| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui I honestly don’t understand why @audiotroy gets dumped on so much in this forum. Yes he recommends products he sells, but he always discloses the fact that he is selling them so no one is being fooled. Pretty simple.. the OP posted to celebrate... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital what a bizarre premise. There are about a million variables to consider in this experiment, and since we know nothing about your system, how do we even know if you have vinyl hardware properly set up and optimized that is capable of even remotely... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? I don't use any ,I don't stream... very helpful, extremely valuable input for the OP to consider, thanks | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? So switching to something that might be useful to the OP IMHO asking a computer (Mac or Windows ) to be a streamer direct to the DAC is asking for sub par performance. If you ever look at all that is going on in the background (My Windows Pc is r... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Ok, well fine then. If it’s not the better clocking and noise reduction that makes a DDC make a DAC sound better as both you and I agree that it does, then what exactly is it? Magic fairy dust??? C’mon man so now a different story.. our back an... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? there are plenty of references out there that will show DACs sound better when fed a higher quality signal with lower noise/jitter, which is largely what a DDC does. Just because you (or I) don’t understand exactly why that is the case doesn’t ... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? When a DDC sends a signal to a DAC that has reduced jitter and noise from the USB signal the DAC has much less processing to do. .. "much less processing to do" is just like "do less work to clean up the incoming signal" The DAC is doing the... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Adding a DDC can provide a better signal to a DAC, and even a DAC with a good clock benefits and sounds better by having to do less work to clean up the incoming signal. I do use a DDC (Mutec MC3 + clock) and I do hear a small improvement, but ... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? And here we go....... again If you search the internet you will find at least 1000 threads discussing this exact same question. You will find that they all contain the exact same information, in fact, some of the same people here are posting the ... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album That said, four albums stand out for me as a recommendation. They are diverse, Janis Joplin - Cheap Thrills Dave Brubeck - Take Five Jethro Tull - Aqualung Allman Brothers Band - Live at the Fillmore There are literally hundreds of versions... | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. https://trackingangle.com/equipment/asc-tube-traps-for-life here's another take on it | |
| so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled. So the tiny little gray or blue "triangle" corner traps (popular a while ago) always made me chuckle. Those were not intended for and were never promoted to be bass traps and I’m not promoting these nor commenting on their effectiveness, an... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? No additional loading plugs needed as per Dave. go with what Dave recommends I have the silver chosen based on what I read, and very happy with it, but not any direct comparison with the copper. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? Back to my journey, I just finalized a tube phono with good MM and MC capabilities. We plan to compare the tube phono in following configurations, 1) Fuuga ➡️ Allnic H-6500 MC ➡️ Accuphase E-650 2) Fuuga ➡️ Konus Phono (transimpedance) ➡️ E-650... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? Raul. You have no idea what my background and understanding is. What I do know and understand from many years of experience, is you are delusional if you think you are accurately measuring differences between .01 and .012 dB, and even more delusi... |
