| Toslink cable that isn't prone to jitter, possible? Thanks for replying, I am not using PC/Mac. I have toslink from cd player to Bifrost, then XLR's from Bifrost to my pre/pro... | |
| Toslink cable that isn't prone to jitter, possible? So I just spoke with John at The Cable Co. He said the exact same thing, "you cannot hear jitter", but if you're getting interruptions in your music it is most likely the Toslink cable". I'm going to send the Voodoo Toslink back to them and I just... | |
| Toslink cable that isn't prone to jitter, possible? Thanks again chayro, great info! What's weird is I actually "rebooted" the DAC as it seemed to be happening all of a sudden. I turned it off and pulled out the power cord. Waited like a minute then fired it up and didn't hear it again, so that see... | |
| Toslink cable that isn't prone to jitter, possible? It's strictly the convenience factor. I don't love it because it's a great sounding unit (and now it doesn't matter as it's just a transport), I love hitting "random" and having it stop anywhere from Clannad to Iron Maiden:)! Plus I never have to ... | |
| Toslink cable that isn't prone to jitter, possible? Thanks for responding @chayro, it almost sounds like it's skipping almost like a couple of split second delays. It's not the cd either (yes some of my older discs are a bit worn and do skip) but this has happened on brand new cd's. Hard to describ... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? Great post! Without question U2 Live at Red Rocks 05, June 1983! What an amazing experience that must have been for those who were fortunate enough to attend. U2 at their primal best (IMHO) just before they truly hit the map. Then they just got to... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Thanks @scratcha! Oh it has gotten better, and God knows I've been playing the piss out of it! Thanks for the advice with the cables. I had already ordered a pair of Voodoo Essence XLR's. They seem to be working quite nicely with the DAC. I wanted... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Who'd have that you could ever use the term "nuances" in describing an Iron Maiden cd, LOL! | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Just wanted to thank you all for taking the time to reply and share...@guy-incognito, thanks it's fun writing my impressions of the DAC :)Unfortunately damn work gets in the way so I'll have to be away from my new toy for the next 9 hrs or so...HO... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Still having that little boy on Christmas morning should say :)The only other time I can remember having this kind of revelation was 20 years ago when I went from B&W CDM NT to Dynaudio Audience (I'm now with Evoke)! No more tweaks for this ca... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC My post was removed (maybe I overdid it on the exclamation points, LOL), but I posted an update, all I can say is I am truly speechless at what this DAC has added! Right out of the gate I immediately noticed a true audible difference! I have no me... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Even my shittier discs (my cd player is a 101 disc carousel) that obviously were not the greatest recordings have truly come "alive". Can't find a better word to describe it. Even Iron Maiden "Live After Death" has more detail, and this is definit... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC @fuzztone the 1582 is an HT processor. I'm using Simaudio Moon Titan HT200 5 channel amp... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Appreciate all the replies, thank you...I know it's all so subjective but I'll draw on those here who have much more experience than I as this is my first DAC. I have always used Transparent ic's and speaker cables. Though I'm going to try Voodoo ... | |
| Need some quick expert opinions trying to decide between 3 DAC's Thank you all for responding. I'd like to keep it under $500 which is why I am looking at these 3. I listen to everything from Diana Krall to Iron Maiden. I really prefer something on the warmer detailed side with a nice wide soundstage. My speaks... |
