| CD direct to monobloks? It all depends on how good the variable output stage of the CDP is and how it will match with the input impedance of the power amps. This is very important and could make or break a direct-to-power-amp setup.Going power amp direct will be the shor... | |
| USB cables I am at a loss as to how could the USB cable make any difference in sync USB. In adaptive I see, the good old jitter, but in asynchronous mode? If the data transfer is accurate, and even the cheaper ones achieve this, what's left to be improved by... | |
| Benchmark Dac 1 USB I strongly suggest you look into Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2. It has Async USB, which is wonderful.I'm talking as an ex owner of a Benchmark DAC-1 who found W4S to be a superior product, and by a large margin. In my humble opinion, W4S is way better (albe... | |
| Dedicated Line For my system, which is computer-based, I have a dedicated 12 gauge line powering the DAC and power amp only. It's regular Romex wire, nothing special.The computer itself and the external hard drive are powered from a separate circuit, but not a d... | |
| Speltz anti-cables and Vandersteens....... Had a similar experience going with Anti-Cables from Audioquest Type 8. Significant improvement for a fraction of the cost of the AQ which I enjoyed for a couple of years and thought were very good. I switched on a whim and "why not", looking just... | |
| W4S or Rega Dac - Opinions Wanted I currently own a W4S DAC-2 and had the Music Hall DAC for audition from Audio Advisor. I returned the Music Hall, and I didn't have the W4S at that time.My opinion is that W4S is significantly superior.For me, W4S DAC2 in async USB directly into ... | |
| spdif from win 7 laptop to rega dac. No sound. The light was there, for it's the carrier, but the light pulses didn't carry anything but empty clock pulses while the device was disabled.Looks like you problems are now solved, happy listening. | |
| spdif from win 7 laptop to rega dac. No sound. Check the audio settings, in Control Panel, could be that S/PDIF output is disabled. | |
| Oppo BD-95 file capability Ozzy,On Oppo's web site is stated "No, there is no support for Apple lossless." http://wiki.oppodigital.com/index.php?title=BDP-93_Media_Files_FAQThe link is for BDP-93 because Oppo itself states that both players share the same streaming capabili... | |
| Oppo BD-95 file capability Before considering going to the BDP-95, just make sure this unit's DLNA non-compliance is an issue for you or not.Do a forum search and you'll find posts addressing this very issue.The unit sounds very good, but, as far as I know, there are some s... | |
| Why does foobar stop & display No, kernel streaming in not Windows 7 specific. You may find more support on foobar forum or asking Wyred 4 Sound directly, over the phone or via email. They are great guys and will help you, no doubt about it. | |
| Speed of groove. The answer, as you realize, is that there is no effect, because what is relevant is stylus deflection velocity, not tangential groove velocitySplendid, that was exactly my point as well.Happy New Year, everybody. | |
| Speed of groove. Precisely! That's all we are sayingWell, I understood this all along, but the original poster was talking about correlating the cartridge's output voltage with the linear velocity of the record. This is the correlation I said I didn't understand a... | |
| Speed of groove. For sake of simplicity, let's consider the vertical movement only and 1kHz sine wave shaped groove for a constant amplitude of the signal. And let's take only the positive semi-period, thus a nice rounded "bump".At the outer edge of the record, th... | |
| Speed of groove. One could easily tell that I'm not a phono guy, but I fail to understand why a phono cartridge's output voltage will be in any way correlated to the linear velocity of the record.To me, if one would need to correlate the output voltage to a speed,... |
