| CD Transports +1 @curiousjim.@instlouis, in addition to the excellent SQ produced using I2S, the PSA memory transport reads the disc, then uses a buffer (FPGA) to clock and error correct the data before outputting the signal. The result is very low jitter and ... | |
| Tidal digital hi-fi vs records @cleeds , Using a direct copy of the analogue master to produce CDs. Minimal compression during the A to D process, no remastering, no additional EQ added.I'm referring to the mastering and transferring to media before the Loudness Wars. | |
| Is it just me or does the "new" posting parameters seem like there unproductive? Seriously, what are these new parameters? | |
| Tidal digital hi-fi vs records @noromance , putting aside the vinyl/digital debate, there could be other reasons for a difference in SQ. Consider the quality of your components, is your analogue rig better than your streamer? Also, I've noticed that some songs on Tidal don't so... | |
| CD Transports @curiousjim , why order the ProJect DAC and then move to the BiFrost Multibit? They are two very different animals, which I would imagine, have very different sonics. The S2 uses a Sabre DAC chip and supports MQA. The Schiit is a NOS ladder dac us... | |
| CD Transports If you own the Direct Stream DAC, then you have a device which uses a FPGA for excellent jitter reduction. | |
| Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service? @goofyfoot , right now I'm streaming on Deezer and tracks are skipping thru entire albums.So, no idea what is going on. You and I have different setups and are both experiencing this problem. I don't think I've experienced any skipping with Qobuz... | |
| Looking for an Audio Show It's true there seems to be a lack of HiFi shows in the Philly area. | |
| Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service? So 5gHz and ethernet, a good setup. I had this problem with Tidal and Deezer. Can you troubleshoot by using Tidal and Qobuz without Amarra? | |
| new equipment power conditioner or more powerful amp? My 2 cents... improve your power by installing dedicated AC lines; cleaner power which will provide a lower noise floor.Next would be room treatments, they don't have to be expensive. Then you'll hear the true sound of your current system. | |
| Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service? @goofyfoot , what streaming service are you using and what hardware?I have experienced jumping tracks, but it only seems to happen when playing a selected stream and not an album.There may be too much traffic on the 2.4gHz band.I plan on buying a ... | |
| Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service? I’ve tried free subscriptions to Tidal, Deezer, and Qobuz. Tidal and Deezer have a deep rock catalogue. I was turned off by so much hip-hop being recommended by Tidal, plus they had a poor classical selection.I upgraded my Qobuz to hires (Studio v... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion The same applies to recording jazz or classical in a studio. It’s easy to tell when close mic techniques are applied and recording the instruments separately is done. Adding reverb and post effects can’t simulate the ambience of a band playing tog... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion I agree with the OP regarding acoustic music. For realistic imaging and soundstaging it begins at the the source; recording the instruments and venue properly. With proper mic placement and recording techniques, the location of instruments in spa... | |
| heeeelp please audio reserch 5SE - resistor blew up I also trust Andy to test NOS regulators and rectifiers. Using Tung Sol in two Audio Note components. T-S recommended by the designer. |
