| Class D @georgehifi - I usually try hard not to get personal on these forums, but you’re continued spewing of misinformation is getting on my nerves. A lot of people on this forum count on knowledgeable people to explain how things work. But you just spou... | |
| Class D @georgehifi - How is that any different from digital audio, where DACs get by (very well I might add) with switching frequencies well below a Mhz? And in DACs, there isn’t a practical way to do global feedback since the input is digital, so it’s m... | |
| Class D Class D is a pulse-width modulation technology, meaning that the audio signal amplitude information is all contained in the width of the pulses (which is analog, by the way). The switching frequency is therefore exactly the same issue as it is wit... | |
| Anybody out there replace their volume control with a Goldpoint using Vishay resistors? No experience with Gold Point, but I build a preamp using a Khozmo attenuator which uses the Vishay naked foil resistors as the series resistor (in a shunt attenuator) and for all other signal path resistors. The shunt resistors are Takman REY. Si... | |
| Pass XP30 preamp makes no difference (from dagogo) ? Wow! (active vs passive vs no preamp) The Terminator has a fairly high output impedance (I also have one). I would not recommend using a passive preamp since you'd have to use one with a fairly high impedance to avoid putting to much load on the DACs outputs. Then you're be driving yo... | |
| Spectral preamp picking up a radio station The frequency band used for AM is not that high (550Khz to 1720Khz). The Spectral preamps of that age were designed with ultra-wide bandwidth, but I assume had some form of RFI filter on them to prevent this kind of interference. It's possible tha... | |
| High end Class D amps? I wish it was a simple as determining a single test parameter like SINAD to determine what's going to sound good and what's going to sound mediocre. But then this hobby would be rather boring. | |
| Coax Digital Out -> XLR Digital Input cable? Got it. Hope you can get it to work the way you want. If you are interested, for a bit more money you could consider a Denafrips Gaia. This is a digital to digital converter and will accept SPDIF in and has AES outputs. It has optically isolated i... | |
| Final Report, Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable I think the Canare cable is a good budget priced cable, and in some situations might be a better choice than "higher end" cables. I used to have a pair of Magnepan 3.5r speakers driven by a Krell FPB-300 and was using older Nordost Red Dawn cable.... | |
| Coax Digital Out -> XLR Digital Input cable? I'm curious why you aren't using the built in streaming support in the Boulder instead of using the Node 2i? | |
| Coax Digital Out -> XLR Digital Input cable? You could also try using Toslink optical since both the Node 2i and Boulder support this. | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? @emergingsoul - clearly Schiit's approach to customer service isn't working for you. Why don't you cancel your order and move on instead of continuing to gripe about it. | |
| what is the advantage of having a Roon core that's not on your computer? I switched from using my Windows PC to using a NUC running Roon Rock. When I had the NUC connected over my home network (through an EtherRegen) to a Bryston streamer, I can't say for sure that the NUC sounded any better. But it was certainly a l... | |
| High end Class D amps? Looks like this one to me. https://www.pascal-audio.com/product/s-pro2/ | |
