| Sound Quality @lalitk "First off, I am pleading ignorance here, so my apologies up front, but I need some help on figuring out what this digital stuff is all about" Need I say more? File yes, not CD. | |
| Sound Quality I am ripping, what CDs I have now, in WAV - Uncompressed. Then will transfer them to the SD card on the N200. I also have a few hi-res albums from HD Tracks to add as well. Any good recommendations for a DSD 256 CD to purchase for a test drive, ... | |
| Back to the DAC @goose @westborn it seems to be a case of "Flavor of the Week' with DACs these days! I fell for the R26 hype, which is also small in size & off-shore. Like you, I prefer a full-size chassis. | |
| Back to the DAC Latest update from Bricasti: "It going to be a few weeks, the panel is off the machine and is now being blasted and will need to be sent for platting" | |
| Back to the DAC @westborn I'm sure all the reviewers that LAiV is sending their DAC to get to keep it. They are spending that $1,000 difference on marketing, I bet. | |
| Back to the DAC @ervikingo Thanks for sharing, sounds like a steal! It will be interesting to see how others like this DAC as more people get a hold of it. The reviews have been stunning so far. | |
| Sound Quality @audphile1 Use NDSD and feed it Native DSD from N200. Will do, thanks! when you buy a hi-res album compare the sound of purchased file vs streaming of the same album I have done this in sorts, but I need to do it again when I'm better or... | |
| Sound Quality @mapman @ghdprentice fer’ sure, I’m sure this was the case. I downloaded the contents of the N200 SD card to an old laptop (for reference ) formatted the drive and have added my HD Tracks hi-res files that I have purchased in the past. I’ll use T... | |
| Sound Quality @mclinnguy Cool, thanks for checking that for me! I have a few 192 & 96 kHz - 24 bit files that I purchased from HD Tracks but no DSD files, so I will have to source some out and give them a try. Where did you buy your Patricia Barber's Clique... | |
| Sound Quality @mclinnguy so you can buy DSD files and play them as is, you don't need software to do so, just a capable DAC @audphile1 will the M1 play DSD files? They will sound better, right? | |
| Sound Quality @audphile1 said they were waiting for parts, nothing firm as of yet. Nice thing I found out, is it's already an SE unit, so saving some a bit of coin there. It's just the M1S2 and display to do now. | |
| Sound Quality @ricred1 for sure, I need to experiment with all this myself first! | |
| Sound Quality @ricred1 Cool, but I'm giving this a bit of second thought. Honestly (as some have suggested) with all the streaming content that's out there, there really isn't the need to rip CDs, I guess. That is unless you have something rare that can't be fo... | |
| Sound Quality @lalitk I ripped a CD using dBpoweramp in both WAV and FLAC and listening with on the same computer that I ripped, with a pair of earphones, I couldn't hear a difference. Files were the same size in in a lossless uncompressed state. Do you prefe... | |
| Sound Quality OK. |
