| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Scott,1. What happens to 24/192 data after transmission from the CAT to the DAC which supports sampling rates up to the maximum of 176.4?2. Can the CAT output to any other dac or is it, by virtue of its single output which is usb, limited only ... | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? I guess we can hear from Lecram whether he would like to mod his old krell amps. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks, Scott, for your very informative reply.Please correct if I am wrong - for 24/192 data, the transport can transmit this to the DAC which then downsamples to 24/96? | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? Hi Lecram,I have had my Bryston 28B SST2 monos for several years now and I am still very happy with it. Going by what you already have, the Brystons are a good match with the Maggies and Jadis tubed preamp. Maggies are usually demoed at shows with... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Scott,All that you have said is indeed music to my ears, so to speak. If I do get the CAD transport, it would be solely for hi-res material. 1 TB of internal SSD is more than enough to hold my current hi-res collection. Can the transport output... | |

| Esoteric K-01 and Aurender S10 compatibility Hi Jon47,It is good to know that the K-01 can be upgraded to dsd64. My guess is this is only possible via usb as spdif or aes does not transmit dsd64/128/quad data. Please keep us updated on your experience with dsd64 when you get back your K-01.C... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt,We are actually in full agreement. When I put up this list :- "1. Cool, dry, lean, thin, fast -> FIR1/2 2. Warm, slow, boomy, laid-back -> SDLY 1/2 3. Balanced - DSD", I meant that the settings to be used depends on the overall sound of... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD "09-06-14: Jon2020 ....I am currently using DSD for Upsampling and OFF for digital filter. It's strange as I am not a dsd diehard but somehow, having gone through all the different combinations, the dsd setting gets it right 90% of the time. This ... | |
