Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Steven Alex, on your respective DACs, what signal processing parameters can be controlled by user selectable settings on front panel / remote? E.g...* Upsampling rates, * Filter types and subtypes, * filters on/off,:* Other?Saluti, Guido

Prepare a spreadsheet with your disk catalog.... Upload it to your public dropbox folder... Create an ad on audiogon, and post a link to your catalog.Guido

Alex said... "Yes, I have read your posts that you don't like the sound of AKM DACs, but try to convince the owners of Esoteric K-01, for example, that their playerdoesn't sound good because it has AKM inside."Bingo! A couple of years ago I had an...

Paul79, you will find Matt's system discussed in detail at:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vaslt&1386218525&openmine&zzGuidocorona&4&5#Guidocorona G.

Hi Matt, fabulous report as usual! Would you mind giving a quick test of DSD-S in current break-in state using the identical USB wires and PC as you used for the other DACs.... So to isolate the properties of the box from those imparted by the cor...

Hi Matt, I am not surprised about Veritas small current draw... Their efficiency is probably above 90%... Just to be on the safe side, have you tested current draw with some tracks that have large scale orchestra transients? E.g. 4th movement in M... 
Is computer audio a bust?
Thank you guys... I do in fact chuckle at my own audiophrenic scribblings every day of the week... Pepto-bismol anyone? ... Heard it does wonders when one feels a little corrosively inclined *grins!*

Hi AGear, somehow the URL of the AA thread in question did not make it to your post... Mind reposting it?Thanks, G.

Uhrn... Children... please do chill out and start making nice PDQ, lest the Agon proctors get wind of the emerging electrobrawl and shut down this lovely thread *grins!*G.

Hi Alex, in Aeris, jitter removal is executed in an FPGA rather than inside the DAC.BTW, my own system has the opposite limitation of Matt's... only supported digital out from my battle-hardened X-01 seems to be SPDIF.Cari saluti, G.

Hi Matt, any chance of you performing break-in of OD and DSD-S in parallel? Would shorten the total process.... E.g. If your MacMini were capable of engaging two USB outs at a time.... Or you fed one device via MacMini and the other via any other ...

You are correct Alex, Aeris does not support bit rates greater than 96K under USB input... However, It has been reported to me that Aeris is preferable with SPDIF input over USB for material that is supported by both input protocols... On the othe...

Matt, I could not have said it better myself.... You never asserted that you were going on a quest to discover the "best" digital front end.... You stated very clearly from the very beginning that you were trying to identify the DAC component that...
