| Small DAC With Balanced Outs Srosenberg - You can leave ON Benchmark DAC1 (no standby). Power consumption of 10W is nothing. | |
| Small DAC With Balanced Outs Srosenberg - Standby is good and bad. It will extend life of the unit by lowering average temperature by few degrees but it does it by cutting power to most of circuitry. It will take time again to sound 100%. DAC1 takes about 10W and can get real... | |
| Small DAC With Balanced Outs From the manual: "While in Standby Mode, the DAC1 USB continues to monitor the selected digital input and will immediately resume normal operation when an error-free signal is restored."http://www.benchmarkmedia.com/sites/default/files/documents/D... | |
| Small DAC With Balanced Outs "i know the benchmark DAC1 when left on all the time will put itself into standby mode when no signal is detected"Benchmark DAC1 USB does that - not Benchmark DAC1. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Nevillekapadia - SACD is DSD | |
| What makes strings sound "sweet"? Bondmanp- It was intended as a joke but in a process I learned how difficult it is to play violin. In addition to technique and intention of the player there is a sound of instrument, acoustics, recording techniques etc. Radiation pattern of instr... | |
| What makes strings sound "sweet"? Bondmanp - To obtain sweet sounding strings pay attention to:1. Pressure of the Bow: This certainly can affect tonal quality...experiment with adding slight pressure and increasing it as you draw the bow. The first finger of your bowing hand is wh... | |
| Help: Managing Apple Music Files Loki - OK 450GB of uncompressed music. All I'm saying is to compress it on the MAC pointing ITunes output to Laptop's directory. You need to make laptop visible to MAC allowing particular directory to be shared - so that MAC can write to it. If yo... | |
| Help: Managing Apple Music Files Lokie - transfering 600GB to laptop is not the best approach. Connecting USB drive to laptop might not work since formats are different. Use Itunes on the Mac with output pointing to shared directory on the laptop (wireless or Ethernet). That way ... | |
| Help: Managing Apple Music Files Mozartrules - I agree that converting in ITunes might be the simplest but how do we import the files? What about leaving files where they are and just give Itunes on the laptop wireless (or network cable) access to them by sharing backup drive. It... | |
| Digital Amps vs Solid State Amps Alan - Digital amps most likely don't have higher amount of feedback since analog parameter - time (duty cycle) is more linear than class AB transistors. High damping comes from the fact that speaker is always connected between very low impedance ... | |
| Help: Managing Apple Music Files Use MAX. It can translate any format to any format - and it is free. It works on Mac only. I believe that you can run it in batch mode since I was able to convert a lot of files from FLAC to ALAC by selecting all of them, right click and "Open wit... | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? Klein - I'm surprised that you find Hyperions bright. My 938s are never bright in spite of unforgiving combination of Benchmark DAC1 and Rowland 102 (class D), that was unbearable with Paradigm speakers. Give them more time to play. As for cabinet... | |
| CD vs. Vinyl Al - I agree. Quality of implementation is the key. Nyquist preserves frequency information but it is hard to imagine sinewave at 20kHz recreated with two samples per period. In addition there are personal preferences, convenience and different te... | |
| CD vs. Vinyl Mrtennis - why microphone? With the pricetag of top quality gear it might be cheaper to hire Symphony Orchestra to play at your place. |
