They only dip into the 2ohm territory very briefly Yeah but it spans between 70hz and 150hz right in the power region for bass, and you'll get a big dip in power there if the amp can't give the current into it. especially from an 8ohm tap.This... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... geoffkait5,824 postsGeorge, I bet you and analogluvr actually believe it's just an ordinary resistor. Oh yes they are, nothing more ,nothing less. unless they've had some sort of voodoo spell cast on them, they are just plain Pacific brand pow... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... analogluvr323 posts06-17-2017 8:27am Just a heads up that somebody took apart one of those purifiers and it was a two dollar resister inside. I believe it shows a pic on Cam in a thread about that same product. This is one, just a .025ohm resist... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? I bought an Esoteric K-01X a year ago and since then I have rediscovered all my Red Book CD’s. I’m not sure but I think that’s maybe because like it’s predecessor the earlier X-01, it uses 8 x PCM1704 R2R mulitbit dacs for Redbook conversion.And ... | |
| Martin Logan Tweaks / Upgrades And here's a biggie I forgot about. In case you don't know.Darken the room, sit in you listening chair and shine a torch from the top of your head to each speaker so you get the reflection of it in the panel.Each panel the refection should be one ... | |
| Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter?? Ultra Analog/ PCM 63 Dacs Ther are also R2R Multibit dacs.Cheers George | |
| Martin Logan Tweaks / Upgrades pokey77 George, that's an interesting tweak. Not exactly the most aesthetic thing to do to a beautiful speaker though. No it's no Mona Lisa, but it's the single most improving tweak you can do to a pair of ML's. It's like having great two wa... | |

| Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter?? euphonic (tube or R2R)These really should not be grouped together, ever! As they are nothing alike.If anything I would class R2R as being more like this, http://www.hifisentralen.no/forumet/attachments/hi-fi-generelt/30855d1335552744-krell-master-... | |
| Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter?? Delta Sigma chips - had what people called "digital glare". I wouldn’t say that, if anything TOO smooth and lacking impact, rhythm and drive, I call it the bounce factor. They all have this signature to me, when trying to convert Redbook (pcm) 16... |
