| AES/EBU cable shootout @panzrwagn @david1964 you are both well-intentioned, intelligent gentlemen, of that I’m sure. You are both technically correct in an ASR kind of way and yet, here we are….other well-intentioned, reasonably intelligent souls have experienced audibl... | |
| Another "Best" amplifier Question. @stgjames there are quite a few random flaws with your post, perhaps you posted by mistake. The 300b tube, SET and variant amplifiers would be improper for the OP’s speakers. When he mentioned a desire for 150wpc into a 4 ohm load…that decidedly N... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @invalid alot of the better studios do indeed use better cables, especially if they are audiophile oriented. Steve Hoffman, Gray, et al. @panzrwagn you still seem to be in the wrong thread. This isn’t the thread asking retired IT guys if digit... | |
| Best Speakers for Listening Bar I am building? Some Heretics might be cool. | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @panzrwagn no one owes you anything. You hopped onto a thread where the OP tested multpile AES cables in his system. He heard differences. I’ve heard differences and don’t recall anyone soliciting your wise counsel. | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @panzrwagn since you’ve determined there is no difference, then for you there is no difference. Congrats. But for those who have heard differences…positive differences…considerable positive differences by optimizing cables and optimizing their... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report Clarisys Audio called and they too wish @rick2000 would knock it off. | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report @rick2000 do you have any affiliation or are you just shilling for free? | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @rudyb you are welcome and keep the curiosity going. It depends on your dac and how much buffering it can do and its internal methodology but yes, in general, the fewer steps, processes and handoffs will typically result in fewer challenges. $... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @rudyb You didn’t cause any issues. Questions, explanations, debate and answers have always been welcome at Audiogon. I was at a dinner some years ago with some really smart people (definitely not me) where part of the room was contemplat... | |
| Digital And Analogue Cables @blisshifi indeed. | |
| Digital And Analogue Cables @pegolea @blisshifi @pegolea it isn’t that simple. Google the AES3 (AES/EBU = Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcast Union) standard. As they say, timing is everything. The consumer standard is called Spdif. Virtually identical although... | |
| Digital And Analogue Cables @blisshifi I was trying, rather poorly I might add, to communicate that the analog representation of the digital waveform is a pretty fragile thing. Subject to noise, induced jitter, reflection, etc. Too many in our hobby believe its transmittin... | |
| Digital And Analogue Cables @blisshifi Digital cables transmit a digital, binary signal (0’s and 1’s) before a digital to analog converter (DAC) converts the signal into an analog signal. Its actually an analog waveform which represents a voltage for a one and a differe... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev stick to your plan, overlay your goals and don’t deviate. Alot of well-meaning forum members are certain their giant killer server/streamer/dac/upsampler/reclocker is the answer to your prayers. Only you can determine what will work best... |
