| Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter?? is there something inherently special about R2R? Yes there is, it does 16/44 24/96 Redbook pcm bit perfect,, when implemented right, better than any dsd/sacd delta sigma can hope to, which can only give a facsimile of it.MoJo Music:" When a PCM ... | |
| Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter?? No I haven't, but if you search those that have, say it's the best thing since sliced bread!Cheers George | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? hifijones The 3rd step may take some time because the price of admission is still more than I’m willing to pay at the moment: the Linn CD12. +1 and more on that. I have the CD12 MkIII last version made with the 4 x PCM1704's and HDCD PMD200,... | |
| Martin Logan Tweaks / Upgrades Best tweak I made to all my ML's was to just lightly wedge a 1/2" diameter dowel rod from the back of the top of the speaker to the back wall with blutack on each end (to hold it in place) to make the ESL panel ridged, as it does flap around in th... | |
| Interesting experience with a wall wart Any purifier/conditioner will not rid totally SMP noise, as it’s maybe not only airborne, but infests the ground plane (green/yellow green stripe) as well as the neutral (black or blue) ac wire of the whole house wiring.Cheers George | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? I found that DVD players, even the inexpensive ones, often sounded better than some dedicated cd players did due to their (often) superior error correction, etc as needed to read DVDs. You’ll find focal length and width distant is different for e... | |
| Burn-in question Just use this Pink Noise Generator (pink button), raise the volume and leave it on while your at work, press the oscillate high button to vary it up and down. forget all the voodoo gimmicks that cost money.https://simplynoise.com/ Cheers George | |
| Best Tube Amp For Sonus Faber? Or Pass XA-100.5? $6-7,500 Budget, Purchasing Used. I would go with the Pass, as the Olympica III in the power region is around 2ohms at 100hz, a tube amp would be a gamble.https://ibb.co/hoYNyF Cheers George | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? teo_audio113 posts06-09-2017 2:01amI tend to listen to redbook, for the most part, but I’m using a ladder or R2R DAC. No delta-sigma single bit DAC here. Which makes a huge difference, IMO. When folks hear it they keep asking me how to get that i... | |
| Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp I did not like the SYS 2-input passive and returned it Did you make sure first it was an impedance match with your source and poweramp?What is the output impedance of your source and input impedance of your poweramp.As those that did, love it, ... | |
| Can This Amp Power A 50 Foot Speaker Cable Run? Speaker cable if they have capacitance get get higher in capacitance the longer you go, an amp "if bordering" on becoming unstable, "can" go into oscillation with the higher capacitance of long cable runs. To cite an amp that was bordering on bein... | |
| Why demagnitize an optical reader? I don't see how an optical device, which is non magnetic and made from non magnetic materials benefits from a demag process. OhOh I feel a spurge of voodooism coming.Correct spatialking you cannot de-mag a aluminium substrate (CD), it's non ... | |
| Interesting experience with a wall wart SMP anything is just a HF noise generator. It pollutes everything in your cherished hifi sytem. Here a test, get an AM portable radio (without auto mute between stations) tune it down low around 800khz but off station.And go near any thing that ha... | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? Beside being single ended only, same passive, same relay controlled volume control, except 64 position instead of 128. Tube buffer is bit different, unity gain, output impedance 180ohms on the Saga, and 5 gain, 210ohm output impedance on the Frey... | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? PS: to those thinking about the $699 Freya. That don’t need balanced.There’s also the Schiit Saga at half the price $349!!!, single ended (no balanced), 5x inputs, 2 x outputs, active tube or passive outputs (no s/s) output. It still has a remote ... |
