| Why not a run high quality USB cable ^^^^ That should make it easier for people who don't want to run a cable across the floor from computer "front end" to DAC in rack and people with big rooms. Nice price too! | |
| Share : how to convert dvd and video to Apple TV This is spam. I don't see a way to report it. | |
| S.O.S. on Windows 7 Media Player 12 Disconnecting from the internet is simple, but probably overkill and a PITA to plug/unplug. I'd just block the ports or IP address(es) in the firewall that WM player accesses if the method that Lenny zwik mentioned doesn't do the job. | |
| Gain levels after ripping... I would imagine that some software could process the data from the disc and set the gain to some specified level, but by default it should just be copying the data from the disc to the hard drive. My .WAV files all don't have the same level of gai... | |
| External hard drives and sound quality Doesn't seem like you've read any of the previous posts. | |
| usb dac for hi-end system And to add what to Jeff said, it doesn't make a difference if you use firewire or USB because all you are doing is sending bits from one place to another. The better implementations using either interface do not try to recover clocking from the in... | |
| usb dac for hi-end system Why does it matter if it is in packets or not? Some S/PDIF implementations buffer on the target, so why does it matter how the data makes it to the DAC? Also I don't see where Firewire data is not "packeted". All serial based links (serdes) use da... | |
| usb dac for hi-end system "On paper", I'd stay away from any S/PDIF given that S/PDIF require one to derive the clock from the input signal. Asynchronous USB DACs don't have to do that and jitter is extremely low - not induced by the data link mechanism. However, in the en... | |
| Applications of USB 3.0 in Music Storage. USB 3.0 is basically faster USB 2.0. Unless you need the extra speed/bandwidth, USB 3.0 won't give anything more than USB 2.0 wrt music playback. USB 2.0 disk drives work just fine for storing musics files so USB 3.0 should work just fine, too. US... | |
| ASIO/ JRiver versus Windows Media Were these tests done with lossless files sending raw PCM out a USB port? I highly doubt it. Assuming the software is configured and executing properly, if the hardware is so cheap to affect the sound you wouldn't be able to use the USB ports for ... | |
| To all USB audio users As long as the software preserves the bits from the .wav file or lossless compressed file to the USB port it doesn't matter what kind of hardware you are using when connecting to a USB DAC. An asych based USB DAC would be the best one to use wrt j... | |
| Apple and Privacy issues "Larry_S must work for Apple, Google, or the CIA (when he's not "listening" to audio)."No, I just post on topic for the forum/site I'm reading. Just because people use MACs for audio doesn't mean all the software on the system is a subject for dis... | |
| Apple and Privacy issues What does Safari, Google or CIA have to do with listening to audio? Please take your soapbox elsewhere. | |
| Importance of source quality with asynch USB DAC? Thanks, Horacio.I spent minimal time comparing the QB-9 and DV50. I didn't hear any obvious difference. The DV50 is still around for SACD and DVD-A. I use a Seagate portable USB drive (350 or 500GB, cant' remember). I rip CDs on my desktop and the... | |
| Importance of source quality with asynch USB DAC? From what I've read the source really doesn't matter for "regular" or asynch USB DAC. The "smarts" are in the DAC to handle some sort of flow control for a "regular" DAC and it's up to the DAC to provide the timing. If you're using a laptop for ju... |
