| What the heck is Resolution Audio Carl, Jeff Kalt didn't say upsampling is hogwash, just that it is not a "new technology" and is identical to oversampling. The jist of his e-mail (as I interpreted it) is that oversampling (or upsampling) allows the use of more sophisticated (and ... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Carl, it seems that Resolution Audio wasn't frustrated by my question. Why must you? | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge The following is the actual e-mail (in entirety) sent to me (this morning) by Resolution Audio in response to my question concerning upsampling / oversampling (the question was almost verbatim to my original question above). Indeed, there is no te... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Thanks Onhwy61. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a little confused about this subject. The two processes appear VERY similar to me and yet there is quite a stir about upsampling DACs. | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Perhaps I need to ask an even more elementary question to clear my confusion: with an upsampled datastream, what "information" is populated into the additional 16,711,680 word states (16 bit to 24 bit) and what information is packed in between the... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Megasam, just went out to the local Borders and read the article in "HiFi News and Record Review". Thanks for the notice. Not sure what they were trying to suggest? They only compared the sound of two different units. I would have liked to hear ab... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Craig, yes dither (white noise) is added to increase resolution. Not sure exactly how that works, but I believe it elevates the recorded data up from the near the least significant bit, reducing quantization errors. Interpolation is basically what... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Perhaps someone on this thread can clear something up for me? I asked the question before on Audiogon: what are the differences between upsampling and oversampling? Carl, you seem to be one of many fans of the improvement wrought by upsampling. Ca... | |
| What the heck is Resolution Audio Does either the CD50 or CD55 have balanced (XLR) outputs? I need to run long interconnect, if I go directly to the amps. Will they drive 7m interconnect? | |
| Walker High Definition Links How much do they cost and where do they go? I've got Avalon Eclipse speakers and the speaker terminal blocks are under the speaker. Are they bulky? | |
| Long XLR interconnect for Pre/Amp? Anyone have any recommendations? New MIT Shotgun? Transparent Ultra? Synergistic (?)? | |
| Whats a good tube preamp? Sagger, I'll defer to you on the neutrality of the current models of CJ. I do think that from a transparency standpoint, an ARC LS15 does sound more transparent than say a PV10. Perhaps that is due to (as Asa said) the "challenge upper midrange". ... | |
| NATURAL CHERRY VENEER I have Avalon Eclipse speakers in quilted cherry. I've had them for about 4 years and they, of course, have darkened. To my eyes -- and those of friends who periodically visit -- the color has remained the same for the last two years. Natural cher... | |
| Help! Forte, Linn, Magnepan. NOT RIGHT? I LOVED the Forte 1A (50w/ch stereo) with my Thiel 1.2's and also with a much earlier Vandersteen 2C, but I really think it would run out of gas driving the big maggies. I had compared the 1A to higher powered Counterpoint and B&K M200's, but ... | |
| Help! Forte, Linn, Magnepan. NOT RIGHT? The Tympani's are a hard speaker to drive. That said, I'm not sure the Forte's have the "juice" to get these speakers to come alive. I had a Forte 1A (50w/ch stereo) about 6 years ago and had brought it to the Magnepan dealer to hear how the 1A / ... |
