| Anyone listening to 24/196? Kijanki - tell me more. It outputs analog, so I assume you mean input? The literature says it downsamples to 110 even though ithas 192 kHz DACs - that is why I am confused by it. So you are saying they are doing that because they found with that p... | |
| Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..?? Dazzdax, I don't think BurrBrown is at all already dated, but they have different price levels and intended audiences is all. Once you are at the Bryston and Alpha Dac, you are in some pretty serious territory.One question I have, do the dcs stack... | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? One small interesting note, it seems the Bryston only takes 16-bit word length via USB (it can take the full 24 via other connections), wherease the Benchmark does take 24 via USB. From what I hear getting a decent sound card with AES is best, how... | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? Yes, although you need a different DAC for SACD, as it doesn't resolve to the PCM x/y khz format. What I mean is that something like the Bryston can decode all variants of x/y between certain parameters, but SACD is a different (DSD) process and i... | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? http://www.2l.no/hires/index.htmland they are releasing on Blu-Ray, http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/2L-Founder-blu-ray-audio-future-1652.shtmlAnd I found this, which is on 176.4 khzhttp://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1215130465&... | |
| My head hurts.... Add a Benchmark DAC which can absorb 24/192 at a decent price, then you can play with internet based extremely high quality music as well as route any other players you have through it. It looks like PCM 24/192 via BR or FLAC files might be the re... | |
| Bryston BCD-1 to upgrade or not? I thought with re-clocking it doesn't matter how good the source component is, it can send things with gigantic jitter and the DAC re-composes the signal completely? | |
| MMG 3.6 ON 13' X 18' ROOM Well, I'm not sure I agree with everyone. I recently demo'd (quite extensively!) 1.6s compared to 3.6s, and the fact is that the ribbon is everything people say it is (suffice it to say I have the 3.6s). And audio is all about trade-offs, so here ... | |
| Is break in quicker with Planars and Stats? Norton - with Magnepans at least you can take a Radio Shack SPL meter and measure the falloff at a certain level of input in bass, and 3 months later the response curve is different. I don't know as much about cone speakers and personal experience... | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test Yeah, exactly. I just did the (dynamics, not amp a vs b) test mentioned above, and on the Shostakovitch disk got a couple of 105 db peaks and many, many over 100 db on a nominal level of 78 db. I was using fast / C weighting. Quite dynamic! I prob... | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test While I was composing Drubin's comment got in there. So 'agreed overall' with both of them - but I was referring to MrTennis originally. | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test Agreed overall. Maybe an extremely minor impact. But, I like academics! And I do have the belief that if we all have similar logical patterns and similar data people should generally eventually come to the same conclusions - I know I'm a hopeless ... | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test Soundlabs are probably better for this as they are rated at 8 ohms, then I could very easily get a $40 amp versus the 4-ohm rated ones which are of higher quality. | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test Oem - I think your point about Carver actually possibly supports what this guy is saying. Remember, the premise here is that he will use an EQ in front of one amp to make it sound like the other to eliminate soft top or bottom ends. He agrees that... | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test So, I've been looking for the 'cheapest' 4-Ohm rated amplifier I can find. This is one candidate:http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=TX-8222&p=i&class=ReceiverI have nothing against Onkyo - I was hoping for a much lower brand, but that is ... |
