| Why does foobar stop & display Do you have the W4S driver installed and selected in foobar?I'm using foobar & W4S DAC 2 combo, from Windows 7 OS and via kernel streaming though, without any issues whatsoever... | |
| HDCD FLAC FOOBAR SPDIF Cary 303/200 HDCD I'm definitely not as knowledgeable as the other posters, but I'm thinking that once HDCD encoding is taken care of by foobar, then the DAC should not "know about it" and the HDCD light not coming up is correct. The Cary is now fed a 20 bit word P... | |
| Is a DAC still needed? Definitely a DAC makes sense, now more than ever, for the computer/music server based systems.Spinning silver discs will continue to happen, but will dwindle to a trickle.Music servers, like the one W4S is currently offering, rips CDs upon inserti... | |
| DAC with volume control under $250 Anonymoustao, looks like your friend and mine share the same goals when it comes to audio.My friend's system was'n too bad at all, only old. Carver power amp and Infinity Reference Kappa speakers, with a delicious EMIT tweeter.The system, with the... | |
| Pangea AC-9SE vs AC-9 I have moved from AC-9 to AC-9SE for my power amp (W4S ST 500) and appreciate the upgrade.I liked and still like the AC-9 very much, only the SE version improved things noticeably. Tightened the bass and improved clarity across the spectrum withou... | |
| DAC with volume control under $250 OK, here it comes. I had the chance to listen to my friend's Emotiva DAC. First and foremost, he is very happy with it.I, one, less so, but I have to admit that feeding the DAC from Airport Express may not be the best solution, jitter-wise. And I ... | |
| will different lengths affect sound I'm certain that the impact of cable length over arrival time is imperceptible, but not the same could be said about the overall resistance, inductance and capacitance. These will vary with length and be more likely to produce larger differences t... | |
| HDMI cables for audio So does W4S DAC2, but NEITHER will take the usual signal passed through HDMI! It's only the connector and cable, but the signal is I2S.Both these DACs use their HDMI inputs to connect to the PSA Perfect Wave Transport!That input will not work conn... | |
| DAC with volume control under $250 I'll do my best. Probably I won't get to hear it, but I'll post his impressions.We both "owe" this to those who helped us in the search. ;-) | |
| DAC with volume control under $250 My friend has ordered the Emotiva which definitely did fit the budget. Even shipping was included in the $249. It's on its way to him now.Thanks again. | |

| Variations in how your system sounds? 10-13-11: Bdgregory... Also, have you ever noticed how if you leave on vacation for a while, how sweet your system sounds on return?This one I can certainly relate to and seem to experience every vacation. Good to know I'm not alone... | |
| Speaker help - short list needed Sonus Faber Concerto Domus. They are beautiful floor standers.You may get a pair at or around your target price.I have a pair that I fully enjoy driven by a W4S ST-500 power amp. | |
| How many forms of Jitter can you identify? Well, shortly after I clicked "submit" I came to the realization of my "senor moment" when I totally forgot about the buffering that completely eliminates any possibility of jitter being generated by pit/land reading itself.What can I say, I wish ... | |
| How many forms of Jitter can you identify? I see it very possible that a good, clean, as transparent as possible disc will help the laser pickup work at its best and read the light pulses induced by pit-to-land and land-to-pit transitions with very good temporal accuracy. And since jitter ... |
