| Have you ever turned on your system, only to find My W4S ST-500 just arrived from its previous owner. Gave it a cursory inspection, hooked it up and... the image is off center. By a significant margin. I employ the balance control of the W4S DAC2 and it brings it back, but still doesn't sound rig... | |
| Wyred4Sound Dac-2 vs Preamp and separate DAC I am using W4S DAC-2 via async USB directly into W4S-ST 500 with excellent results.DAC-2 doesn't have a "preamp section per se". It's the usual analog section following the Sabre DAC chip.Volume control is performed in the digital domain, before t... | |
| What software for 24/192 playback on PC? foobar works very well for me and it's free. A wonderful piece of software. | |
| Oppo 980H DVD Player for CD use only Is the OPPO properly configured? Maybe you have some DSP kicking in while taking out only the two main channels... | |
| USB - SPDIF on Eastern Electric DAC I strongly believe that no USB to SPDIF converter will, jitter-wise, do the same thing as as "native" async USB DAC.This is because SPDIF itself introduces jitter and no matter how jitter free the signal is inside the converter, once outputted as ... | |
| Disappointing Evening This thread makes me think of the fact the the proponents of multichannel systems claim that stereo is a "social disaster", for these is only one sweet spot.Well, apparently that one sweet spot is all that's really needed... | |
| USB - SPDIF on Eastern Electric DAC I am not going to ask why would you want to go this route (limiting yourself to only 24/96) instead of upgrading to a DAC with async USB built-in, (which could give you 24/192) but I'll ask this: Have you tried with another computer, just to elimi... | |
| So could HiRez downloads sound as good as SACD? In short, yes. Yes HiRez can match SACD sound quality and yes you're wrong thinking that the "lossless stuff" in only for redbook CD.Any computer with USB and a (preferably asynchronous and capable of more than 16/44) DAC will give you hirez audio... | |
| DAC's, i'm lost Wyred 4 Sound DAC-1 is very good and tips the scale at $995 | |
| The new Oppo93 vs.83se, for audio Ton1313I was referring to *separate analog outs for stereo*, like 83 and 95 have. That, at least in my mind, being an indicator that the 83 and 95 units are targeting the audiophile, putting more emphasis on two channel, whereas 93 targets the vid... | |
| Weiss DAC2 or W4S or PWD or Zodiac + or . . . I do have W4S DAC-2 fed async USB from a notebook, Windows 7, running foobar playing FLAC.Superb sound, absolutely no complaints. Much better than the Benchmark via S/PDIF I used to have before with the same setup. YMMV. | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? I tried moving speakers 4" further away from back wall-- seemed to make a difference.If your initial distance from back wall was 10", you may now have almost same distance of the front baffle from rear and side walls.This seems to infringe one of ... | |
| Headphone Amp. Where to hook it up?? If you want to use the volume control of your integrated, than you'll have to connect your headphone amp to the integrated's pre-out, if available.If not, then you may connect it to the tape loop out and use the headphone amp's volume control. | |
| The new Oppo93 vs.83se, for audio Oppo BDP-93 doesn't even have separate analog outs for stereo.Maybe you were thinking BDP-95? | |
| Why some CDs sound way louder than others? Do a search for "loudness war" and you'll have plenty of answers.It's an unfortunate practice to apply compression, such as all peaks are reduced (flattened) and then raise the overall level. Consequently, the recorded sound will lose its dynamic ... |
