| Cardas Cold Forging Well to me, it looks like a great termination process, and I have ordered my Golden Reference speaker cables with this termination. To those who doubt its benefits, don't have it done... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply Congrats on building your power supply. I for one am convinced that proper power supplies can make a huge difference. For those not mechanically or technically inclined, Bolder Cable makes a nice ps for the mini. It's a bit pricey ($625.00). | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Thanks, I have a feeling your set-up might put mine to shame.I got my Wireworld Supernova 6 at GCAudio.com (Galen Carol Audio), they can also be had from The Cable Co. It sounds surprisingly good.Yep, Steve at GNSC is a good guy, I've had the oppo... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others I use the Oppo BDP-83 (non-SE version) for blu-ray as well. I don't use it as a cdp (I have a Wadia 860X w/GNSC Statement mods for that), but I do often watch and listen to music concert dvd's & blu-rays. I feed the Oppo's optical digital outp... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Audiofun, you are indeed fortunate to have access to such high end digital gear to audition at home. Count me as a happy Weiss Dac2/Amarra/mac mini owner (at the moment), but I'm enjoying your observations and comparisons. I have a feeling the MSB... | |
| Cardas Clear USB cable... anyone tried it? I had a Locus Design Axis usb cable, it was VERY good. It's pricey too, but to me it was worth it. I changed dacs to a firewire dac and no longer needed a usb cable or I would still have it. | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Audiofun, you should really try the Weiss dac along with the Amarra software. The Amarrra works in tandem the iTunes interface. It may change your opinion of the Weiss. I have the Weiss Dac2 myself, and own the Amarra software as well. Note that t... | |
| CDP breaks and I move to computer-based... Have to agree with Audiofun here, try the Wireworld Supernova 6 glass toslink, from the CableCo or GCAudio.com. Toslink to mini-toslink connectors I think is what you would need. | |
| Opus 21 CD vs Mac Mini... Opus wins Bwyoung, over at Computer Audiophile they recommend this inexpensive cable:http://www.firewiredirect.com/product/89/There is also this, at the other end of the spectrum:http://www.thecableco.com/product.php?id=5907and this:http://www.thecableco.co... | |
| Weiss Dac2 - anyone use upgraded feet on it? Hey, I assumed it was OK to ask questions here...Thanks to those who responded with helpful info. | |
| Opus 21 CD vs Mac Mini... Opus wins OMO, either upgrade your firewire to spdif converter, or look into a good usb to spdif converter (Empirical Audio Offramp 3). Make sure you have a good spdif cable (and usb cable if you decide to go that route). Cables do make a difference. I use ... | |

| Oppo BDP-83 optical out for 2ch stereo from blu-r? Am doing the A/B listening now, connected the analog outputs with a 3m pair of Kimber Hero's. So far, the toslink into the Weiss Dac2 (it does have a toslink input after all, duh) sounds better than the analog output direct to the preamp, which do... | |
| Oppo BDP-83 optical out for 2ch stereo from blu-r? Here's what Oppo says in the manual:"Due to bandwidth limitations, high resolution audio formats such as Dolby Digital plus, Dolbt TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution and DTS-HD Master Audio cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital output.... | |
| Oppo BDP-83 optical out for 2ch stereo from blu-r? I haven't done the A/B listening yet, my Oppo and my stereo rig are 3 meters apart. I have the 3 meter glass toslink, not the 3 meter analog ic's. I thought I'd get some opinions before I sprang for a pair. BTW, I won't be using the Oppo as a cdp,... |
