| Thoughts on DAC option Changing to a wired connection on the Auralic mini seems to have made a huge improvement. Will take some time to confirm but firm impressions are very promising | |
| Thoughts on DAC option The Audio Mirror Tubadore V is 110v and would need to be modified to run on 240v. Assume the rest of the Tubadore range is the same. From Audio Mirror: It can be converted, but need some soldering inside. I can convert it if you send it to me.... | |
| Thoughts on DAC option Much cleaner than a couple of Mullards I tried, that's for sure. Also picked up some pretty well priced Jan Sylvania military spec tubes, but waiting until the Brimars have done their dash. An Audiogon member rated those in his Prima Luna. Whic... | |
| Thoughts on DAC option @glenmschneider @soix the streamer is close enough to the router to give this a shot. I'll see where this takes me, along with the Vega filters. Google on the way for the smoothlan. @miguelderivero an R2R has been on my mind. May have a route to... | |
| Thoughts on DAC option The other improvements previously mentioned are: AMP power cable - Isotek Ultima Pre-Amp tubes - military grade Brimar 12AU7 | |
| Thoughts on DAC option Thank-you all for your insights, very much appreciated. A few questions to address: Budget is flexible but should be in line with the system as a whole. I'm in New Zealand and the system as a whole is currently sitting around NZD 20k. In terms... | |
| Do other DACs do this? Auralic Vega And as a final update for anyone else who may have this issue, I added an Auralic Aries Mini into the system and it does not do this. It is using the coax SPDIF connection to the Vega dac. | |
| Windows Sound Basics - ASIO WASAPI etc Well, some progress at least, the 'Exclusive Mode'is indeed in the Tidal App, just not from the settings menu. Bottom right is a sound output icon and against the 'Speakers' with DAC name is 'More Settings'. Will still look to a more system wide... | |
| Windows Sound Basics - ASIO WASAPI etc Thanks @drrsutliff . The Gryphon drivers were for your DAC? This would make sense to me technically. I am not aware of any configuration available in the Vega driver, but worth a deeper dive on that. | |
| Windows Sound Basics - ASIO WASAPI etc Thanks @drrsutliff I need to find out more about the ASIO driver. I have the latest Vega driver, and indeed needed it to get the dac working. Maybe there is additional configuration to bypass the windows sample rate? | |
| Windows Sound Basics - ASIO WASAPI etc That's good to know, thank-you @gdaddy1 | |
| Battle of the Older DAC @jond that seller is in NZ. Trademe is the NZ equivalent of Craigslist. | |
| Battle of the Older DAC I also suspect this is a steal at roughly USD$2155 Bel Canto DAC 3.7, VB Power Supply, Ref Link Asynchronous USB Converter https://www.trademe.co.nz/4907309877 | |
| Battle of the Older DAC There is a lot to take in here, particularly for someone as new to the game as I am, and that's without the ASR takes. @jji666 it is an excellent point to start with what i am trying to achieve. And this is where newbies with less trained ears ca... | |
| Battle of the Older DAC Many thanks for the recommendations, and I always enjoy the discussions within this community. Plenty of research ahead, which suits me just fine. Also plenty of envy for the options and service available in the US. For those of us outside it is... |
