amp for low volume listener w/ wilson audio sophia
I'm not sure about match with Sofia but Class D amps are known for very good sound at low levels. I listen soft at late evening and was amazed by performance of my Rowland 102 (Icepower). Later I found few people mentioning the same thing about th... 
Is there a compatibility issue with DAC's
Standard (redbook) CD is recorded with 16bit at 44.1kHz and that's what you got on the digital RCA output of your Parasound. DACs higest ratings only show top speed and numbers of bits they're capable of and will always work with your player. Digi... 
Most expensive
Polk432 - lucky you. My wife's sister is ugly, fat, loud, and agressive but fortunately doesn't love me. 
Most expensive
The ones that your wife doesn't want you to buy - it will cost you half of the house and more. 
Interconnect cable upgrade disapointment
Shadorne - you make me feel better. I have never suspected I had "golden ears" especially having very hard time to learn music.I cannot explain why Audioquest Viper delivers taut short bass while Audioqest Ruby's bass is full and round. Both of th... 
Interconnect cable upgrade disapointment
Apology accepted with a small request - if you quote me please quote whole sentences or people might think that you do this on purpose. Example:"Shadorne - I try to be modest (and honest) and don't post any definitive opinions about analog gear si... 
Interconnect cable upgrade disapointment
Shadorne - I try to be modest (and honest) and don't post any definitive opinions about analog gear since I don't have much experience there. I have problem with people who have zero cable experience but can tell for certain that there is no sonic... 
Interconnect cable upgrade disapointment
There was a joke about a man who answered an add for music teacher. He couldn't play any instrument, didn't like music and was partially deaf but he called them just to say that they shouldn't count on him.That's pretty much the same when people w... 
CD players with no or configurable upsampling
There is a purpose for this brickwall low-pass filter. Without this filter aliases of high freqencies will fold into audible band. Filter has to pass 20kHz but reject 44kHz carrier - it cannot be done with even group delay (linear phase) Bessel li... 
Spades or bananas connectors?
Damn! - I should've said "Blue glasses"20-20 vision? You must be kidding! It's going other direction and fast. 
Digital remastering of CD's
Hifisoundguy - thanks for the link. Te problem is practical side of it. Even if there is noticable improvement with reverse phase on both speakers changing the phase is not an easy task. Since records, according to article, have 50% chance of bein... 
Impdence Question
Duke - I'm leaning toward your view. I think that my previous experience with in-series woofer connection might have to do with other factors. One of them is doubling inductance in the circuit while another is getting stronger resonanses since the... 
transport help
The DAC is Timbre (not Kimbre) - isn't it? Since I've never heard of it I found 1996 Soundstage review. They mentioned company policy toward inexpensive or free upgrades to the latest version - might be good to call them. It might also bring sugge... 
Spades or bananas connectors?
Audiofeil - I might never tell the difference but purists prefere crimped (not soldered) spades. I installed AQ spades by crimping and then soldering with 4% silver solder heating wire first to avoid expansion (loosing oxygen free connection). Aud...

Fred12 - component is an analog therefore you can pass anything but quality won't be as good as HDMI.
