| dc10audio Best Sound at RMAF? Not accusing. Just asking because its the only way to find that out when not sure on Agon.Its OK to tout a product, as long as one is forthcoming. Part of being forthcoming is identifying any association one might have with those who profit if suc... | |
| Preamps built Into DACs "The besst overall solution is to use a good volume system to reduce the volume to listening levels and then adjust finely for each track using -0 to -9dB of digital volume. Works like a champ."I agree this is probably the best strategy in most ca... | |
| dc10audio Best Sound at RMAF? Mountain, are you affiliated somehow with dc10audio?I've read several from the media were thrilled with various things there! You're limited posting history on agon, focus on touting one brand and the focus on one gentleman's opinion of the produc... | |

| Preamps built Into DACs "I am currently using the digital VC in my Trinnov processor, and according to the manufacturer at 50db attenutation I am losing information."Isn't loss of information a gradual thing with any volume control as the signal is attenuated? I don't th... | |
| The most dynamic speaker you've heard... Maybe mbl 111e. Or maybe a custom Goto horn system I heard a few years back at Capital Audiofest. But my current OHM F5s are up there as well.Must state though that for any speaker to be truly dynamic, one must have the right amp and gear behind i... | |

| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever For the total package, how about an honorable mention at least for Shirley Jones back in her late 50's, Oklahoma-era prime? Are there any more beautiful female vocals than hers on the Oklahoma movie soundtrack, outside of opera or the classical wo... | |
| Preamps built Into DACs ".....Well even the best S/W DSP volume controls seem to cause audible artifacts at more than about -9dB of volume reduction. No amount of dithering and resampling will help IMO....There is absoltely no consensus on this, nor confirmation in liste... | |
| Preamps built Into DACs "However for well-designed DACs with volume controls, even these will be crushed. There are only a couple out there that accomplish this BTW, so it is likely that you have not heard them."Steve, please list or reference if you have already.Thanks. | |
| Preamps built Into DACs " All the available musical information is encoded in the digital signal. This includes all the timbre, body, spacial information, decay and what have you. "I agree with this and part of why I think the potential for pure digital amps is huge even... | |
| Tannoy vs Klipsch My exposure is limited but I tend to think of Tannoy as more British sounding Klipsch, similar to other differences between many North AMerican/US lines and British competition.Then there are "French" horns and the French sound. Triangle has moved... | |
