| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S @mbolek makes a fair point, a ddc is often used to clean up USB signals. That is why I have one as I stream using a MacBook Pro. Given that your streamer has I2s output you may not gain much with the ddc. You would be getting s much better cloc... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S If the clock in the A8 is a femtoclock then it’s not as good as the ddc. Likely a toss up to the clock in the Pontus. The ddc clock, at least in the Hermes and above is an OCXO (oven controlled crystal oscillator, which) clock which is much bett... | |
| Tune of the Day “Under the Milky Way” The Church. I love that this thread is eight years old. | |
| Burmester 218..... Burmester is not a superior product over Sim end of story you haven't heard the 861 and compared the two so again you're saying stupid things, I have and if you don't want to believe that I have so be it I really don't care, I've heard both so I ... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S I believe the I2s interface will use the streamer clock when connecting to your dac. If your dac has a better clock than your streamer you might be able to configure it to use the dac clock. Otherwise, you are losing performance. If you use a d... | |
| Burmester 218..... @ckr1969 I was enjoying reading about your and others experiences with Burmester. I’ve heard of it but not heard it. Given the chance I would love to hear it. Glad you enjoy it! | |
| Burmester 218..... What a train wreck of a thread, thanks @zuesman for sucking the life out of it. Not sure why you can’t start your own Sim or Sim/Burmester comparison thread instead of sh*tting all over this one. | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued It’s not the genre, I listen to a lot of music in this genre, it was likely the condescension that your first thread started with. | |
| current and ex-Sonus faber & McIntosh integrated amp (combo) owners - question for you I don’t know what your budget is but given the power handling range of the speakers you’re looking at you might consider the MA9500 @ 300 watts. It also has autoformers like the 8950. The 352 @ 320 watts @ 4 ohms might be a better match power wi... | |
| Speakers for low-level listening I would suggest adjusting your five band equalizer to see if you can get the sound you want at low level with your current speakers before purchasing anything new. I have an MA8900 and due to my neighbors (I live in a townhome) my late night list... | |
| Help with Denafrips Iris 12th to Ares 12th-1 - I2S, no audio There are test tones you can download from denafrips to confirm the correct configuration once you get it passing a signal. | |
| Help with Denafrips Iris 12th to Ares 12th-1 - I2S, no audio Have you configured the I2S connection/output between the Iris and the Aries? Not all hdmi cables will work with I2S. I agree with @nwres to try another interconnect just to make sure you are getting a signal from the Iris to the Aries and you a... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for Luxman 590axii? A few things come to mind as differences: The Fritz is a fuller sound particularly given the lower end extension down to 37Hz. They are rear ported. It’s a more balanced speaker wrt its flat response curve. It does not accentuate any particular ... | |
| Can someone explain the clock sync? It should sync the Hermes internal clock with the Terminator clock as the master. It is intended to reduce jitter. | |
