| Krell S-150M Mono Blocks I have a FPB 300cx and don't even think of changing. There is absolutely nothing about the amp that bothers me (other than its massive size and general ugliness), much I love about it and like a good friendship, after more than 8 years we still ge... | |
| Digitalmeisters - Thoughts on Olive..... I have been looking into an Olive for motnhs and cannot find anyone who has anything good to say about it long-term. Too bad because I hate computers, which I use all day at work.Neal | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? I runRCA IC's from a Wyetech Opal pre (RCA out) to Krell FPB 300cx (only XLR in) and use BAT adaptors (female on RCA side, male on XLR side). Sounds pretty darn good to me, and has for several years now. I had used Cardas adaptors, which also were... | |
| Blue Moon Award for Burson Audio's new DAC/Preamp Charles1 dad,Indeed. If you can understand, so much the better. here is another example of Srabanese. See if you can divine what he is talking about:"For that we need yet another example - auras. Rather than acrylics, auras act like water colors. ... | |
| Blue Moon Award for Burson Audio's new DAC/Preamp Congrats for your ability to understand anything Srajan says in a review. I find his writing impenetrable. Idioms within idioms, and if you are not an audio engineer, there is no chance . . . .Neal | |
| Modwright sony xa 5400cd I had stock player burned in for a couple hundred hours. I really wanted to love it but it was just too "slow." While it was easy to listen to, I found it did not even sound better than my 2004 Dodson 218, and certainly not even close to W4S DAC2 ... | |
| Help with my first DAC under 2K. W4S DAC2. May be your first and last DAC for many years.Neal | |
| I have three digital sources W4S DAC2 will accommodate all your sources and perform admirably. I strongly suspect you will consider it a major strive forward in audio quality and versatility.Neal | |
| Reimyo DAP777 or Dodson 218 ? I owned a Dodson 218 for many years and it is an excellent DAC. However, time has passed it by and I sold it for a W4S DAC2 and the improvement in all areas is enormous. This is the way I would go if I were looking for a new DAC.Neal | |
| Less Loss Blackbodies your experience? I have tried all the big name PC's and think LessLoss PC Sigs are among the tops. dead quiet, very smooth, tighten up bass, greater clarity and naturnall overall. Right up there with Valhallas and Elrod Statements.Never tried BB's. Sound like vood... | |
| Schubert Impromptus Thanks to you all. I ended up ordering the Radu Lupu version because it had great reviews and also is available in 24/96 hi-res. I am sure I would have enjoyed all other versions recommended and appreciate the suggestions on other Schubert music, ... | |
| Ayre QB-9 vs. W4S DAC2 thru USB? When you eliminate the dealer markup you can sell an audio product for a lot less. Don't let the W4S reasonable price deter you; it is worth 2-3X its price, and would cost that much if sold through a dealer network and the cosmetics were gussied u... | |
| Simple & Effective Conversion Software Thank you, Tobias. This clarifies.I have a W4S DAC2 which can handle hi rez.Will try dbPoweramp to convert FLAC downloads to ALAC and then try and play from computer to DAC and see if anything explodes -- or if any sound comes out.Best,Neal | |
| Simple & Effective Conversion Software Thanks for the clarification, Tobias. I am reasonably computer literate but not so much on music and codecs, etc. I thought iTunes could accommodate hi res downloads if they were in ALAC format? Or is that true, but an iPod cannot take them?Now yo... | |
| Simple & Effective Conversion Software Thanks for advice, but I do not know whether in converting from FLAC to ALAC I am going to be "resampling the files in software" nor do I know what "changing the envelope" means, although it sounds like that is what I will be doing.I have some dow... |
