| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mahgister You are parroting ambiophonics stuff at me. My old Tact had all the necessary filters for an ambiophonics system which I set up. There was a more stable image across the field, but it paled in comparison to what you have at the listen... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system It is difficult to describe what state of the art imaging sounds like. Obviously, we are all use to hearing our own systems and how they perform. Many of us think they sound really good. Stereo system imaging is for all intents and purposes a surr... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks Your link set off my virus alarm. Let's assume 104 bits is correct. The DEQX has a 64 bit floating point processor. Regular processors like the one that is in your Mojo can only work in integers. Floating point processors can calculate... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? @daveyf Anyone who uses a computer for their digital source uses a USB to SPDIF or AES EBU conversion somewhere. It is either in the streamer or a separate piece. Anyone who buys digital files online or streams utilizes an asynchronous to synchr... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks That comment was not meant to be condescending tl, it is an unfortunate fact of life. Very few systems image near the state of the art or have the level of detail heard in even moderately priced headphones. I lived with such systems for... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? @daveyf You get a USB to SPDIF converter. Streamers always start with an asynchronous data stream, USB. This is the way information is exchanged in the computer world. The question is where the stream is clocked for music. It can be clocked in ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks The Chord Mojo 2 is a cute little DAC/headphone amp. The fastest it can go is 756/32. The Artix 7 field programmable gated array processor is trick in this application because it requires very little power. A 64 bit Floating point proce... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @baylinor , Us older philes had a negative view of tone controls and qualizers because the older analog versions messed up the image and added distortion. DIgital versions do not do this. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @tlcocks The PEQ in the processors I mention above are GUI style ganged controls. You adjust them on you computer and they can be used on the fly. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system @mirolab I do not use a separate Equalizer. All digital preamp processors have EQ capability of one sort or another. The ones I have used and use currently have EQ in several different forms. The first is your typical parametric EQ but with freq... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? @drmuso I have made the comparison on several occasions and playing a file from your hard drive sounds better than streaming. It is counterintuitive. It is only numbers and should sound identical, but it does not. I stream tio check out new musi... | |
| "I'm a believer" @mahgister Good for you Mahgi. I agree, cables represent a very minor part of a system. They are either good cables or they are not. It is also easy to make your own cables of the highest performance and save thousands. There is a point of dim... | |
| Towers with built in subs vs separate subs @ditusa , That is not the case at all. For subwoofers to perform their best they need to be in multiples and positioned differently than the main speakers. Subwoofers can be integrated perfectly with appropriate time, phase and amplitude manageme... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? @jasonbourne71 I have owned two of them and I would think everyone knows by now my opinion of that turntable and I am certainly not alone in that opinion. That is also not the only component in the OP's vinyl compartment. My overriding point is,... | |
| Quandry @rvpiano , You avoid that hole by learning how to deal with a turntable. No adjustment is permanent. Poorly adjusted anti skating can cause mistracking, severity depending on the cartridge, which can make things sound pretty bad and also damage y... |
