| DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated? With the high gain amp I use my own, but any 10kohm one will do Schiit, Dact, Alps, Black Beauty, Blue Velvet, etc etc.Cheers George | |
| DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated? Georgehifi. Are you using Schiit Sys with your MSB DAC ? No at the moment, as my MSB dac’s volume is close to full up for the loudest I need, direct into these NC500 amps (no Buffer used).But I do use a passive as a volume preset with different a... | |
| Preamp or not. They sure can, if they have more gain. The gain is from the source, "if it’s enough" to get to the loudness you need, any more is not going to be used used no matter where it comes from or is added as it will just be turned back down to where you ... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about flac audio? There is absolutely no good technical reason to use any compression at all. There is!! And it's the only one good reason. The reason it was made for was to save the ipod earbud brigade from getting their eardrums blown out by the loud passages ... | |
| Preamp or not. active preamps can certainly add significant dynamics Absolutely impossible for them to give more dynamics or detail than what’s from the source.!! unless they have a dbx inside, and as I said they sound crap.They "can" add a colouration/distortio... | |
| Solution for Schitt Loki wall-wart power supply? The wall wart is just a 16vac linear transformer, the rest of the power regulated supply is inside the Loki. The wall wart is more than going to do the job,, replacing it with anything else will most probably not reap any benefits at all.BTW does ... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? Some Report a superior experience with CD (Re Book) playback ... Exactly what we did in the A/B in my 4th post page one. Through very high end stuff, but it was clear what the better was.And any later music from the last couple of years was just t... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? As many have said steaming done right (upper mid to high end) makes CD’s redundant. A few friends and acquaintances I know/knew that have sold all their massive CD collection for expensive streaming. We don’t see them much any more for audio equip... | |

| The indisputable benefit of fiber for music Over the last couple of years the whole of Australia changed over the the NBN (National Broadband Network) which is all fibre optic. Before I got changed over to fibre optic, I had very fast super reliable "cable" at 6ms ping and 120mB per sec dow... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? The streaming process is prone to loss that CD’s dont have, because it involves a more complicated delivery chain to get the bytes to the DAC - which involves traveling through your network EQ that introduces noise and bit-timing issues to the DAC... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? Yamaha CD transport is not a high-end CD transport LOL It is a Yamaha CD-S2100 transport Even though it not what's considered "hiend" audiophile transport, it was good enough to be better than anything streamed via that streamer..Cheers George | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Tonight "The The" "Infected" Crazy good album from 3rd track on, super wide sound stage, insane dynamics and very good original sound, from a band that didn't really get big time.Best one again the early uncompressed, one I have .http://dr.loudne... | |
| Preamp or not. Otherwise the passive vs active argument was going on in my mind. Active preamps cannot make more dynamics than what’s on the music source to start with, if anything they can only reduce and add distortions/colouration. (they are not dynamic range... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? SQ not so much but you would have a hard time picking blind. Maybe, but a group of 6 of us all picked it CD was better, even the pro streamer guy, who was upset because he sold all 2000 of his CD's to go to streaming.System432evo High End mMusic S... |
