| Quality Transport for my Dac I used I2S between my PWT and an older PSA dac and preferred this interface. I tried S/PDIF coax, but had to roll a lot of cables until I found one as good as the I2S. | |
| Quality Transport for my Dac Seems to be a great setup. And you get to use I2S.The Jay's Audio transport is getting a lot of raves. It has AES output. | |
| Quality Transport for my Dac @fruitloopsr I own the PS Audio PWT memory player. I'm very pleased with it's Redbook playback. Music is realistic and dynamic.The Directstream DAC will stream if you install the Bridge II. | |
| Quality Transport for my Dac The big question is do you need DSD? Will you be playing SACDs? | |
| Quality Transport for my Dac +1 George. Except no DSD. | |
| Reducing Humming Sound If not DC offset, it could be that the transformer is not mounted solidly in the chassis. There are members here who know how to correct this.Or it's simply a transformer that hums. | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? I had a DC power cable that didn't fit well, so I ordered one from Monoprice and it worked perfectly. | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? Doesn't the Swagman have an IEC that accepts a standard power cable?By "wall-wart" do you mean the DC power cable with the 2.1mm barrel connector that goes from LPS to Arcam? | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? I sold two items recently within days of posting. Both were acceptable offers. Now I have a big ticket item up for sale and very low response. Only extremely low-ball offers and tire kickers. Have counter offered my lowest price (very fair IMO) an... | |
| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues @erik_squires After finding the corroded line in the meter, moving the system (2- 20A lines) to the opposite leg greatly reduced the volume of the hum in the Equi=Core. When this hum presented and for the past month, it was so LOUD that it could ... | |
| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues @atmasphere , replacement of the breaker solved the tripping problem. Now, I should add that the electrician found corrosion on one leg in the meter outside due to water leakage. This will be replaced soon. Until then, the subpanel breaker was mov... | |
| Need input That's a great vintage find! Looking forward to your impressions. | |
| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues I don't believe it's defective and I only wanted him to test connections, which he said he can't work on ancillary equipment.I opened it up and inspected it. | |
| Any audible difference between cheap and expensive BNC cables? Of course, proper impedance is important, so is capacitance and the impedance match of the devices being used. The digital stream enters the cable as a square wave. The design/material of the cable and its length will determine how much reflection... | |
| Any audible difference between cheap and expensive BNC cables? S/PDIF cables do matter. I've heard differences in each cable I have owned or auditioned. With BNC terminations you will have the required 75ohms for digital. As @steakster says, a high quality BNC/RCA adapter is required. He mentions that some ca... |
