Today's Transport War: Significant Differences?
Almost all DAC manufacturers will tell you transport doesnt matter, EAD manfacturer told me the same, because of the digital-flywheel thingy, Transport is very impotant I would say even more than DAC...I guess If you destroy the original signal (s... 
Transport - does it matter to the sound at all?
I dont know about ESP, but my jitterous transport is scary!!!Maybe Saendtaylor99 is on to it with the input signal:this is from the Attraction DAC: "The high integration of unique features was achieved by the development of a special digital recei... 
Transport - does it matter to the sound at all?
"my main point, the question of whether jitter alone is really the whole story aside."Zaikesman puts it correctly, our ears are telling us jitter is not the whole story, maybe we have to unwrap the whole "DNA" chain before we know for certain, its... 
Transport - does it matter to the sound at all?
Seandtaylor99: What the Genesis does is a buffer, the data is read and sent out the buffer which then reclocks it, this approach is used in modern DVD transports which also buffer and even get to re-read the tracks before playing them: been there ... 
Transport - does it matter to the sound at all?
I had the Benchmark dac in my system and it is VERY sensitive to transport changes!!! This is high end, we need the best transport and the best DAC with the best reclocking available!!!This jitter thing seems to me like when Solid State replaced T... 
Transport - does it matter to the sound at all?
Steve "the Transport primariily has a impact on the jitter. The jitter has a sonic signature that mostly impacts the high-frequencies and the dynamics of the HF"Are you saying that the only difference between a good transport and a bad one is in t... 
Passive Pre - No Regrets?
"People like Guy Placette and Emmanuel Go (who originally offered a passive design that is no longer avalailable) designed and built active preamps for a reason. "Which is???I think Pubul57 puts it very nicely, "passives are a cult item" if you ar... 
Transport - does it matter to the sound at all?
I believe in very expensive transport and cheap DAC.I have a Forsell Air Reference transport hooked to an EAD 7000 III DACI dont believe in the "Reconstruction Theory", jitter is all that matters, so the Transport can send any crap to the DAC and ... 
What to do with dedicated power lines..help please
Divide video and audio..Cheers 
Passive Pre - No Regrets?
Well Tbg, I have the dynamics of active with my passive, carefull matching and testing was required but now I got transparency of passive and the dynamics of active... 
Passive Pre - No Regrets?
Gmood1; I dont think you ever told us about the Bent NOH against the Promitheus on the TVC shoot out, what are your findings?Best 
Experience with Raul's Essential 3150
I had the oportunity to listen to Raul`s rig on several occasions and it is an outstanding setup, a reference in my listening esperience!The most important qualities I would point out of the system are Dynamics, transparency and overall balance...... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Forsell designs their transport and dac to sound just like their vinil rig..... 
Placette RVC review in Stereophile
I am sorry I am just now looking at the dates here, may he rest in peace.All the Best 
Placette RVC review in Stereophile
I read that the source output impedance should be 10 times lower than the input impedance on the preamp-amp, but I would love to hear Guy or Crump take on this since they are the main preamp people!!!I am using a diy passive preamp in a perfect sy...
