| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... Hi Vvinc... this is my suggestion if you are interested in Ridge Street USB cables... call Robert at RSA... describe your system (particularly your digital front end as well as its playback software, your music preferences, and see what he has to ... | |
| What power cable for DAC? Listeners with Tranquility DACs should (imho) take a good listen to their DAC with a Ridge Street Audio EssenTra dBA power cord. You can find it on the RSA site under the pricing list. I am very surprised at the incredible musicality it brings, as... | |
| How To Route Streaming Music From iPad 2 to DAC? How about the Apple Camera Kit that converts the dock to a USB link...? The Apple store has them and I hear Target as well.:) listening,Ed | |
| Pure music glitch? I'd like to make a suggestion that has worked for me with unexpected hitches, hiccups, and dropouts with Pure Music as well as Fidelia. Before starting the music player software, I turn off the MacMini's Air Port link with my wifi. The usual thing... | |
| Best dac from computer to tube amp ???? Weiss? I agree with Nolitan... based upon personal experience with both the Tranquility SE and Tranquility DACs.:) listening,Ed | |

| Quiet hard drive As to your peripheral HD, I'd take a look at the Oyen MiniPro. The chipsets are important and the drive is silent. I'd recommend the 1TB drive. Run it USB buspower. Give them a call... very cooperative and customer-friendly... I have no affiliatio... | |
| King of the Non oversampling DAC's? Lavry /Kondo ? The two NOS DACs I'd compare (I have both and like both on separate systems) are the dbaudiolabs Tranquility and the Tranquility SE. I agree, it would be very interesting to get a collection of NOS DACs in one room and over a period of time listen... | |
| USB cable..what do you have. I upgraded to the Ridge Street Audio Enopias from the excellent Althias and couldn't be happier. Both are outstanding USB cables, but the Enopias is extraordinary in my system.Walk around sound stage, very neutral, incredible detail, very musical.... | |
| What's your experience with Fidelia? Sirotseta, thanks very much for your thoughts on Fidelia and for mentioning Audirvana. I wasn't aware of that playback sw. I'm using the Tranquility DAC and I'll have to check with the guys who made it regarding the DAC and its relationship to tha... | |
| MacBook Pro or Mac Mini as music server I'd go MacMini. You can use an iTouch or iPhone with the right ap software to run it "headless" on a wireless system.iTunes has its own software remote ap, as does Fidelia.The Mini is perfect server for USB DAC music in my experience. Consider upp... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... The original poster's question was >>Will a higher quality USB cable make a difference when being used between a storage device (bus-powered mobile drive) and a music server (w/o DAC), as opposed to those used between a source (iMac) and USB... | |
| "Best" DAC for a grand or less For USB DACs, dbaudiolabs has a Tranquility DAC (not the Tranquility SE) that imho is an outstanding value under $1k. For a little bit more money, the Tranquility SE is simply a joy to own and use. I have both on separate, different systems, and t... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... Ok, I set up the Dell Windows 7 laptop as the server for the Tranquility SE DAC using iTunes as the playback software, and it was as though the oxygen was sucked out of the soul of the system. Yeah, I tried different USB cords, but I couldn't hear... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... Baka1969... sorry about the typo previously btw...ok, so now I'm thinking that the first chance I get I'll do the easiest of two things: I'll serve my system with my laptop... last year's Dell... and see if I can discern a difference in its audio ... |
