| Playback Designs MPD-3 How funny.....it would be less expensive over the long haul if we had a different hobby/passion/addiction. Are you near a dealer? It's worth a listen, whether you are in the market or not. I think as more and more hear what's possible, more manufa... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Licoricepizza, I'm glad you are enjoying the music and get an idea of what a recording from the Korg sounds like in 16/44.1 redbook resolution. good luck with your archiving journey....like all nice trips, it's no fun until you start!Peace, GH | |
| VAC 160i, any experiences Do you recall what turntable, cartridge and cabling they were using? | |
| Playback Designs MPD-3 Rockitman, indeed the Playback Designs is entirely different. I may be splitting hairs here technically but upsampling on your PS Audio(which I have heard although not in my system) and the MPD-3 resampling from whatever the native sample rate dir... | |
| Playback Designs MPD-3 Rockitman, I was in your camp as well....a bona fide play it back in its native sample rate kind of guy.....until I heard the MPD-3. the playback designs upsampling all the way to DSD is something of a revelation. You should listen for yourself, y... | |
| Playback Designs MPD-3 It kills the Berkeley on rebook but again, it's apples to oranges. The playback designs upsamples everything to 6.1 MHz DSD so it sounds amazing, spacious, ALOT of air around the performers. | |
| Playback Designs MPD-3 I own the MPD-3 and installed it in my system this summer. For a short time, it was side by side with a Berkeley Alpha DAC. The Berkeley is now gone although to be fair, the Berkeley was fed via a Wireworld glass toslink cable and the MPD-3 via a ... | |
| Importance of computer for DAC shootout All blanket statements are inherently incorrect. LOL....how's that for a blanket statement?The interface implementation is paramount, whatever the interface. Jitter reduction is what most of hear as differences between transports/interfaces. There... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Had a Phi 200, currently enjoy a Sigma 160i....Vac and Kevin Hayes are first class. Simply sublime sound, friendly, courteous discourse and just the right features. 2 channel specialists in the sincerist form. | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC "Orpheus just wishes you leave Orpheus out all together."Agreed, i'm not trying to flame you, i just saw where you mentioned me again in your post and stated it was either you can't hear or you have the best vinyl to digital......i'll leave that t... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Orpheus, REALLY? REALLY!?!?Licorice and others who may be interested, simply check with your local pro audio dealer and see if you can demo one and see for yourself. Demoing is the only way and listen in your system. Archiving vinyl does take time... | |
| Decent DAC under $10k anyone? Cortes, I understand your frustration. The MPD-3 does not have a volume control....feel free to ask any questions and your feloow Audiogoners will answer them, if we know the answer. In this price range, you have to be comfortable with your purcha... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Onhwy61 is correct, there are numerous ways to get the data onto your PC or your Mac and most will be enjoyable. We should however all check back in 5 years and I believe most manufacturers still in business will have adopted, embraced and further... | |
| Decent DAC under $10k anyone? I would second the Playback Designs MPD-3. I have owned a Wadia 581i, McIntosh MDA1000, Audio Research DAC8 and side by side had a Berkeley that was replaced by the Playback Designs. The MPD-3 is absolutely the smoothest, most analog like DAC I ha... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Onhwy61, you are correct and I should have just let the thread go its on way, without commentary. I originally just thought that Orpheus didn't know what he was talking about. As far as "state of the art", the Korg is not what I would call state o... |
