| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Just type in Multibit or R2R Ladder vs Delta Sigma and you will find articles by those with greater knowledge than most here, on which is the more "bit perfect" way of converting Redbook Digital pcm.Here is just one from Loss Less, there are many ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD This is just a short list of hiend CDP/DAC's mainly for the best conversion of RedBook replay that use Multibit be it chip or discrete. There are a couple that do DSD if that's your bag, and there are many more that can be added to this list. Trin... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I have found Ricevs, with current output R2R ladder dacs, very important is the I/V stage and it has to be done active without feedback, and have posted my experiments and findings here.http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/digital-source/227677-using-ad... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Mattnshilp.I only want the best for RedBook replay, as your title states you want also. I have no interest in "Hirez" from what I've heard from it. Because the chips that do do it, don't do RedBook for me as good as Ladder Multibit chips can do. T... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ricevs right, the AD1955 is bit of a hybrid a 5bit Multibit and Delta Sigma, no R2R ladder. And far cheaper to manufacture than say a real R2R Ladder like the PCM1704K. Sounds like an each way bet on the cheap, trying to get what Multibit can do y... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Just because it's got an R to R doesn't make it, by default, better.If staying with the title of this thread "Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD" I think it does. As from all I've heard, a well implemented R2R Ladder Multibit Dac wh... | |
| Best DAC for around $10K new or used Tomic601, looks like you too can benefit by going direct from Pandora to poweramps to get ultimate resolution as Aesthetix points out below. "An optional high resolution relay-based volume control may be added to either Pandora or Romulus, allowi... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Interesting review on the $16k Berkeley Reference Multibit Dac, from Absolute Sounds.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/berkeley-audio-design-alpha-dac-reference-series/Cheers George | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Interesting Mattnshilp, the Berkeley have also now with their Reference Dac has gone back to Multibit as well as the MSB, they were both into Delta Sigma (1 Bit) only a couple f years ago. It will be interesting how they stack up against each othe... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The Lightspeed attentuator is the first passive volume control that adds real dynamics to the mix regardless of the listening volume.I've had this said many times back to me by Lightspeed Attenuator owners, and asked by them why this is so. These ... | |
| Best DAC for around $10K new or used Leog2015 Hi. I love what R2R Ladder Multibit dac's bring to the music compared to Delta Sigma dacs, they have a jump factor and body to the vital lower midrange compared to Delta Sigma, which are sweet and smooth but to me boring to listen to, esp... | |
| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 No, you asked me what I listened to, cause of my pessimism. And I said "many" and they all have the same trait/s. And then I gave reasons "cause" to why I hear this.One day they will come of age, then I will own one. You choose not believe? I can'... | |
| Mark Levinson no. 20 monoblocks In my opinion the best ML for sound quality was the old ML2 Class A monoblocks. They have low wattage but could drive anything to a certain level because they could really double their wattage all the way down to 1ohm.Some guys love these so so mu... | |
| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 "George, which amps have you experienced which are the audible cause of your pessimism?"Many and they all have the same trait, explained below.Until the future technology gives us higher switching frequency, we'll get this (linked) switching frequ... | |
| Integrated tube amp has no bass Cayin A50T Nicdob hi.Can't believe nobody has asked this yet. But have you tried the 4ohm speaker tap on the amp?? You will loose half the wattage, but what's there may drive the bass much better. Triode mode/4ohm tap is it's lowest output impedance, which m... |
