| Amarra Hi John,Yes, my Freeway shows up in the Midi as Empirical 1.1. It has the newer "driverless" firmware. | |
| Amarra Hi John, thanks for your help. I guess I was really wanting to know if the Almarra software is a stand-alone product that can work with a person's existing dac. I did visit the Almarra website and saw a small list of dacs that are supported. I'm r... | |
| Amarra Alan, thank you very much! | |
| Amarra Thanks, that software looks interesting. I'll have to contact them for more info, and as to whether it will work with my Wadia. | |
| Amarra I'm not clear on the Almarra product. Is it a hardware (dac)/ software package only, or can you just purchase the software and use your own dac? | |
| Weiss Dac2/Minerva? I was referring to a better buy price-wise between the two Weiss units. I do envy you your experience with the EMM labs CDSA and Weiss Medea, but now you are in the 10K range new.If I had that kind of budget (I don't), I would also look into the P... | |
| Weiss Dac2/Minerva? "A better buy than the Minerva or the Alpha?"Berkeley Alpha - $5000.00Weiss Minerva - $5000.00Weiss Dac2 - $3000.00So if the Weiss Minerva and the Weiss Dac 2 have the same internal electronics and the same sound, it is not hard to determine which... | |
| Weiss Dac2/Minerva? I'd like to hear that too. Something to remember tho, the Weiss Dac2 is $2000.00 less than the Berkeley Alpha. And yet it is supposed to have the same internal electronics as the $5000.00 Weiss Minerva, making the Dac2 a better buy. | |
| Weiss Dac2/Minerva? Bsal, thanks for your opinion. Best price I've found on the Aplha is 5K, I'm hoping to spend a bit less. | |
| Higher End USB Cables Received my Axis usb cable from Locus Design today. Right out of the box, it's impressive. It reminds me of when I went from generic speaker cable to Cardas Golden Cross, a lot more detail & presence. The sound is substantial, if that makes an... | |
| "Internet Radio" Suggestions Please? I listen to "Live 365" for hours at a time every day. Lets you choose from LOTS of stations in your chosen genre. Premium membership plans cost 6.00 to 8.00 per month. After reading the above, I'll have to check out Pandora, too. | |
| Higher End USB Cables Just bit the bullet and ordered an Axis usb cable from Lee at Locus. Thanks to all who contributed an opinion, and thanks to the original poster, Mb9061, for initiating this thread. | |
| LocusDesign Axis or RidgeStreetAudio Alethias USB Marc, thanks for your recommendations, sounds like you've got a great combo going there. My Mac mini goes to my Empirical Audio Feeway 2 usb converter, which feeds my Wadia 860X CDP through it's digital input, utilizing it as a dac. It's then on t... | |
| LocusDesign Axis or RidgeStreetAudio Alethias USB Thanks Robert, that's a big plus! | |
| LocusDesign Axis or RidgeStreetAudio Alethias USB Jtwrace, thanks for the link, I had previously read through that thread. No one in that discussion had tried the Locus Axis, or compared it to the RSA Alethias. Can't find any online comparisons either. |
