| USB DAC Dumb david - to me there are 2 questions that need to be answered to address your original inquiry about using an older CDP w/the DAC in your HP amp...1) Can your CDP provide a digital signal that the DAC in your headphone amp can process? 2) If the CD... | |
| USB DAC Dumb If the CDP has digital out, YES, it might be possible to send signal to your headphone amp/DAC assuming compatibility (with or without an adapter) between the output of your CDP and the input to your DAC. IF the CDP only has RCAs outputting an an... | |
| Too much power? EV - Here's a relevant discussion that includes comments by Almarg. It might be more helpful than the one I originally had in mind. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/good-impedance-match-for-precision-fidelity-c-7arAND here's a link to the f... | |
| Too much power? EV - I have mine installed on the inputs to the pre-amp. There was some previous discussion about attenuators on another thread (6 months ago?). Almarg had some useful input (as he usually does) on placement of the attenuators. I'm fuzzy on the... | |
| Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered" Falconquest - I read with interest your comments on the "unmastered" SACD version of Cafe Blue. I noted the same blurb about it in Elusive Disc and in fact shared that with my brother-in-law who owns a professional recording studio. He can do it... | |
| Too much power? EV- I don't know your speakers or their sensitivity. While you could do damage over driving speakers with an excessively powerful amp, I think what you describe (limited range of volume control) might be a function of the amount of gain from the ... | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Glenn Hughes "Music for the Divine". This album is really working. Sonics are not the best but the songs and arrangements have grown on me since I first listened to it a day or so ago. One heck of a hard rockin' album. Thanks to A'gon member "... | |
| Static noise help please Eddie - do you already have that Sony portable power supply? I'm just wondering how long it will last in an audio application. You could also just try using a typical wall plug/USB converter like for charging an iPone...or even a powered USB hu... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report mmb - Thanks for those titles. I just sampled them on Spotify. The sound quality on all 3 is very good. The musicianship seems first class. Thanks again. | |
| Static noise help please Eddie - I'm guessing you will be wanting to try a "double-headed" USB cable that separates signal from power. The one from iFi (Gemini Dual Headed USB cable $265 for 1.5M on Amazon) is kind of pricey, I think. There are some lower cost options. ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? radfrad - Excellent. What RG did you order? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hello again 77....Interesting you mention Bolin w/Cobham. I’m actually, as I write, listening to Bolin on Alphonse Mouzon’s "Mind Transplant" and, earlier today, saved Cobham’s "Spectrum" (all this courtesy of Spotify) - so I will listen to that l... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hey there 77...will do. I'm a fan of James Gang...well at least while Joe Walsh was there. Don't know them after Thirds. |
