| Lewinskih01... Zoot 45 I don't know asynch USB, you're probably right. Firewire HD has advantage of not involving main processor in transfers (has its own processor). | |
| Voltage conversion in Wyred4 Sound DAC Not only that Benchmark DAC2 has switching power supply but also has many of them inside. It uses main +12V switcher and then DC/DC converters to create +/-18V. I don't know of linear power supply that can operate from 88 to 264 VAC without any sw... | |
| Help on Optimizing Dedicated PC as Music Server I don't think so - it is just converter. In addition to eliminating jitter coming from computer it also eliminates jitter created by the cable. Reclocker should be placed in very close proximity to DAC and connected to DAC by very short (<1ft) ... | |
| Lewinskih01... Zoot 45 Data on hard disk has no timing. It goes thru all sorts of buffers to audio card or converter where timing is recreated. Different type of Hard Drive might have influence possibly reducing overall system noise (if lower power) but it won't affect ... | |
| Help on Optimizing Dedicated PC as Music Server Tboooe, No, my Benchmark DAC1 has built in reclocker (asynchronous rate converter). External reclocker, on the other hand, allows to use any DAC. Jitter shows as noise proportional to level of the sound and undetectable without music. There is not... | |
| Help on Optimizing Dedicated PC as Music Server All things mentioned so far improve sound by reduction of the jitter. you could get reclocker instead and forget about special computers, playback programs, footers, platforms etc.[url]https://wyred4sound.com/products/digital-converters/remedy-rec... | |
| Lewinskih01... Zoot 45 Type of interface should not matter since HD stores data and not the music stream. | |
| Ripping CD's - Bypassing Computer CD Player Quality of computer CDP has nothing to do with it. Get good ripping software like MAX or XLD for Mac or EAC for Windows. Ripping program reads CD as data instructing CDP to re-read given sector multiple times until proper checksum is obtained. MAX... | |
| Voltage conversion in Wyred4 Sound DAC Gnanasekhar, electronics equipped with switching power supply will often operate over whole voltage range. One example might be Benchmark DAC2 that operates 88-264V 50/60Hz.I have older version - DAC1 but it is not universal (linear power supply). | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Johnyb53, unfortunately Hyperion went bankrupt since design is only small part of success. Now, I feel uneasy about spare parts or service. | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Lewinskih01, I have no idea. Hyperion went bankrupt (poor marketing, poor dealer base) without any parts sale. I'm not sure why they decided upon such large midrange driver but I suspect they wanted to reduce membrane excursion making it more line... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Duke, midrange drivers in my speakers use ferrofluid suspension instead of spiderweb (to increase speed by lowering overall mass). Coils are oversized connected to flat ring that holds membrane (instead of dust cap).http://www.enjoythemusic.com/su... | |
| cd-r music for blanks Rbbert, thank you for correction. | |
| cd-r music for blanks Taiwanese Taiyo Yuden are one of the best (they invented CD-R) - recently bought by JVC. I would make sure it is original Taiyo Yuden. Recording on music CD-Rs makes any recording legal (like tape). Since recording is legal you can make copy of it... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Johnyb53, I cannot hear that. Perhaps others couldn't hear it either since it received whole bunch of awards including Absolute Sound "Speaker of the Year" 5 years in a row, Enjoy the Music "Best of 2004" and "Decade Award", Stereo Times 2005, 200... |
