| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Trying a USB cable that lacks a DC line would be indeed a worth while experiment. I believe that my Rowland Aeris DAC does not require a powered USB cable.... I need to check this with the factory. I am using a coaxial connection using an HFC Ultr... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Audioman58, Andreas Coch of Playback Design is a fabulously talented engineer. The zany gang of this DAC watering hole have examined PB and PS Audio DACs at length in the past, as you will be able to read in older pages of this thread... Howeve... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Richard... Matt, if Antipodes DX2 is officially "Off the island", please do post your final comparative findings vs Aurender N10.... Audiophrenic minds crave to know!!!! Saluti, G. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Glory, which Antipodes model are you referring to... And what do you not like about it? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you so much CTSooner for the suggestion.... I have started an Excell spreadsheet to track servers with storage+ripper features... Only three entries this far... Please keep suggestions coming. I am confident that by the time I am ready for t... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Matt, I also fear that ACS might be an add on for other music servers instead of an integrated server+storage+ripper, which is not what I am hoping. Eventually I would like to replace my trusty Esoteric X-01 with one single device to ser... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD THank you so much Matt, I played the Aurender video... I was not able to determine if ACS will be a stand-alone unit sporting ripper+storage+server, or will it be something that one needs to pair to a server like N10?G. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! You are right @stfoth, some 10 years ago, most class D amplifiers that I listen to sounded either hi-fiish -- like a Technics stereo of the early 1980s, or darkling, or hazy, or even outright screetchy... Yet, even some 10 years ago, some class... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you tdimler, do keep us posted!Guido | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I am with you Kuribo!Isn't it funny how when some tube amp, or SS class A or A/B amp, falls flat on its unmusical face, everyone shrugs it off as a isolated flop in an otherwise most vaunted class of operation....Yet, when such a flop is on a clas... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi will62, I have experienced some RF leaks out of older class D amps based on ICEpower 1000ASP modules. I am talking about amps in production until 2010 or so. Typically, an FM tuner picked up hash unless it was some two feet away from the amp. ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi George, it is quite possible that an increase of switching frequencies by by a factor of 2, 5 or possibly 10 might very well enhance the sound of well designed class D amps.... Or at least, such higher frequencies might be a contributing factor... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @sfseayNot sure about how sighted tests of power cables would even work.... May be some rare sighted people are able to hear through their eyes instead of their ears?!Oddly enough, I experience no difficulty discerning differences amongst power co... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! All, doubtless George enjoys throwing red herrings that are well past their prime... And the whole argument of... If a luminary like ML could not do class D right, it must mean that class D is not ready for prime time is, well.... A logical fallac... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD An attractive feature of the Antipodes DX is the integration of a CD reader mechanism. Does anyone know if Aurender may be planning to introduce a similar feature on some upcoming/future server models?Regards, G. |
