| Ayre MX-R Twenty upgrade Congrats, Spear18.I am a big fan too, having just got the entry level K-5xeMP. My dealer tells me the KX-5 Twenty is on the way and I can upgrade to that by just paying the difference. Seems Ayre works hard to retain customer loyalty. Meanwhile, I... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman,Just so you know, I was not referring to you. I think it is very informative that you brought up the measurements. Now that I know it may drop the gain, I would think twice about purchasing these cables before a home audition. Cheers! J. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz +1, Calvinj.We come to a forum like this to share our experience, learn from the experience of others and then make an informed decision before we go out there to make a purchase. After that, if your purchase synergises well with your system, then... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Wisnon,Wow, that is practically a who's who list of dac's. I wish I could audition the Lampi7 but no such luck where I live. When you have heard them all and settled on the Lampi7, it's got to be something very special. :) | |
| Advice on upgrade You gotta be a vet surgeon specialising in ORL and elephants...ah, a wolf. Back to the OP, you may want to upgrade your interconnects and/or speaker cables. | |
| Esoteric K-01/K-03 Owners One thing that is very important. You need to do the fresh reinstall on your computer without a usb connection to the K-03. Connect the usb cable from your computer to the K-03 only AFTER the driver installation is completed. | |
| Esoteric K-01/K-03 Owners Try uninstalling the driver, reboot your pc/Mac and do a fresh reinstall from the website. Hope this works. | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. Specs are important in matching impedances of preamp and amp,source output with preamp, or an amp with a speaker's sensitivity/load impedance. But at the end of the day, it is all about our own ears and personal taste. Any new component should ide... | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC If it is purely a memory issue, then it may not take too long. RAM chips are getting faster and cheaper by the day. But for now, we'll just make the best of it. It's very interesting to note that opinions of PP vs 1.2.1 can be so divergent. | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC Wisnon, Yes, I meant firmware rolling. Sabai,I get that reboot is required for each firmware version. That's why it would be great if you could change each FPGA version as a setting option on the fly without the reboot. I guess that may be hoping ... | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC Sabai,What I mean by switchable on a whim, is that one could have all the different versions switched to instantly without a reboot, use each to compare for different recordings(much like filter/upsampling settings) and then choose a particular ve... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Fsmithjack,This is very interesting. The PP upgrade was just released a week ago and though you seem impressed by it, you are going for the Bricasti M1 now. The Bricasti M1 has had great reviews but I am just curious - did you bring back a demo un... | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC Sabai,It is as usual, about system synergy and personal taste. I guess those with already warm systems may cotton up to PP but those whose systems are on the lean/dry side would rather stay with v1.2.1. My humble suggestion to the PS Audio team wo... | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC Ejr1953,You may want to stick to the 1.2.1 version a while longer. Folks over at the PS Audio forum site are rolling back and forth the 1.2.1 vs the latest Pikes Peak update. The gist of it is that, compared to 1.2.1 :-1. PP gives more detail, wid... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 On page 16 of the C-03X manual, there is a section on adjusting the output level from -18 to +18dB in 0.5dB increments. |
