| WAV vs. FLAC vs. AIFF Al:Thanks for the clarification. I've read the same elsewhere and it seems to all boil down to the competition for power and the sound card that goes on inside of a computer. It is not optimized for music playback as currently set up. That's proba... | |
| can this fact be accurate? That number seems to be a mite bit low, say by a factor of 10 or so, worldwide, IMHO. I believe it all depends on how the question is defined and what the folks asked perceive to be an 'audiophile'. Way too many variables to consider.My friends an... | |
| Rega DAC vs. EE Minimax vs. Centrance vs. W4S 2 Rob,Thanks for the 'clarity' in your response. I, too, had some brightness that vanished after break in but I forget just how long it took (maybe 200 hours or so). As for the Oppo's might being the weak link, I think you may be onto something ther... | |
| Rega DAC vs. EE Minimax vs. Centrance vs. W4S 2 Thanks for your review and I agree with your findings on the Centrance except for the glare you heard with it. Might it be something else in the equation? I only ask because I've experienced none in my system. Clarity is its strong suit but the ba... | |
| Christmas Music and Audiophiles? I like "Stille Nacht" from the Cantate Domino. Always gets to me. | |
| No such thing as a future proof DAC... "Future Proof" is simply marketing. As others have already pointed out, simply being able to replace a board doesn't mean there's going to be one made to do it.And yes, there are big differences in DACs, age being a consideration, along with imple... | |
| Mac Mini vs. Macbook Pro as a server Yeah, I know. It's what prompted me to do a simple experiment and try what I thought was the best thought out DAC for the money just to see how much an improvement I'd get running it from my iMac to my main stereo and my jaw dropped, again, and it... | |
| Mac Mini vs. Macbook Pro as a server I know it is an optimized windows based computer and yes, I am relying on the folk who go before me as they have the expertise and from the various sites I've looked at there seems to be a general consensus about what I averred to, to the best of ... | |
| itunes uploading problem If the original artist is different, track by track, or there is something that would differentiate it, the track will separate itself. The only way is to go into the info breakdown window (try typing 'command and 'i' at the same time or simply us... | |
| Mac Mini vs. Macbook Pro as a server This is a bit off subject but I just want to say THANK YOU to Thehouseofsound for your opinion and experience and your conclusions. I've only been into computer audio for a short time and it always made sense to go the music server route. Computer... | |
| DAC upgrade Take a look at the Centrance DACmini. | |
| How to clean the exterior of an amp? Try some GooGone from Loew's or some other hardware store. It's citrus based and is great for all kinds of metal surfaces. | |
| Best Audio Store Name? Rslspeakers:I believe it was your personal pair of Magnapan Tympani speakers that I bought. It was during a sale and they were laying against a wall at the back of the shop. I paid about $600 for them and loved them for years until one of the pane... | |
| Greeding to all DAC users Mezmo is right. You won't get a real improvement with an older, less expensive DAC at your price point. You'd have to spend more to get more but it can be done. Case in point: I was at a showroom this past weekend and also in attendance was a well... | |
| Can I upgrade my IC cable for $100? You might try to snag a pair of Zu Mission ICs on ebay. I got two different pairs for a bit above your $100 limit (each). |
