| Digital AES/EBU XLR Cable Recommendations The Snake River Boomslang is quite warm. Personally, I recommends something more neutral in this position, and if yer after a level of warmth, do it father down the chain. This is just a personal system building approach for me; might as well get ... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport I had this happen once with a piece during a demo period. You had to be no farther than 7ft away and no farther than a 10 or 20 degree angle from the receiver… Unfortunately I didn’t hear about a fix after that but one thing you could try is to ma... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport Isn’t it interesting how great some things can sound ‘right out of the box’. Always give your system two days after unplugging moving and plugging in cables and power cords. The majority of what you know from your system will return by then…and th... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @wharfy I took Terry’s recommendation and switched to the Black Cat digi 110 XLR, over my past Snake River Audio Boomslang, which was to warm for my current system. Great cable (the SRA), I just needed neutrality for this spot and the Black Cat do... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition Word is the i2s only works with the Pro-Ject corresponding DAC, but I’d be curious if the pin config does indeed work with another DAC (any DAC). But the AES/EBU output sound great. | |
| New Mojo Mystique X And what happened to pics of the new chassis the Evo supposedly got in early 2021? | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @vinylshadow I’d go for it! If you want it and you have the funds, go for it. You may decide to level up with a different server/streamer one day and you’d already have the great DAC to answer the call… If the May is stretching the budget and/or y... | |
| HDCD The Grateful Dead mastering and release team use it for everything they release on CD. I wish it was offered on more DACs. My new digital rig is the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2, Lampizator Atlantic or Bricasti M3, so all sounds great…but darn it, I wish I... | |
| Grateful Dead- Sotheby's Auction Nothing is worth worshiping, not just rockstars… But there are young and new deadheads being added every year, this music will never die. Now, will the younger generation deadheads care of such memorabilia is another question. | |
| Tornado and Thunder Power Cables It’s just that home theater receivers aren’t exactly known for being low noise / distortion enough for some to be considered ‘hi-fi’ at least for clean 2ch music listening (but Marantz is def good consumer-level stuff)… So if this is about lowerin... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @musichead , I was worried/curious about this also, and among other reasons, is why I purchased from a retailer with a trial period. Good news is no noise issues at all. During the first 20 or so CDs played through the unit there were a few with s... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @gyeltsen I own one now but haven’t posted on it yet… the transport is simply clean, clear and natural, and is a source that should pair well with any DAC or whole system. Like others have said, I too, hear the clean and well separated bass, the... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @disc, try the Black Cat Digit-110 aes/ebu. | |
| Takayuki 300B vs Western Electric NEW Production 300B I talked to a guy who has both the TAK’s and the new WE’s in a VInnie Rossi L2i. He didn’t come off any detailed comparison other than to say if forced to pick between the WE and the TAKs, he’d pick the WE, that it’s everything a 300b should be… ... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @lrm1jaf I think the I2s is only for Pro-Ject’s corresponding DAC. That, or it only works with DAC of a certain i2s configuration, as there are like four different ways i2s output can be configured… The Denafrips Terminator has a function to set... |
