| Audiophile USB to PCM Rives:You rock the house!!! What a great recommendation that really worked for me. Please excuse me for not buying it from you!!! i just might pick myself up a Parc and Parc Plus and unload my 3 TacT RCS 2.0s units that I use for total room correc... | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. Redkiwi:i agree with everything you have said regarding the freedom of using ones computer as a soundserver. It just makes listening so much easier. Is the sound as good as my modified Wadia 270se?? No. But the convenience makes listening to tunes... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Wow....the Waveterminal U24 is spectacular. Just plugged it in and my Genesis Lens immediately read 44.1 khz. The sonics are outstanding. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to do some a/b comparisons with the Xitel. initial impression is that there i... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM This thread has been very useful. My thanks to Eric, Dmitrydr, Rsbeck, and Ultraviolet, and onhwy61!! I actually understand quite a bit (no pun intended!!) more now than I did before. The signal coming through the USB port is 1's and 0's just like... | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. Dmitrydr: You really should try a squeezebox. From a sonic perspective, it is truly outstanding. The only modification I have done is that I am running mine from the 5V output of a B&K Linear power supply instead of from the one supplied. I al... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Rsbeck:Thanks!! Do you think any or these converters are better or worse than each other?? There are lots of them; M-Audio, Edirol, Xitel, Apogee, Ego Systems, etc. Also, I'm interested in the differences between streaming through a network as the... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM I decided to go with the Waveterminal U24. My understanding is that it is very well made and will provide a bit accurate stream with no conversion from 44.1 to 48k. I'll report here what I find.Thanks to all for your kind help.harry | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Onhwy61:Technically, I believe you are correct. The files on the hard drive are PCM, but they must be converted to a stream that can be read by a dac. I believe that there is a header that is stripped from the stream...and then, yes...it is simply... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM I want to use my audiophile grade DAC. It accepts a 16/44.1 signal....which I thought was PCM. Doesn't a CD player put out PCM. I thought I needed to convert the USB signal to PCM for it to be able to be accepted by the DAC. Is this incorrect? | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM No problemo Rsbeck!!! Edirol DOES make one that converts usb to pcm. As does M-audio, Xitel, Waveterminal, and several others. I'm just trying to find which one is the best.harry | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Rsbeck:Do you use the Apogee to convert to analog?? I'm just looking to convert from USB to PCM so I can run it into my dCS gear.Onhywy61:Yes, dCS has a firewire version but I don't have it. harry | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Any other recommendations for a laptop??Harry | |

| Power Conditioner Advice More followup:Used solid copper Romex for the dedicated lines to Wattgate 381's. Had some wired in A phase and some in B phase. I'm running monoblocks with out of phase power to cancel out some low level noise as in Jon Scull's stereophile article... |
