| Simple device for downsampling? "Is your goal just to compare the two for kicks or to ultimately decide which one to keep?" I have four and will keep two or three. The comparison is for kicks, and the first decision is which of them to keep in my main system. I have a Metrum ... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? I believe the DAC chip is the smaller chip sitting on the red base in the picture of my DAC. Does that conform with where the DAC chip is located in your DAC-1? | |
| Simple device for downsampling? Yeah, I haven’t opened it yet but Patrick told me the original chip only operated to 44.1 kHz so the CS8412 must be the second chip they used as he told me 48 kHz is the limit, which my use so far confirms. At least it seems to accommodate a 24-b... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? Thanks again everyone. The fix within roon settings is a nice solution since the setting is specific to a specific endpoint/zone so, by dedicating this DAC to a specific endpoint, I could then use other DACs with other endpoints/streamers set to ... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? Thanks guys, Eric, I found the setting and set it to 16-bit, 48kHz. A setting within Roon is exactly what I was hoping to find. I will have a chance to listen in a little while and will report back. The DAC I am trying to accommodate is pretty... | |
| Auralic Vega G2.1 vs Lumin T3 I have lifetime Roon accessibility so would probably not go with Aurender in the event I ever did want to go back to using Roon. I also don't like being locked into using gear from only one brand in order to get the best sound. My current server... | |
| Auralic Vega G2.1 vs Lumin T3 @mgrif104 Thank you for the response and suggestions. I have recently stumbled across the Rose RS130 streamer which, based on the current review comments, sounds promising. Word is, it sounds quite good. However, I am skeptical because it see... | |
| Auralic Vega G2.1 vs Lumin T3 I am also evaluating adding an upgraded streamer and I have a couple of new DACs on their way here as well (SMc Audio DAC-2 arrives Friday and my Mola Mola Tambaqui should be here within the week). I am interested in the Auralic Aries G2.2 str... | |
| Power Cables - Third Party or OEM Electricity is indifferent wrt brand names so you don’t need to pay big money, unless you want to, of course. What makes a good power cable? Stranded conductors that are adequately sized for the amperage (14 to 12 awg is typically suitable for... | |
| LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these? From Stereophile: The Thiel CS3.7's voltage sensitivity is specified as 90dB/2.83V/m. My B-weighted estimate on its tweeter axis, assessed with DRA Labs' MLSSA system, was slightly above that figure, at 90.7dB(B)/2.83V/m. This may well have been... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing I did not see your specific needs in your post, i.e., do you use Roon to stream from, and do you need a server to play stored files, either from an on-board drive or from a NAS? If you use Roon, their own Nucleus or Nucleus+ show up in some prett... | |
| Server/Streamer - sonicTransporter i9 and Signature Rendu SE Seems to be a lack of interest in this topic based on my receiving only two responses both of which are from retailers selling servers. I have been doing on-line research and, outside of some signal manipulation options offered by a few of the up... | |
| Server/Streamer - sonicTransporter i9 and Signature Rendu SE I replied through your SGC website and left contact information. | |
| Server/Streamer - sonicTransporter i9 and Signature Rendu SE Anyone else have any thoughts, about the sonicTransporter i9 optical? Is this a sufficient server/streamer/Roon core for a relatively hi-rez system or is there something missing relative to the better server/streamers out there such as Antipodes,... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? @duckworp Nice comparison process between the two DACs. Many posts about equipment here from folks who don't put the effort into actually conducting direct comparisons or listening tests in a manner that reduces inherent biases, and other posts... |
