| 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. | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? To summarise, here's the question.In descending order of resolution, please list the following recording techniques :-1. Reel-to-reel analog master tape2. PCM at hi-res, either DXD or DSD3. Direct to disc(vinyl) The thing is no-one knows the defin... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Guido is probably right as usual. I would like to share my experience with my Esoteric K-01 and I believe it applies to the D-03 too. If you go to settings, and toggle through to "Analog Output" you have a choice of 0dB or +6dB. Try the +6dB and s... | |
| Help with Preamp selection For your budget, you consider Kimber interconnects and speaker cables such as 4TC or 8TC. Here's a good site for knowledge base.http://www.hifi-advice.com/reviews-Cables-Speaker-Cables.htmlHappy listening. J. | |
| match Jeff Rowland Preamp with Burmester amp There is a house sound to Jeff Rowland preamps that may not be for all ears. From my comparisons(Capri and Corus) with other amps(Ayre K-5xeMP and Constellation Audio Inspiration) at home, the top is a touch sweet with less air and sparkle while t... | |
| Annie Lennox Fans Nice to hear Annie Lennox opening for the movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" with "I Put A Spell On You". Great song to start off a great movie. |
