| HiDiamond Digital IC Sabai: "This is what I experienced from the very beginning when I swapped HiDiamond cables into my system -- something very special that no other cables have done for my system. In my enthusiasm, I was criticized falsely on the forums for being a ... | |
| Lossless Files Vs CD's Configured optimally SqueezeCenter (Server) decodes FLAC at the computer/server and streams PCM to the Squeezedevice. At least that's the way I understand it to work. | |
| HiDiamond Digital IC I don't think of either forward nor receded, they strike me as very natural sounding.The presentation seems what would be a pleasing and logical representation of what I imagine the recording engineer intended. In other words, you hear the music a... | |
| HiDiamond Digital IC Ozzy's, if you want to try another HD, give the Diamond 3 xlr ICs a shot. Every day, I'm nothing short of amazed at the absolute grace, clarity, and musicality I am hearing since putting them in. Miles ahead. | |
| Bel Canto Dac 1.5 or Benchmark Dac 1 Usb I agree completely with Nolitan, having heard both, albeit in different but "equally good" systems. | |
| HiDiamond Digital IC Glad to hear it worked out Ozzy. Robert is indeed Class A.With the HD digital and interconnects in my system I am *finally* content and I've never enjoyed music more.The difference to previous cables is remarkable. More than I would have ever imag... | |
| Logitech Transporter + Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC 2 I don't know, I find the TP to be very satisfying on digital out.Have compared it to several decent CD/SACD players and like it better by a decent amount. Granted, not to super high end CD players. And also to a non-modded Touch - no comparison im... | |
| The Problem with Synergistic Research Completely agree with Mapman.Want to demonstrate confidence in your product? Don't nickel and dime your customers. There will be ROI in spades. | |
| Logitech Transporter + Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC 2 I expect that will be a killer combination. | |
| Audioquest Sky XLR Mred, take a look at my posts to the other thread in this forum called HiDiamond Interconnects, I get into some detail there on what the differences have been in my system.Bottom line, while the Sky are great cable and have been better in my syste... | |
| Audioquest Sky XLR I agree that the Sky is an extremely transparent, neutral cable.To characterize it a bit, to the degree you can assess the effect of a cable alone, I'd say: excellent frequency extension in both directions, fairly tight bass, a lot of detail/resol... | |
| Digital coaxial audio cable suggestions. My first choice would be HiDiamond Digital Carbon, close but not exactly in your price range. Best digital cable I've personally heard and an absolute bargain.Second, if you need to go with a cable that already has a long standing reputation I wou... | |
| AES Cables: Kubala, Stealth, PAD, etc..experiences Do you guys know which version of the sextet is considerd "better", the original xhadow connectors or the newer ones?Or is the difference negligible? | |
| AES Cables: Kubala, Stealth, PAD, etc..experiences I've owned the Marigo Apparition, Kubala Sosna Emotion, Ilumminati, a few others. I had a friend's PAD in my system for a shootout. I now have a HiDiamond Digital Carbon.The order I'd put them in, from least liked to best, in my system:Kimber, PAD... | |
| Single source, best pre option? Thanks, all very useful input and appreciated. |
