| How Long Has It Been Since You Listened To Live Music? I wonder how people can compare sound of their systems to live shows when sound of life shows is often poor. In many venues it is hard to get good seats because they are very expensive, sold out, or reserved for season tickets. Sound settings f... | |
| Need Inexpensive Digital Cable Cables longer than 1.5m (or shorter than 1 foot) are better. Best would be 1.5-2mDigital cable is system dependent. Cable that works great in one system might sound poor in another. | |
| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping The best for you, IMHO, would be laptop with asynchronous USB D/A converter. Do some research. One inexpensive example might be Oppo HA-2 asynch USB headphone amp with line out, based on ESS Sabre 32-bit (wonderful sound), but you might like som... | |
| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping Once you have it in Itunes in one format, like ALAC, you can export album to another format like ACC. It will perform conversion for you. Once you set export format in options it might be even possible to do this by dragging album icon to desired... | |
| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping AAC is compressed like MP3 (but better sound quailty). WAV doesn't have ability to store metadata (track names etc.). AIFF shouldn't have any options, being uncompressed. Your choice is between Apple Lossless (ALAC) and AIFF. ALAC is about 50%... | |
| Looking for a USB Headphone amplifier I bought Oppo HA-2 headphone amp recently and it sounds amazing. It has asynch USB, SPIDIF, DSD an analog in/out. I use USB. Sounds better than my Benchmark DAC1. D/A converter IC is SABRE 32-bit. It has lithium battery and can be used with a p... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube tfats, I've never heard Channel Islands but I know they were based on Hypex modules and had great reviews. Bel Canto used Icepower modules (that my are in my Rowland 102 as well). Hypex had dual supply (+/-) but only two output Mosfets switching ... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube kuribo, it appears that we need some common language here. Saying "technology is mature" is a polite way of saying "It hit dead end" - therefore don't expect major improvements and place your order today. There are many technologies still improvi... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Ait, I think it is possible to place very large coil in front of capacitors in order to obtain constant charging current in form of sinewave. The problem I can see with this scheme is size of the coil (huge inductance with low resistance) and the... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Ait, I understand that choke helps storing and releasing energy, but it won't affect charging of capacitors that has to happen in very short time. | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Ait, Perhaps I'm missing something. Imagine rectifier charging capacitors to 50V with 5mV ripple present. http://i.stack.imgur.com/BLGnf.gifCapacitors are charged ONLY during voltage increase on capacitor. This period for 5mV ripple (1% of 50V) ... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube Ait, Choke at the input as well as choke and big capacitor in my Furman Power Factor correcting conditioner serve as filter. Charging Linear PS capacitors is still done in narrow spikes of high amplitude - no escape from that. Current is switched... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube I’m a little puzzled by all this "switching" talk. My class D amp has 60kHz bandwidth while tweeters are almost completely quiet with my ear next to them (200W amp). I’ve read the same in many reviews of different class D amps. It was much wo... | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? Many power amps use servo on DC (very low frequency NFB), that might become unstable with low input frequencies. For that reason amplifier's low frequency is often limited (in my amp to 5Hz). | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube "Once the technology is there and they put that switching frequency way up higher, then and only then will they be able to filter the s**t out of it away from the audio band and leave a nice clean square wave, and only then will Class D have becom... |
