| One DAC to Rule it All Convoluted? It's really nothing more than an active crossover (in digital form) splitting the signal between my mains and subs at 100Hz. I realize I could send the full range signal to my main speakers, and just use the DBX to the subs, but as I s... | |
| One DAC to Rule it All I had been doing it the "old fashioned" way until I got the DBX. I found a great improvement upon sending only 100 Hz and up (48db/oct.) to my main speakers (Reference 3A NEFES II), and just below 100 Hz to the subs (same slope). I wasn't expectin... | |
| One DAC to Rule it All This isn't a simple cable swap. It would mean a lot of rewiring to go back and fourth. I was hoping there would be a consensus as to which way would be better. | |
| The Unmeasurable Aspects of High-End Audio – PS Audio We should give this unknown "ether" a name like Dark Energy. No one knows what it is, but they mostly agree that something is there. | |
| Streamer/DAC/Crossover Combo There are many server/DAC units, but I haven't seen any with digital crossovers as well. It's a cool idea to do the crossover while the signal is in it's original digital. About the only thing that comes to mind is the DEQX Pre-mate, but I don't t... | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp I asked this question a few days ago on this thread, but got no response. I think it's an important point that needs to be discussed. On a Streamer/DAC unit what format does the streamer hand off the signal to the DAC. Is it USB, SPDIF or someth... | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box What size cap. would be needed to high pass to the main speakers at about 60-80 HZ? (assuming an 8 Ohm speaker)? I would think it would be pretty large, or parallel a few. | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp OMG!! Give it a break! I want to know about streamer DACs, but I have to read through all this bickering. Just agree to disagree, and let's get this discussion back on track. PLEASE. | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp On a Streamer/DAC unit what format does the streamer hand off the signal to the DAC. Is it USB, SPDIF or something better, as they're in the same enclosure. Eliminating this signal transfer seems to be an advantage over separates. | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp Aurender A-units, Auralic Altair, Rose 150B, DCS Bartok. Some of these much cheaper than your 10-20K budget. Actually there are a lot of them, and you will get all sorts of suggestions from this forum. Have fun researching and shopping. | |

| Aurender Music Server and CD Transport comparison Get a CD transport with USB output and send it to the Aurender. It should sound identical to music played off the hard drive. | |
| Subwoofer and preamp output impedance Excellent choice. That has a lot of adjustments. | |
| I took Frank Zappa’s advice They’re out of margarine. | |
| Subwoofer and preamp output impedance when you use a splitter, that will be paralleled, so if the sub has a 10k input impedance your preamp will see about 9k Ohms overall. A huge difference from the 100k it saw before the sub was hooked up. The highs could be affected. |
