Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi?
Are the current Touch units shipped with wireless G or N? 
Squeezebox Touch: jitter thru wi-fi?
Mapman,Thanks for the clear and concise answer. The good thing about dropouts is there's no second guessing, like with jitter: you either get or don't get dropouts.I'm taking note of bandwith as an issue to keep in mind, especially since I'd like ... 
Bel Canto Dac 3 or Wyred 4sound Dac2
I haven't, yet I've been reading around several DACs, including these. If you are planning on a computer feeding the DAC, then the Wyred has an edge with the asynch USB.Hopefully someone jumps in with actual experience in regards to sonics.Are you... 
Cables for Classe/B&W system?
Anton,I think the recommendation of visiting brick & mortar stores is sound, as well as The Cable Company. FWIW, the store where I purchased my B&W used to recommend Nordost (which they carried, of course) with B&W and Classe or McInto... 
Battle of affordable pre-amps: Rotel vs Parasound
Realremo,I guess I've been lucky. I would probably behave the same as you if I had had your same experience.I also need to upgrade slowly over the years, so I know we want to take time and think through our upgrades.Let me suggest you try the RB10... 
Battle of affordable pre-amps: Rotel vs Parasound
Have you had this system for a while and now want to upgrade pre, or are you starting from scratch?I ask because I understand the Quads are supposed to be very resolving, and I used to have Rotel RB1080 + RC1070 pre with B&W speakers and when ... 
Bryston BDA-1 Best connection?
Summativ,In your experience, what's the best way to implement hi-rez computer audio with the BDA-1? Have you had a BDA-1 fed by a Rotel RCD-1072 used as transport? I hear the 1072 I have is not great at jitter, and wonder how that would affect the... 
Behringer DEQ2496 - wow
Did you try it in the digital domain only? Meaning after processing, sending the digital out to an outboard DAC you are familiar with? How did you like the functionality. 
Ayre QB-9 vs. W4S DAC2 thru USB?
Yeap, the DAC2 lower price + all those included features make me wonder. Many good comments about its sonics, although not much about the USB input. The DAC2 would allow me to use this DAC for my CD player used as transport plus use a computer...w... 
How is Rotel RCD-1072 as a transport? Jitter?
Nothing's broken with mine; just my interest in pushing the envelope! I started from an all-Rotel stereo and upgraded amp and pre, and now I feel this Rotel is the weak link and I could be getting more in terms of 3D and resolution. I wonder if I ... 
McIntosh Tube or Solid State - what way to go?
My experience mirrors what is being said above. A few years back I was looking for an amp and listened to an all Mc system: a CD player, C220 pre, and MC275 vs. MC252 amps, with B&W 804S (the speakers I owned). While both SS and tubes sounded ... 
Accustic Arts DAC I-MK3 & hi-rez audio files?
Jylee,Thanks for the input, Yes, I understand the QB9 is very special, but I do plan to use a computer and continue to use my CD player as a transport...at least for now.Do you know if the DAC I Mk3 can accept hi rez files into the RCAs?What would... 
Accustic Arts DAC I-MK3 & hi-rez audio files?
nobody willing to share his/her experience with this?please??:-) 
Mcintosh MC2102 vs Cary Audio CAD 120s
OK, I don't have many tools for the task, but I'll chime in to defend Mc :-)Just kidding! You know us Mc owners are supposed to be fanatics and thus have to honor that stereotype :-)I never heard Cary so can't compare. I do have a MC275, and prior... 
Digital room correction, any recommendations?
10-12-10: PsagAcousticfrontiers, it looks like the Tact 2.2XP meets both of our criteria. Question: Do I lose any of the correction capabilities by using it between my digital source and DAC, rather than as a digital preamplifier?Psag I believe th...
