| DAC Upgrade @chisom1 To be clear, when though I would say the Yggy doesn’t perform as well as some similarly priced gear, any defects shouldn’t be easily audible. The fact is even cheap DACs nowadays are very good. | |
| AirPlay - "Best" solution help... @ljgerens The iFi Purifier is more for extremecases, like 30ft cable runs and whatnot. It adds some low frequency noise and distortion due to its power supply and whatnot, but should be low in level. Here are some files with varying amounts of “... | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?attachments/topping-d10-spdif-coax-jitter-dashboa...I think that is a “direct measurement” as you would call it of the $90 Topping D10, RMS jitter of ~127psec vs what you measured the iFi Purifier... | |
| Looking for Recommendation for AVR Denon or Marantz. For Denon, a X3400 (X3500 if you need phono and HDMI 2.1 features). Anthem is good, I would only consider it if you wanted to use the room correction and you didn’t want to pay the extra $20 for the Audyssey app for Denon/Mar... | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio You state the 96dB of dynamic range that undithered 16Bit offers is too lowWhat? I never said this Uhh:CD quality (from a CD player) is a low-bar for me.CD is 16Bit, which if undithered has a noise floor averaging -96dBFS. Let’s say your room is ... | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio @audioengr I’m assuming you mean jitter immune as in total suppression, or at least past 24Bit. I’m talking at least a fair deal of reduction. You state the 96dB of dynamic range that unditered 16Bit offers is too low. Can you explain how you ca... | |
| Torus RM60 BAL vs Richard Gray Powerhouse @clearthink I’m talking about having no warranty. If the company’s official stance is that if their product doesn’t protect your devices, they aren’t reliable, then I would be very hesitant to trust them over a much more well known, well tested b... | |
| Torus RM60 BAL vs Richard Gray Powerhouse @bearotti It’s not about the fact of if you need the warranty, it’s the fact that the manufacturers stand behind their products and are confident in its performance. Would you buy a car from a new brand that doesn’t have a powertrain warranty? | |
| Torus RM60 BAL vs Richard Gray Powerhouse @bearotti The fact that I’ve seen even $100,000 warranties for the surge protectors at Wal-Mart and no evident warranties for the two products you mentioned, should should how confident those brands are in their products protecting from dangerous... | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio @audioengr Direct measurements are more telling. However, if the output of the DAC is worse, shouldn’t the direct measurements be worse as well? Also, Amir states in the review that it’s caused by its switching power supply and small enclosure; i... | |
| Advice on bookshelf speakers (Sierra 2, Buchardt, Monitor Audio, LS50) @jnehma1 The issue isn’t limited wattage supply, the issue is limited wattage handling by the speakers. Most speakers can’t handle more than around 100W, especially without distorting. Some even only 40W and the most I have seen is ~200W (such as... | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio @audioengr https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-ifi-ipurifier-... The iFi only works when there is a ton of jitter, which Amir could only get by actually inducing jitter with his AP, most real-wor... | |
| Torus RM60 BAL vs Richard Gray Powerhouse Get a M5400-PM and call or a day. I honestly don’t understand why you think your incoming power is so bad you need to thousands of dollars to clean it up. Worrying about the television/video components on the same breakers affecting the quality is... | |
| TV digital audio - Home theatre vs Stereo audio If only 2.0 (no subwoofer(s)), then optical carries it lossless. | |
| Advice on bookshelf speakers (Sierra 2, Buchardt, Monitor Audio, LS50) 30ft listening distance?!!!! Well, that’s your issue, most speakers aren’t loud enough for >15ft away, especially not the LS50’s which are <85dB sensitive, I was gonna recommend the Philharmonic BMR (better than the Sierra-2 and LS50), but i... |
