| Good impedance match for Precision Fidelity C-7AR Too much gain is your problem as Al states, Rothwells attenuator plugs work but they can also create impedance matching issues.Looks to me like the alps VC pot is on the output RCA's on this pre, and there is a tube gain stage before it.The best b... | |
| What direction with new DAC? 10-27-15: Dmm53I was not referring to the Yggy as inferior but Really asking if the Wyred Dac2 was. My concern is that I might be pumping money into the upgrade and not getting better technologyIf as you stated "I have little interest in the DSD" ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD So be it Mattnshilp, you can bury your head in the sand and believe in voodoo that is preached by some here. On the title of this thread "Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD"PS: Roses sound better as they have less jitter even when i... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 10-26-15: RicevsWho are you quoting? Me Me! Take another look. From my very first post!! http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1398132150&openflup&2064&4#2064No cheers with this nightmare George | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 10-26-15: RicevsMost everyone else can see that implementation is more important then whether the DAC chip is R2R or not....not George...it is everything to him.....From my very first post Ricevs, look first before posting lies."In my opinion when... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Sorry Matt, not with incorrect statements like this. "What makes SD technology immune to jitter?"And you originally asked, the title to this thread. "Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD"Maybe another thread is in order."Best Delta Si... | |
| What direction with new DAC? Dmm53 I don't understand The Schiit Yggy is as you say, also Multibit "inferior technology" Yet you said "interested in the Schiit Yggy"Just like the Audio GD Master above with it's PCM1704 also multibit dac chips as well???Cheers George | |
| Mcintosh MC402, Krell FPB 600 or Passlabs x250.5 Nicholas_1213 hi Unsound is correct about the Mac. It would be good to get hold of a impedance/phase graph of your speakers, this will then give a good idea for either the Krell or Pass. If your speakers are a hard load then the Krell would be the... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I think if you do a search on this there are many posts, and it's the other way around. Multibit is less susceptible to jitter than Delta Sigma.This is just one that came up." Multi-Bit less sensitive to jitter than delta-sigmaDelta-Sigma Guarant... | |
| What direction with new DAC? Dmm53 hi, if your preference is for RedBook not your not interested in DSD. Then I would get the Schitt as it has a proper R2R ladder dac for the best conversion, your wired for sound has Delta Sigma.From Schitt, and others say the same for RedBoo... | |
| MSB Sig DACIV plus or EMM DAC2x From a bit of a look around it's Philips R2R multibit as well, probably the TDA1541 chip. And may be very good on Redbook as well.I prefer my sources to be direct coupled and solid state, this has tubes either in the I/V or output stage or both, t... | |
| MSB Sig DACIV plus or EMM DAC2x If your main replay is Redbook CD then definitely my pick is for the MSB as it has a true discrete Ladder Multibit dac for that. MSB"There are three DACs on this chart, the Platinum Signature Ladder DAC, The Burr-Brown PCM 1738 (a high performance... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Sorry the output impedance is not 1.5kohm but 607ohm. Same same.Cheers George | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Dave the PCM63 is very similar to the PCM1704k I use, for a good zero feedback I/V stage to implement into your Theta ferret through this lengthy thread (attached) I started on the AD844 used in zero feeback mode for I/V duties.For your R2R 20bit ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 10-25-15: DgarretsonGeorgelofi, do you recall if the Theta Gen Va is an R2R? I can't find a spec, but there are some on the forums who believe so. I have one in storage that I haven't listened to in years. If it's an R2R then I'll dust it off for ... |
