| Wireless for the Keyboard, Not the Computer? From my understanding jitter through USB and Toslink are two totally separate things.Doesn't the jitter from USB have more to do with how the end device or USB Dac deciphers the signal changing it eventually over to I2S?Or by using a clock in the ... | |
| Wireless for the Keyboard, Not the Computer? I also wonder if you could use something like one of these DMA2200 which requires no wires at all from the PC. Just hook this to your other monitor/Dac and been done with it. | |
| Wireless for the Keyboard, Not the Computer? The newer Dells are pretty darn quiet. I use mine with Blue tooth keyboard and mouse. I also have a remote for the PC. I was using it in the room just fine. As the hard drives started piling up, I decided to move it to a closet in the hallway just... | |
| TVC Promethius versus Bent From what I've read,the one advantage of the TVC is that it provides galvanic isolation, an autoformer cannot.Will this make a difference is sound for better or worse..I have no idea. | |
| Goodbye CD's I would suggest to anyone new to this hobby to move towards an HD based music system from the start. For someone that already has a nice CD player..I would enjoy it for what it is, but slowly transition over to the HD based system as well. Chances... | |
| Receiver with Audyssey I've also had Meridian separates. The Denon AVR1708 should fit your needs. I use one of these as well . It has two HDMI inputs and one HDMI monitor output. The Audyssey software works very well! I was surprised at how good this unit sounds. It has... | |
| which dac? Hi Jim..I've shipped several of my components off for others to audition. I found very nice audiophiles in New York and southern Florida that did the same. I had a chance to hear equipment I would have never heard because of them. There are some t... | |
| which dac? Blindjim,Too bad you're not closer. I would loan my Bel Canto Dac 3 to you, so you could do some comparisons. Honestly I don't think there is a such thing as the best. I do believe you'd like the BC3. Whether you'd like it over the Lavry I do not ... | |
| what can I get by with? Now that is possible with a good 15 watts, if the speakers are an easy 89 dB. I run 89 dB speakers with a 14 wpc SET. Room isn't huge and I've never heard my amplifier congest. The more you turn in up the more open it becomes. Just get a REAL SET ... | |
| TVC Promethius versus Bent Very cool! glad to see you enjoying the TVC.Have you tried putting the pot in a box back in the system yet? | |
| oversampling vs. non-oversampling - what's the dif Grazi,I don't know of any NOS Dacs that can decode SACD or DVD-A.Strictly redbook up to 48 kHz, although some will take up to 96 kHz and then downsample it.Audio Sector is another good NOS Dac. Having owned a couple of NOS Dacs and now upsampling.... | |
| oversampling vs. non-oversampling - what's the dif It will all boil down to your taste, both can be terrific. You really need to pick out a few an experiment to see what your preferences are.I know that sounds crazy..but it is very easy to do. Start off with some of the darling inexpensive NON OS ... | |
| Connect Macs to analog amplifier? Yes the Trends can be used as a Dac. I wouldn't use it this way though. It is more geared for use as a USB converter.As far as I know the Fubar is just a USB Dac. | |
| Tube amps good with Emerald Physics CS2 speakers? The DSP is between the preamp and the amplifier. The amplifiers connect directly to the drivers of the speakers. | |
| Connect Macs to analog amplifier? The Trends audio unit would be a very good start if you already owned a Dac. An outboard Dac is the best way to go IMHO. Get as much of the conversion away from the Mac as you can. You will hear an improvement in sound. There are some inexpensive ... |
