| Wow Windows Vista sounds sooo much better thats funny, cause I own an upsampling player in my home theater system. But maybe you interested in stopping-by to blow the dust of it for it me? Oh no wait...My Cosecant does that daily. Nice try though. : ) | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Kana813-really? All music is recorded on SS huh? Tell me more please...This is becoming comical at this point and I am convinced you live on another planet. In fact, I think I might actually be dumber from having read all you have wrote here in th... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Conceptually, alot of what Steve makes is exactly like what you are doing. But keep telling yourself its different, and while your at it maybe throw a slice of bologna in the signal path too. Might sound better for you. Listen I am not going to de... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Actually correction on the Spoiler DAC, I don't believe Steve makes it from the ground up. Maybe I am wrong but this one looks alot like it. http://www.pacificvalve.us/LTDAC602.htmlKana813- you are right, that is the DAC chip Gordon uses. Couple o... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Steve- to answer your question..No I do not think that at all, it's quite the opposite actually. My point was merely to state modified equipment is not for me. Not to say you don't do an excellent job of it, just doesn't appeal to me to have somet... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Jax2-one other comment I forgot to mention about "lacked was in rendering the detail and resolution in that imaging as compared to my SS DAC". This is a great point and one I have thought about alot. Too often I have realized when I went for the i... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Marco-thanks for the write up, good points you make here. I too owned a Brick first, then moved up the line to the Cosecant, and eventually plan to go to the Crimson. The difference between Brick and Cosecant was profound, and I agree with your ob... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Kana813- there you go running your squeezebox again..Is this what happens when you modify one of them? "like to make generalizations about PC upsampling"These aren't generalizations, these are facts. And quite honestly I would be more comfortable ... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Like Jeffreybowman2k & Jax2, I also own a Wavelength DAC, which is non up/over sampling. Just don't lose sight of the fact that over/upsampling is not always synonymous with "better" like most people are led to believe. In fact in alot of impl... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Based on the criteria you listed a MAC seems like the best candidate for you. I can say from experience they sound better than ANY pre-vista based machines, and it is heavenly not having to configure the ASIO driver. MACs also assert better contro... | |
| Wow Windows Vista sounds sooo much better "ou don't need to change your USB interface with Vista,but it may not pass 24/96, so you couldn't use Vista's upsampler."One should NOT just accept that 24/96 upsampling will always sound better. Quite honestly, in most of the lower quality DAC im... | |
| iMac Sound Quality Better off with USB output for sound. First off, just because something is fiber does NOT mean it is the better choice. In this case if your goal is to isolate then yes you can use the optical connection. But...USB is a bi-directional connection, ... | |
| VTL 2.5 without stereo output I have a different issue, but similar in scope, whereby everything sound fine, and coming through in stereo. But, when you switch the balance left to right, the sound mutes in only one channel when turned left, and then when turned right still has... | |
| VTL ST-150 w/ B&W I wouldn't put an EQ anywhere near my system. | |
| How are VTL's power amp ? "I certainly wouldn't call VTL's latest amps' sound a classic tube sound like that of Cary Audio or older C-J, but more neutral like that of neutral-sounding solid state amps with more dimensionality."Spot on! |
