| Preamplifier power supply Casouza - yes, transformer should be oversized since mentioned current spikes, while driving recifier/capacitors, heat up the windings (RMS much higher than Average) and their high frequency content heats up the core but 10x is perhaps overkill. I... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Is 8x10 suitable for any task? Can you use it for late afternoon sports pictures? AFAIK depth of field is very low requiring high F stops. I remember that A. Adams was running "F/64 Club". Such apertures require long exposures making it more suita... | |
| Anyone tried ripping SACD as 24bit PCM? Esmith3671 - I know you were only talking about playback but I wish I could load SACD to my hard disk and play them without loss of quality. | |
| New Transport Suggestions for Bitstream DAC Lush,My MacMini is connected to Benchmark DAC1 via Airport Express and Toslink. I tried direct connection and also DVD player and cannot hear any difference. It might be related to high jitter rejection of Benchmark. | |
| Balanced IC used as Digital cable "But does that mean that digital cables may make for better IC's?"Quality of metal is not important with digital signals. Low grade copper is often silver plated since signal at high frequencies tends to travel on the surface (skin effect). Qualit... | |
| SACD vs. Vinyl Mikelavigne - I wish I could see operation of recording studio. I will look - they might have tours. | |
| SACD vs. Vinyl Mikelavigne - I did not say that SACD is flawed. I think that it is vastly superior to redbook (as Beta was to VHS). In addition to better quality (20/96) DSD used in SACD is created without antialias filters that screw-up transient response in tr... | |
| This is no joke. I don't understand it either. If beak "dissipates distortion" into air then it makes it audible. Dimensions are very crucial and beaks are machined with the greatest precision yet should work on the top of any speaker. Sounds like SNAKE OIL. Oops,... | |
| Anyone tried ripping SACD as 24bit PCM? "Will there be a concern for timing issue even when converting one digital format to another digital format?"Yes, if analog level is encoded as time interval (Pulse Width Modulation). I guess it can be converted from 1-bit DSD stream if decoder ca... | |
| Balanced IC used as Digital cable There are two virtues of digital cable: good shielding and consistent exact characteristic impedance. Digital signal reflects in the cable on impedance boundaries contaminating (changing shape) edges (transitions) of the signal therefore creating ... | |
| SACD vs. Vinyl Mikelavigne - SACD looks pretty much like output of sigma delta converter before filtering (1-bit). SACD is equivalent to about 20/96 and it supposed to sound better than redbook layer. Problem is that many people dislike sound of any form or PWM ... | |
| Anyone tried ripping SACD as 24bit PCM? Jylee - DSD in SACD is PWM done at 2.8MHz. Quality wise it should be equal to 20/96 but as far as I remember resolution of the modulator is in order of 8 bits and higher resolution is achieved by dithering. Converting it to PCM on digital side wou... | |
| This is no joke. "the cat jokes perhaps may scar me for life. Not sure I can forget those...."Mapman - As long as you know the difference between a joke and reality you should be OK. | |
| This is no joke. Magfan, Over the edge makes them funny. | |
| This is no joke. Maril555 - you forgot to mention racial, ethnic, gender, age, mental health, political orientation, religion and whatever left (if anything). I hope that weather jokes are still OK? |
