| re capping Recappinig and upgrading caps are two different subjects. | |
| Digital streaming/library easola01, I'm not familiar with streaming. My whole library consist only of CDs on HD in ALAC format. | |
| Digital streaming/library easola01, It is best to avoid conversion by Audio Core. Because I play 16/44.1 I set Audio Media to 16/44.1. I tunes gets my CD without any conversion as 16/44.1 and sends it to Airport Express as a data. Airport Express send it to my DAC as 16... | |
| Digital streaming/library Shadorne, I thought I checked it but it was long time ago. I will check again. Thank you. | |
| Digital streaming/library easola01, I would check first if you can hear any difference between formats. In addition, many high res files are just 16/44.1 up-sampled. They end-up with more bits and higher sample rate but don't carry more information. My DAC up-samples da... | |
| re capping Capacitor goes with loud bang because of avalanche effect. Capacitor is charged in narrowed current spikes of very high amplitude. That creates losses and heat with ESR of capacitor. When capacitor dries out ESR increases causing bigger losses and... | |
| Subwoofer bass issue It appears that you have reflections under control. Have you charted your system frequency response with free program "REW" and calibrated microphone. I just ordered calibrated USB microphone to use with this program. That can make much easier ... | |
| Mea culpa for Uptone Iso Regen USB I’m a bit curious about the reclockers in general, in addition to that, if you buy an "audiophile" usb cable, where would it go, from the source to the reclocker, or the reclocker to the dac?Asynchronous USB does not need reclocker, but can benefi... | |
| Subwoofer bass issue It appears that your room amplifies 50Hz: 1125ft/s divided by (2x11ft) - not a bad thing, but it will also amplify 100Hz. I looked at my Johns Manville 2" high density fiberglass panels absorption data and they start damping at about 100Hz. To ... | |
| Rotel OMG! Signetics NE5532 was a one of first op-amps designed for the audio. It was a little thin sounding until Signetics factory burned down around year 2000 and they stopped making it. Texas Instruments acquired license, made larger die and produced b... | |
| Mea culpa for Uptone Iso Regen USB Ghasley, It is great to see a praise instead of bashing. We need more positive people, like you. | |
| NAA Clock Timing Improvements w/Asynchronous USB? Roberjerman, thank you. I found interesting website that is great primer on technical aspects of audio:http://www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com/KB/USB.html | |
| It's Simple Al, I should've known better. I calculate dividers almost every day, but yesterday was my "slow" day. On positive note, I didn't make any bank transactions :) | |
| It's Simple Ieales, thank you for correction. I assumed gauge 17 (worst case) that is 0.1 ohm for total of 20ft, but calculated it wrong. The difference in level between 4 and 8 ohm speaker is 0.1dB. That’s most likely inaudible. | |
| It's Simple Ieales, Let’s imagine 0.1 ohm (both ways) cable connected to 8 ohm speaker that has lowest impedance of 4 ohm. At 4 ohm we have divider of about 1/40 equal to -32dB while at 8 ohm we have 1/80= -38dB. Do you think that 6dB difference in audible ar... |
