| Scott Nixon Tubedac = WOW One more thing, don't stack the DAC and transformer...HUUUUUMMMMMMM. | |
| Scott Nixon Tubedac = WOW Yes, the SN is very good indeed and I'm glad I purchased it.I think my set up might have something to do with it as well. Focal Utopia Be speakers and Krell amplification. With the DAC1, the listener could get tired of the treble at times. A very ... | |
| Airport Express "local clock" issue? Personally, I use a Benchmark DAC1 and I'm pretty happy with it. It doesn't have the local clock issue and plays the AE perfectly. That's actually the way I listen to music most of the time. | |
| Airport Express "local clock" issue? It seems your DAC is "slow to lift mute" from a no signal condition. To determine if it's your DAC or if it's the AE/Mac combo moving betwee songs, enable crossfading or whatever it's called. This way the "song" never ends, it fades in to the next... | |
| New DAC recommendation $1K, hopefully tube. Now look what you did Tom. Just when my new iMac and man cave are set up you go and ask about ATV and Havana. Now I'm interested in what you find. And if you mod your apple TV, I'd like to see it.Gerardo | |
| AppleTV work with USB DAC? http://www.odysseyaudiohk.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1223389736Have a look at the above link Tom. They are the fellas over in Hong Kong who did the usb filter mod on the ATV. They also do comparisons using a DAC1 and Krell 400xi. | |
| AppleTV work with USB DAC? Hi Tom, yes I remember emailing back and forth over the 400xi/SACD combo. Currently I'm still using the 400xi and DVD Standard w/HDMI upgrade even though I don't watch movies on it. I actually thought about picking up an SACD on ebay a couple week... | |
| AppleTV work with USB DAC? Don't think a USB DAC can be used on Apple TV. I've used the ATV with excellent results thru a Benchmark DAC1. Unless you are up to doing serious mods, it's probably best to use optical out.***On a side note, I read in a forum about a couple audio... | |
| Krell's new direct i-pod connection. Does the Krell 300 take an analog or digital signal out of the ipod? Does it do it's own D to A conversion?I have the 400xi and really like it, but no ipod controls. Itunes and a Benchmark DAC1 do the trick for me...balanced of course.gherrera1 | |
| Art Dudley Listening - Stereophile Dec '09 Nordost Rsrex, you are correct sir. The "spread" of cabling in my system is rather wide, but I'm happy with the way it comes together. Quattro fil IC, Red Dawn SC, and Shiva PC. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Kijanki,That's the perfect excuse to upgrade. Tell the wife your system sounds better with the 10% wire rule. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System In my $16K system of new and used components, all the wire adds up to a hair under 10%. This wasn't by design, but I just happened to come across this posts and did the math. I was surprised by how close to 10% I was without even knowing it!Krell/... | |
| Art Dudley Listening - Stereophile Dec '09 Nordost Rfsayles, I completely agree with you regarding his writing style. It did seem as he wasn't too thrilled, but was cordial and professional about it.I'd be VERY interested to read or hear a comparison between Odin/Thor and Valhalla signal wire. Sin... | |
| Art Dudley Listening - Stereophile Dec '09 Nordost Blindjim, I just found it odd that the speaker cables where the highest line, followed by the interconnect, and finally the power cable. I can see their reasoning in using low end power cables because in my system, they made the least difference.H... | |
| Best IC and Speaker Cable for DIY Thumbs up on the canare 4s11. I've used it and it's the perfect diy solution. |
