| Best speakers for Pink Floyd? One thing for sure they need to be very pink! 🐷 | |
| Is computer audio a bust? I've started running plex app player on my laptop with usb connection to mhdt dac in my main setup. Results are really impressive and exceeded my expectations for an older usb dac. I've been running squeezebox touch to same dac and system for ... | |
| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? Nice choice! Should sound really good. Little to loose if you don't like it for any reason. | |
| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? Ears don’t lie, but do have limitations:1) you can’t hear something unless you buy it or go hear it somewhere else first2) If you hear it somewhere else first, you are hearing an entire setup, not just the thing you are interested in hearing. So y... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Roger that all sounds fine and good. You nicely summarized the differences between live sound waves and the waves that result in devices that conduct electricity used to reproduce live events.So all designers tackle the same problem in different w... | |
| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? Specifications relating to how devices interface with other devices are always important. Many examples some of more consequence than others, but you ALWAYS want to know if or how well one device will work with another before buying. Other specs o... | |
| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? I used to design and implement up and resampling algorithms (and others) for image processing of satellite and aerial photography imagery.Never for digital audio. The problem is different there but the principles are similar. DCS Ring DAC technolo... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I can tell from listening session to listening session what’s going on, but do I really hear things accurately? Has it improved overnight ... or not? Or, has the change actually moved things backwards a bit? Not only that but can one be sure a cha... | |
| Would someone explain what "up sampling" means and how it can affect the sound? Just listen to the DAC and don't worry about upsampling. Resulting sound quality depends on much more than that alone. Can never hurt to understand what it is though. I have a non oversampling DAC and others that do. They all sound lovely. ... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... " I doubt anyone can claim their stuff is neutral."I can claim anything I want. Doesn't make it true. How about we meet in the middle and just say some things are more neutral than others? Then we can all move on. i will go back to plowin... | |
| Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables? Your description of MIT is spot on based on the ones I’ve used. I tend to think of MIT as a kind of band aid but good for bass and taking the edge off things if needed.They have a unique sound and sound nothing like any others I’ve tried including... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. My personal assessment is I find if I do not connect with what I hear the culprit is usually noise and distortion. Sometimes its effects are so subtle you don't know its there until gone. But the effect is the same ie no "connection" . Min... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... You did. But you know of course being clear only gets one so far sometimes.... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. Sure. If one has accurate speakers and not connecting, system is one possibility. There’s all the other usual contenders you can read about all the time on sites like this as well.Its harder to sort through than the Republican Presidential Candida... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... All the world’s a photon, eh? Interesting theory.Well who would have thought there was a relationship between energy and mass before Al (Einstein not Gore). Let me know if you guys work this out and if so how it matters for my hifi. Then I just mi... |
