| DAC and CDP Yes it is redundant your cd play has an internal DAC. You could add a DAC if you thought it might improve performance but it is absolutely not necessary. | |
| Fred Volz and Emotive Sira Pre Amp Cool project Brad, I will be interested to see your impressions and track your progress. And congrats getting an essentially bespoke piece of audio gear is pretty damn cool! | |
| DAC help For my tube rig Just remember that Devore's rhymes with divorce! | |
| DAC help For my tube rig So Mr. Slipp have you gotten those Devore's yet? | |
| Care to recommend a preamp? I would remove the Supratek Chenin from your list, I used to own a Supratek Syrah, and found it to be incredibly poorly constructed and unreliable. Just my own experience of course ymmv but thought I would give you a heads up. | |
| Dared sl-2000 preamplifier SET preamp tips tp It's not your spelling it's basic grammar and also punctuation. Your post also features one of my least favorite writing trends the death of the paragraph. Sorry to pile on I know your post was well intentioned but it really is incredibly difficul... | |
| Best EL34 reissue? Based on some responses in this thread, thanks Sfar, I got a quad of Genelex KT-77's last week from Jim McShane. Great service and fast communication and shipping. The tubes are as good as advertised more transparent and just more oomph than my pr... | |
| Best EL34 reissue? FWIW I have had nice results with both EH fat bottle 6ca7s and JJ 6ca7s in my pushpull 17 watt stereo amp. EH a touch warmer and the JJ's a bit more transparent but both nice tubes and super affordable. | |
| Weird Band Names. I used to see the Vomit Gobblers listed in the weekend section of the Washington Post when I was growing up always a fave of mine. | |
| High end CD player paired with High end processor I think you guys are missing the point the OP is outputting the digital conversion to the Krell processor in which case he would really just be using the 300cd as a transport? Pretty sure that was the question, I would say if you just need a trans... | |
| The effect of source and external "double DACs"? There is no "over-dac" effect because if you use the digital output of a cd player is bypasses the internal dac. A cd player can make a perfectly fine transport, a dedicated transport may be better but likely significantly more expensive. | |
| Squeezbox Duet Playing Partial Tracks Mofimadness I actually went back to LMS 7.7.2 from the "upgraded" 7.7.3 and that fixed the problem thanks for your suggestions though. | |
| Squeezbox Duet Playing Partial Tracks Mofimadness doing that right now on the Duet thanks. What do you mean about restarting the hard drive? It's external so it powers down automatically when unplugged right? | |
| Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's You know I was just thinking what the world needed was another release of Kind of Blue. | |
| Cable recommendations for cary slp-98p & cary 120s I always use silver cables with tubes and since the Silver Streaks are doing well for you why not try another Kimber, say KCAG or more Silver Streaks for preamp to amp? I use KCAG myself from source to preamp,a great cable, transparent as can be a... |
