| Best DAC With asynchronous USB DAC computer speed should have zero effect on the sound - since computer is sending data without timing. Faster computer might even have negative effect by creating more of ambient electrical noise. | |
| Should we use ridiculously priced cables to listen to Rap? I use old cheaper cables everytime I play Rap and reinstall good cables when I listen to anything else. | |
| streamer for PWD DAC mkII - tired of a computer and complicated connectivity! arafiq,1. you're right, but all my music is 16/44.1 - good enough for me. Most of music comes as 16/44.1 while a lot of higher rate music is the same upsampled 16/44.1 - not sounding any better (My DAC upsamples anyway)2. I have no experience wit... | |
| streamer for PWD DAC mkII - tired of a computer and complicated connectivity! I use MacMini - Itunes/ALAC - WiFi -Airport Express - Benchmark DAC1 - Power amp. WiFi makes playback program, computer speed, amount of memory etc. irrelevant. I use ALAC since it is format used to send the data over WiFi (one conversion less).... | |
| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? Data loss due to scratches up to about 4mm along the track is automatically corrected by Cross-interleaved Reed-Solomon error correcting code. Between 4-8mm player that operates in real time interpolates samples while scratches longer than 8mm re... | |
| Toslink/optical cable recommendations I use http://www.uniqueproductsonline.com/gltodiopca.htmlLow price, high quality - 280 strands of glass. | |
| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? I second XLD on the Mac (used MAX before). Set highest possible amount of retries - otherwise it will interpolate missing samples. Rip while listening - it won't be a huge chore that way. Make backups (I use SuperDuper). I have two backups an... | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell french_fries LOL | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell Hyperion Sound HPS-938 speakers because company doesn’t exist anymore.Acoustic Zen "Satori" Shotgun speaker cables and "Absolute" 0.5m XLR interconnects, because I bought them very cheap. | |
| FLAC vs WAV Computer should decompress files before putting them into memory buffer. Up to this point it is just a data, that can be verified by the checksum. Music starts when timing is added. In case of S/Pdif it is done in computer but in case of asynchron... | |
| Is the word 'Integrated' that hard to spell? Spencer, I'm sure your English is goodder than mine. | |

| FLAC vs WAV Computer decompresses data, places it in the memory and adds timing to create and output S/Pdif (PCM). The only difference, assuming bit perfect conversion, can be jittery S/Pdif timing, that would add noise to music but dynamic range should be th... | |
| Is the word 'Integrated' that hard to spell? I agree, interrogated is not hard to spell :) |
