| PS Audio Direct Stream Ozzy :-"So, when I say I am running the Direct Stream direct to my amp that's not exactly true. The Direct Stream first goes to the QOL and then to the Pass Labs Amp. Yes, I have tried the Direct Stream bypassing the QOL, but I prefer the QOL in t... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream +1, Fsmithjack. | |
| Esoteric K-01 and Mac music server I use a usb conveter too from my pc to the coax input of my K-01 player. Once you have gone this route, you can never go back to usb direct. The coax input makes everything sound whole and right. | |
| emmlabs cdsa-se vs esoteric 05 Stereo5,Yes, that's the way to go. Engaging trolls like him is truly a waste of everyone's time and effort. | |
| dCS Puccini built-in preamplifier I used to have the Puccini and u-clock combo and agree with Jfrech that things sound better with a preamp in the chain. | |
| Lossless Files Vs CD's Hi all,FWIW, my personal experience thus far in my home system(I am not a dealer) is that :-1. A top-notch transport (Esoteric K-01) will beat my computer audio set-up for redbook CD2. For hi-rez, the same computer set-up beats redbook CD in the t... | |
| Music Servers - Baetis vs. Music Vault Here we go....... | |
| Berkeley dac1 versus Esoteric K-03 Cerrot,Since getting a usb-to-spdif converter, I find that hi-rez sounds better than cd in the transport but ripped cd's from the PC still sound inferior to cd's via the transport. Have you auditioned any good usb-to-spdif converter in your system... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Oh, alright. You win. | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Shakeydeal,You are much applauded for your prescient statement above that it will be going for muuuuuuch less when the bottom falls out. Well. we all know what it is going for now - 40% less in a recent screamimg ad. Ouch! | |
| Views on Siltech cables with Pass Labs Pre/Power The problem with cables and, therein lies their beauty, is that they take quite some time to break in to sound their best. So, patience is key when it comes to cables. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Steve,You do have your point there but maybe Mr Bill is just concerned that if you get to do what you are doing, what would happen to this forum if a lot of other dealers or manufacturers start doing the same thing? For me, I do learn a lot from y... | |
| why dsd Hi all,I just heard about a dsd download remastererd from an original 24/192 master - Lyn Stanley- at Blue Coast Records. Why would they do that? Most dsd dacs can do 24/192 anyway. Can a dsd file remastered from 24/192 really sound better than th... | |
| Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's I am with Yashu as well on his description of the mono version. The mono 24/192 download of KOB is the best sounding I have heard so far. The stereo version places instruments unnaturally too far to the right or to the left. | |
