| High Quality dac with network streamer saves $1,000s a standard in professional recording studios for well over a decade I think this is the key take away here. Unless you want to spend megabucks get a pro-audio based device like this and don't look back. Lynx, Antelope, Apogee, and other pro aud... | |
| How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS avoid bandwidth limited optical and go USB I've tested all of them and have gravitated to I2S what part of "his streamer only has coax and optical outputs" are you all having trouble with? | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? If you can hear it then a test device can pick it up If true, this means that we have a complete understanding about how the human brain receives and process external stimulus. It means we have been able to quantify everything that has to do wi... | |
| OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke? Through magnetic conduction, NPS-1260 works on a micro-level to bind the electrons in your connectors, improve their transfer of energy, and direct the current more fluidly I have no idea if it improves the sound, but this marketing statement ... | |
| How are most audiophiles going from streamers to DACS Wow, a tremendous amount of pontificating, bad advice, and stuff that doesn't apply, If you are going to give "advice" you could at least see what the equipment is capable of. First of all, the DAC has USB, optical, and coax digital input while th... | |
| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! Keeping the signal digital and in the digital domain into a digital power amp where it is converted to analog for your speakers will produce the best possible sound. Wow, talk about blanket statements. In any case, there is really no such thin... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Nada. Audio signals are AC. This conclusion is based on a gross misunderstanding about how electricity and electronics works. It assumes the current flows first in one direction and then the other since it is called "alternating current" . Nothing... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? One, really low bass is non-directional. We sense almost nothing but volume. Another one, really high ultra-sonic frequencies. We cannot hear these at all! At least not on a hearing test playing only these frequencies, we hear nothing. I ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? In a broad sense, the topic is devoted to audio anomalies that cannot be explained from the point of view of ordinary physics. got it There is a lot to audio that you can not measure at all, I don't disagree with the overall idea of that, ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? if you start with a flawed premise you often end up with a flawed conclusion.That is certainly true. My point was, perhaps it was obvious, the thread started with a declaration that the human ear/brain isn’t able to resolve changes below .3 dB, wh... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? The smallest step-change in amplitude that can be detected by ear is about 0.3dB for a pure tone. In more realistic situations it is 0.5 to 1.0dB'". This is about a 10% change. (Harris J.D.) if you start with a flawed premise you often end up w... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? they have the same checksum. This is an absolutely indisputable proof of their similarity no matter what you call these files and no matter how you created them. I am assuming you mean identical rather than similar, but in any case a checksum doe... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Wire directionality in an alternating current (AC) application? How interesting. This is a very common misconception. This is not about current, which is also commonly misunderstood as a "flow of electrons." Electrons do not flow down a wire li... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts The 4 point 14 has been here for a few days. No regrets even though it is about $1000 an inch more than the 11. “ substantial and satisfying “ sums it up. The arm just seems to be in control. I know blacker background is a tired cliche but best I ... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts I was having problems finding the compliance measurement for the SoundSmith Sussurro ES. and even if you find it you are relying on somebody else measuring it accurately, along with the difference in how it is typically done in Japan vs. elsewhere... |
