| Why does FM radio sound so good? Good call, Cleeds. Carts were clunky, but the later generation of tape decks used to rec/playback were first-rate. When making a promo or any recording, you would hit a button and a cue tone would be recorded into the tape. That marked the end of ... | |
| Why does FM radio sound so good? It used to be vinyl with 2 or 3 TT’s in the control room (the DJ booth). There was a large library with many thousands of records which were very worn and scratched until the Music Director would replace them, (very rarely). R-R tape was also used... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Open question; is it worth experimenting with a Toslink cable from my transport to DAC (in case there is a grounding issue)?I'm not dealing with computer audio at this time since I need to have my Mac serviced. | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Dave, I believe the clocking performed by the FGPA in the Exogal makes a reclocker unnecessary. But, everyone of us would have still tried for that extra bit of perfection.I'll bet the Purist cable also is excellent. I have all Purist analogue cab... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC A couple updates for all you kind gentlemen regarding my quest for better SQ from my digital. I’m now using shielded cables from the DAC and PWT into my Brickwall (which uses ferrite filtering), plus some PS Audio Noise Harvesters and the results ... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Thanks, Dave. They display the pics of the LPS-1 including the PCB from both sides, so it seems they're proud of their design. I imagine they are filtering any leakage to a very small amount.OTOH, the JS-2 LPS looks awesome. But that is some serio... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC @dlcockrum , the UltraCap LPS-1 looks like a great device. But what is the advantage of the LPS-1 over a traditional LPS with a toroidal transformer, e.g.; Teddy Pardo? According to the Uptone website, it has superior isolation to prevent AC leak... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Dave, I just realised your link is to the Wyred DSD SE version. That would be an upgrade. Thanks. | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Thanks Dave, understood. | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC I had a thought and before I make a purchase on a new DAC, I'm going to upgrade the power source to my PSA. I'm currently using all Audience PC's, which I've learned are unshielded. I'm sure a shielded PC is recommended for digital devices.I've ch... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Yes, Dave, I always have resale value in the back of my mind. | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC There is a Blue Circle R2R DAC available, it’s about 5 years old, and limited to only 24/96 USB. But I do like their gear.An Ayre Codex has become available, but I don’t know about using all optical. I don’t even know if there are any reclockers f... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC @rodge827 That sounds like the way to go when using coax. Didn't know that iFi made a reclocker, looks good. I almost bought the Synchromesh when I was using an ARC as my transport, but I discovered the great deal on the discontinued PWT.As I stat... | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC @stereo5 , @erik_squires , Thanks.I have read about the Wyred4Sound dac2 and it may only be a horizontal move from the Nuwave.The Mytek Brooklyn seems like it would be the right upgrade for me. It's now on my list, if the price is right. | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC Benchmark DACs have a smooth but detailed top end. They all have a forward presentation in the mid range. I think this works great for far field listening but might be too forward if you sit close to the speakers. Imaging is excellent if you li... |
