ayon integrateds--USB input... for what?
Thanks Guys... an Update...my friend got his Ayon CD player...I listened to it....WOW! Hands down the best cd player I've ever heard...and obviously the DAC circuitry is top notch...smooth but not softened analog sound. Gammajo...that's good food ... 
Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
And....We're off! ; )This, like any other "does cable make a difference" related question, will likely generate strong and polar opposite replies. In MY experience, In MY Opinion... Digital cables including USB make little to no difference. In fac... 
How to check an IC?
400 ohms is high...theoretically it should be zero...in reality, probably fluctuate around zero. The procedure is as follows... 1) Make very sure you ohmeter/voltmeter is set to measure resistance...check this by touching the probes together...you... 
ayon integrateds--USB input... for what?
Thanks Guys....I did end up talking with Paul at USA Tube (You are correct, easy guy to talk with)... Turns out it is an onboard DAC but only on that one model....for some reason I got it in my head that it was multiple Ayons that had it. Be curio... 
ayon integrateds--USB input... for what?
Thanks Reubent....Of course, I don't mean to be snobbish by my question I just had not heard of such a thing on anything but very inexpensive equipment. And then, only rarely. For the record, I'm running a Musical Fidelity A5 and love it...so agai... 
Need some Jazz recommendations..some pop and swing
Cant tell you how much I appreciate the thoughtful suggestions...I will be researching all of them! 
HELP with MAC MINI and PS DIgital III DAC
Upsampling and processing and outputting a high res signal are two entirely different things....I really don't think you're going to get high res from the USB port...however, as far as I know the optical will support it.Good Luck. 
HELP with MAC MINI and PS DIgital III DAC
Meiwan raises a good point/possibility...Itunes cannot handle FLAC...I use Max to convert from FLAC to AppleLossless, and it's free and easy to use. Once you convert to Alossless, ITUNES will see and process it just like other music in your librar... 
HELP with MAC MINI and PS DIgital III DAC
which input are you using...? Don't think the USB port can support hi rez. 
Help with DAC Going nuts
I have to say....the PS Audio DLINK 3...which can be had here anytime for around $500 simply cannot be beat for the money. Since you like tubes...this unit is right up your alley.... It is warm yet detailed...unlike MANY reasonably priced DACs... ... 
The Feelies are back
Thanks for the heads up....I LOVE the Feelies....now if only we could get Vulgar Boatmen going again! Talk about two great bands that few have heard of. 
I have a PC, and I love iTunes. What next?
My Opinion...you don't need an expensive DAC to get world class performance...just a relatively recent one. The DAC he speaks of (PS Audio Dlink III can be had anytime for $500 here...which is a steal...lots of people trading up... to take advanta... 
I have a PC, and I love iTunes. What next?
BTW, Anyone who says "USB and ITUNES are mid-FI at best" has NO idea what they are talking about and probably have no first hand experience with a lossless/DAC/USB setup.... I think the BS start with people equating ITUNES to significantly compres... 
I have a PC, and I love iTunes. What next?
I think you are there...I've been using apple lossless, an IMAC, a PS Dlink 3, and the USB for a while now. In my system...the USB connection actually sounded much better...I'm not talking subtleties ...the Optical sounded washed out in comparison... 
Need Rec--Affordable Proac D25-esque speaker
re. Kclone's inquiry... Family Sound...To these ears...Spooky good imaging...Realistic, in the room midrange/vocals...surprisingly deep soundstage...simply the most engaging speakers I've ever heard...more toward the polite and musical than the ac...
