| Listening notes on Soekris 2541 DAC and Bricasti M3 DAC @jjss49 I'm confused abotu what you are saying re: balanced out. My read of the specs is that the 2541 has dual differential DAC ladders inside. This means no opamp is required to invert the unbalanced for a full balanced output. Can you confir... | |
| I think I just smoked my Amp i lso dont think the discussion on 2 fuses above sounds right. You almost certainly have one line fuse on the 117 VAC (house power). Other fuses woudl either be rails (+ and - power supplies) or speakers. Both are in pairs. So i can see 3, btu n... | |
| I think I just smoked my Amp if you blew a fuse -- or anything else that quickly either you have a coincidence, ro, i suspect, you shorted something liek a speaker wire, and that short likely is still there. Check carefully. In fact begin withe the speakers disconnected. if... | |
| Severe short term audio distortion when watching Netflix Many good suggestions but my first thought was interference | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? Sure. If only we knew everything to measure, and the subjective-weighted impact of each, and we measured each and every one. if oyu think that’s extreme, the subjective-weighted part was the Bell Labs approach int he 1930s and resulted in A a... | |
| Sound quality of Roon Commenting on above, i strongly suggest a wired connection if you can. It leads to significantly fewer dropouts etc., - although mostly if you are sending high rate data. There are many options to either lower or raise both the SQ and load in Roo... | |
| Sound quality of Roon i'll add to #lalitk - you do not need a lot of power to run Roon -- big caveat -- unless you want to use DSP and/or synch and upsample to multiple rooms. The you may. I trialed Roon on a 12 year old macbook pro laptop running normal software in ... | |
| Sound quality of Roon multi-room, room, synch, remote via phone/tablet/PC, DSP, metadata library..... You don't actually need any of this, but i want it. | |
| Power isolator versus need for a better Power supply simple answer: no. The wall wart creates its own noise. BTW it creates noise for what it powers and also feeds some noise back into your other stuff, since its on the "clean" side of your isolator. | |
| Sound quality of Roon How does Roon Sound? I copuld add my opinion here. I have one. I also have a nose, and a cup of coffee, none of the three are useful to you. Roon sounds liek the systems its implemented with. As noted, the DAC is #1. A streamer ought to make l... | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections A few comments 1 XLR is not the same as inherently balanced. While XLR means a balanced interconnect far too many achieve it with an extra (meaning more noise, distortion) stage to convert an otherwise unbalanced circuit to balanced. Don't be ... | |
| Chord DAVE DAC Hi Jack, Not your question - but ditch the MP3s and subscribe to Tidal or Qobuz. You;ll get at minimum full FLAC ro HD, and a huge library. You simply cant get good meals from poor ingredients As to ASR - they measure. I guess you;ve been i... | |
| Revox Straight Line Turntables AS Eric said, its very unlikely. Certainly the flagship product that i recall from the period did not. I'm nto even sure why you ask. But some model might have. In any event, it realyl doesn't matter. Bypassing an internal Phono stage is prett... | |
| MoFi controversy I think the bottom line is that the vast majority of studios are all digital. And almost all remasters (and wow have they improved some classic rock!) are performed digitally. So all they will have to work with, are 24 bit/96-192 ksps masters. ... | |
| Phono Stage Gain - how does it impact sound? Sensitivity ought not affect frequency response. I presume that's mechanical cartridge break-in (or you just dont like the response of either the cart or the phono stage, which, after all, is an equalizer). I presume your question as asked is ... |
