| USB sucks USB for a DAC??? Never.I guess you realize that dogmatic statements like this without any context and nothing to back them up are basically worthless and add nothing to the conversation?Noise in the signal will mask any resolution below the noise ... | |
| USB sucks You're arguing that analog systems have infinite resolution, which is simply false. It's a commonly held belief, though.I'm not arguing, I'm stating a fact, which has nothing to do with bandwidth or resolution. You are confusing bandwidth which yo... | |
| USB sucks Since the digital voltage level can’t change instantaneously (a perfect square wave) it bears some resemblance to an analog signal’s infinite voltage levels.Not really. That the square wave isn't perfect doesn't make it an analog signal.yes, we ag... | |
| USB sucks @jaytor sed:I think what @rixthetrick was getting at is that any signal on a cable is inherently analogHow’s that? With all due respect, do you actually understand what makes analog signals analog and how digital signals are different. ABout the o... | |
| USB sucks Sorry, back to the difference in sending data over USB like we do with file transfers and audio uses.. to further my point above , despite what the angry poster says, .Audio and file transfers are different as file transfer protocols have error co... | |
| USB sucks @herman "Transmitting audio data in realtime is not the same as transferring TeraBytes of data files. You should look into it before making such statements."Ok go ahead and explain me how it is different!! YOU should study about async digital com... | |
| USB sucks Thanks for the info Furzy, looks interesting, I may try it to compare to USB as the Antelope has spdif and optical inputs. However, even though I doubt it would be significant, those inputs are limited to 192 and 96K respectively whereas I can fee... | |
| USB sucks Since Rednet is a proprietary Focusrite interface that limits you to using Dante type pro audio interfaces that no high end DAC uses, doesn't that kind of make it so limited in scope that it really doesn't pertain to a discussion on an audiophile ... | |
| This looks like a terrible investment pig in a poke other than the sealed ones.. too much riskand what's with how they are displayed laying on their spines? | |
| USB sucks USB is a simple serial digital transport with checksumming and buffering!Transmitting audio data in realtime is not the same as transferring TeraBytes of data files. You should look into it before making such statements. | |
| Uh Oh, Not another Bi-Wire thread... Bi-cabling speakers implies using double quantity of cable. not necessarily. Some will terminate their cables as bi-wire for a small fee. Cardas adds $200 to the cost of their Clear Cygnus as an example.this also assumes that spending more on cabl... | |
| DCS DACs vs each other Antelope Eclipse 384, about $2500 used.... superbpossible issue.. for a remote you have to use their computer interface, works fine, just no physical remoteI had both a Rossini and a Chord DAVE and the Antelope holds it's ownyou could get a used ... | |
| Chord Dave - Missing soundstage width It is all about phase (when the signals from the left and right reach your ears) which is easily manipulated when making the recording. If one system has a different width then one is preserving the original phase better than the other i.e the oth... | |
| Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns Why in the world are you looking at 200 watt amps for these?Here’s what you do. Buy a Chord DAVE. The output from the RCA jacks is more than enough to drive the Khorns to rocking levels. You get a world class DAC - preamp - and in this case power ... | |
| 10K system too broad, ditto for MillerCarbon's responseis it based on streaming from the internet, playing records, CDS ???is there a certain genre to focus on? HipHop or rock that requires a strong bass line or classical or ???In any case an integrated fron... |
