| Pre-amp for Rowland Model 102 http://www.audioenz.co.nz/2007/rowland_capri-102.shtml | |
| One reason why audio is suffering: Connectivity Jult52, I bought new TV. I wanted Panasonic Plasma but found out that it outputs (TOSLINK) only DOLBY that my 2 channel DAC (Benchmark DAC1) doesn't decode. DAC is expecting standard 2 channel S/Pdif. There is no menu item for the output format se... | |
| Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference Cwby8115, Don't forget to burn your new cables. For best results: 30min in 325deg oven. Use gloves. | |
| CAPS 3.0 Zuma vs Mac Mini Some things like type of Ethernet cable might change overall ambient noise and the same goes for the computer. On the other hand faster computer can make it much worse generating more noise at higher frequencies. Amount of RAM makes no difference ... | |
| Integrated amp: jumpers versus cables My brother has NAD that originally had factory jumpers made of "U" shape steel rods. Replacing them with short Audioquest jumpers (basically short IC) opened treble. | |
| Cost of Keeping Components on All the Time? Benchmark DAC1: 10WRowland 102: 10W20W * 730hrs * $0.06/kWhr = $0.876 per month | |
| CAPS 3.0 Zuma vs Mac Mini Sgr, If you transfer files to DAC using Ethernet bridge then nothing that you mentioned makes any difference since they affect only timing while you transfer data (no timing). Some things might reduce overall noise but things like amount of RAM or... | |
| When does Cabling become important in Digital? Septemous, If you send digital data over wireless or network it will be delivered as data without timing and anything on computer side doesn't matter. What matters is timing (clock) recreated on the other side. When you transfer sequence 10101010 ... | |
| Cables that are more enhanced than Acoustic Zen Audiotomb, I replaced neutral sounding Audioquest King Cobra ICs (copper) with AZ Absolute (silver+1%copper). Sound is still very neutral but more refined. There is no brightness but everything sounds cleaner and faster. Instruments have more natu... | |
| How Much Are You Missing From 20khz to 45khz? The less phase shift, the better the imaging.Tonality will also improve since phase shift causes improper summing of harmonics. I'm not sure about speakers but amplifier has at least 45 degree phase shift at -3dB frequency limit. My -3dB@60kHz amp... | |
| Best way to eliminate "common mode" noise from AC One possible way would be to add common mode choke. It can be done by making few turns (as many as possible) of the power cord on the large ferrite (chose one with the highest permeability). When wires in the cable carry current in opposite direct... | |
| Computer output to DAC, which route? It is difficult to compare USB to Firewire since Firewire is expansion bus while USB is peripheral bus. Firewire speed is guaranted while USB speed is much lower than rated because it runs under protocol. 480Mb/s rated USB 2.0 runs at about half o... | |
| Need help with Apple Airport Express Matt, It is not that AE cannot see your music library, but perhaps program you use to transfer music (like Itunes) cannot see your library. | |
| What is the best....? Warm vodka and big sweaty women. Wanna join? | |
| Need help with Apple Airport Express Matt, AE is by default set to receive both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I use Linksys as two separate networks with different names: 5GHz with MacMini and AE, 2.4GHz with other computers. I could set my MacMini to transmit both frequencies but couldn't find h... |
