| What compares favorably with Audioquest Niagras I considered Niagara but got wonderful Acoustic Zen Absolute instead for less.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1267628378 | |
| Lossless Files Vs CD's Xerox copy might be good analogy, but it is different with CDs. I cannot find any difference with headphones or the speakers between original CD and the CD-R copy. If anything, copy SHOULD sound better than original because ripping program, I use,... | |
| Budget DAC Greatwhitebat, Apple TV converts 44.1kHz to 48kHz (native HD format) loosing sound quality on the conversion. Read this:http://www.appledystopia.com/bad-apple/apple-tv-poor-audio-quality/You have other options - one of them is Airport Express. It ... | |
| Which of these 3 dacs is your favorite? If I remember correctly Apple TV outputs data at 48kHz. It is OK for TV but requires conversion 44.1kHz to 48kHz for CDs and it might cause audible loss of quality. | |
| Need computer audio advice. Doggiehowser, I wonder if other reclockers are sensitive to sources too. DAC1 isn't by any means perfect (as I thought before) since DAC2 promises improved suppression. Perhaps I'll try to add reclocker. Output signal should look like standard S/P... | |
| Need computer audio advice. Doggiehowser, My Benchmark DAC1 does reclocking internally and have pretty good jitter suppression (very clean sound), but according to Steve external reclocker does even better job. I have to try one someday. | |
| Need computer audio advice. Matt, when you use network you send data and not the music. The difference is that data has no timing - timing is recreated on the other side of network bridge. Your file format, amount of memory, type of HD, speed of computer, playback program et... | |
| RCA to XLR adapter vs buy a balanced cable It might be debatable if XLR sounds better than RCA (requires additional circuitry to make it balanced), but having choice between RCA+adapter or XLR I would choose XLR for it's superior noise rejection (assuming the same cost). | |
| The End Of Out-Of-Print Music At the very beginning of CD analog many tapes were digitized with less than perfect A/D conversion resulting in noisy and often harsh recordings. The only remedy is to digitize it again if analog tapes still exist. | |
| The End Of Out-Of-Print Music I suspect that cost of CD has very little to do with cost of printing or distribution. It is most likely based on demand and price manipulation. Printing CD is perhaps $1 while royalties to artist are not more than that. Double that for distributi... | |
| Are HDMI cables hot swapable? HDMI specifications include "Hot Swap". Argument that swapping anything hot is taking a risk doesn't really make sense. If it is designed to be hot swappable then it is (like USB devices). | |
| Digital Audio Out Audiophile Newbie pt. 3 It is system dependent. In some cases optical (Toslink) can be better. Coax should be either very short (less then 1ft) or at least 1.5m | |
| NAS Question Both, mirroring and stripping have the same problem - controller going bad (or virus) can kill both disks. Raid 0 (stripping) has additional problem. When one disk goes bad the other is automatically lost. Stripping is used for speed - not needed ... | |
| Visa Tranaction Suspended for Unusual Activity American Express is not blocking my large transactions but rather sends me warning email. Recently I purchased Furnace, AC etc for $11k - no problem, only warning message. American Express is also better than Citibank Visa in foreign travel. Visa ... | |
