| False advertising There are DACs that can do 512 but, you are right, there are often caveats. Clearly, you cannot load a Win/ASIO driver into the Auralic but Mac docs say "supports DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256" without any qualification. Sad. However, if you are using... | |
| question about Balanced signals. Hmmm. I've not come across that before. | |
| question about Balanced signals. my question is regarding sources? what if they only have SE output to the preamp SE inputs? will I at least get some benefit of balanced signal from the preamp? Sure. They will be carried balanced from preamp to power amp. | |

| Your Most Prominent Audio Component 8th-note wrote: The neuron issue relates to an interesting idea about analog vs. digital. Most audiophiles (I think) believe that our brains and nervous systems work on an analog model. Our nervous system, however, much more closely resembles a d... | |
| Your Most Prominent Audio Component If neurology can be likened to capacitors and resistors then technically we are the most important component, and the variations from one human to the next vastly exceed the variations in components. That’s a non sequitur. The standard model of... | |
| Help me identify speakers - AR90s? Value and replacement cost? And I've never seen any in White. From the spatter spray on the back panel, I suspect that the white "finish" is a DIY job. | |
| Looking for a WiFi interface Yes. Run some wires to eliminate drop-outs and avoid the latency/delay inserted by any of the wireless links. I run S/PDIF over Cat6 to my surrounds. | |
| Revel Performa3 Cabinet Defect When I bought my three Revel Studio2s, it was necessary for Revel to send me 6 because I kept getting defective ones. 2 were with cosmetic issues in the veneer and one had a vertical crack in the veneer on one side from top to bottom. Get it ... |
