| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable While we’re at it, here’s another good reference Digital to Analog Conversion https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/digital-to-analog-conversion "After DAC, the analog signal is sent to the anti-image analog filter, which is a lowpas... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable Oh, and as for my personal listening, I stream Amazon UHD because Prime and Qobuz because it's probably overall the best. My DAC uses the AK4490 DAC chip set to an unstressed 24-bit / 192 kHz (or DSD 5.6 MHz) in deference to the extra noise likel... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable @thyname "And please enlighten me, where else in cables we should look for a difference maker?" You shouldn't be looking at cables at all, you should be looking at Codecs, more specifically how a given codec has been implemented, and the containe... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable @thyname "Yes. Just like interconnects, speaker, and power cables can make a big difference. Rather than being a digital cable denier I’d suggest you try a better digital cable and use your ears rather than theory to make any conclusions. BTW, ... | |

| One dedicated circuit for each mono block? You are managing 3 issues here: 1) Adequate voltage and current the handle your requirements. A Dedicated 20Amp circuit will do that if the total drwa is under 1KW per amplifier (12 V X 8A = 960W) 2) Grounding. Typically a single circuit has few... | |
| My Amp is good but probably the weak point You have a great amp. The big improvement will come from speakers. Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G. It will have the presence you're looking for, the dynamics and solid bass to the mid 30s. Sterephile put them in Class A for a reason. I have the 300s ... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable @thyname When you are dealing with Layer 1, the Physical layer where cables dwell, there is no such thing as 'digital audio transmissions'. There are only 0s and 1s represented by 0-300mv for Zero and 3.6-3.8v for Ones. Layer 1 has no mechanism fo... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable @jerryg123 Eexpertise in rocket science? I don't know, you'll have to tell me. I do know I brought my technical experience in analog to my work in digital communications and networking, where it served me well in developing high bandwidth and hi... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable @soix If a cable is useful in mitigating noise, then the issue in the noisy component, not the passive cable. If a cable with a telescoping ground (grounded at the input, but not the output is necessary to minimize hum, then the problem is a groun... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable @thyname I have 50 years experience in audio, professional, home theater and 2-channel., and I am formally trained in architectural acoustics. several of my professional speaker designs have been commercial successes. I also have 40 years experien... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? 40.years ago Monster Cable provided dealers with an A/B cable switch for demonstration of their product with 16 GA lamp cable. At under a10 ft no one could reliably tell them apart. At 20 ft, Monster Cable became noticeably better. One customer br... | |
| Zavfino Majestic USB Cable Great USB audio summary. "Most modern DACs with USB input implement "Isochronous transfer mode with asynchronous feedback". The isochronous transfer mode of USB is the one that guarantees transmission bandwidth but does not support data retrans... | |
| speakers/ amps liking one another Your 13 X 13 room is by far the biggest issue. you will have strong resonant modes (eigentones) in both L-R and F-R at about 87 Hz and multiples: 43.5, 174, 261, 348 Hz, etc. The speed of sound is 1128 ft/sec (sea level) divided by 13 ft = ~87 Hz.... | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? KEF LS-50s - just all wrong in my room. They are a near field monitor for small rooms. In my living room, they just sounded tiny and lost, even with a sub. Replaced them with Monitor Audio Silver 300 7G, and am very happy. The LS-50s will go into ... |
