| Rega P9 vs Musical Fidelity M1 The P9 is a very good table and one of the last components I would care to part with. The cartridge and phono stage may be a better upgrade for the money spent. | |
| B&W 802 N with Wyred4sound 1000 STI I'm also using 802D's with W4S amps. I have the multi amp chassis and have the 802D's bi-amped, with a 250W amp for the highs and a 500W amp for the bottom end. They built 250W amps with a high pass filter to keep the mids and highs clean.The 802D... | |
| W4S DAC2 vs Bryston BDA1 thru coax? On the shootout that I attended, there were several different transports but everything was CD quality. Too long ago to remember the brands.On my system, we used a Denon transport and a Sonos ZP90 both with CD quality files (16/44). The transport ... | |
| W4S DAC2 vs Bryston BDA1 thru coax? Both are very good DAC's at their price points. I have heard them both, head to head on two different occasions, once in my system with 2 friends listening and once at a DAC shootout with a group of listeners. The Bryston came out ahead on both oc... | |
| How To Route Streaming Music From iPad 2 to DAC? You can also use a Toslink to AES/EBU converter. It will do 24/96 and the AES/EBU input on the Bryston DAC is very desirable. Take a look at the Hosa ODL312 on the sweetwater.com site. | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's OK, I also own the B&W 802d's and the three most important points to getting the best from them are: 1. The amp, 2. The amp, and 3. The amp. | |
| Quiet hard drive As was mentioned earlier, the Cavier Green drives are very quiet and also very cool (low power usage). They are slower than the regular drives. The solid state drives work very well especially as bootable drives. My system comes up 3-4 times faste... | |
| Favorite High-Resolution Tube DAC? I also enjoy the sound through tubes and if you are driving your amps directly from the DAC, then a tube DAC may be essential. However if the DAC is feeding a tube pre-amp you may find a SS DAC to be just what you want. I have a Bryston DAC (AES) ... | |
| Escient Fireball If you have an existing computer on a WiFi (Only to store music files... nothing to build), take a look at the Sonos products. Easy to use for your music files and Internet radio.Also, if your Fireball was the victim of a power surge, most homeown... | |
| Digitalmeisters - Thoughts on Olive..... Fvl, certainly, you are correct in that there have never been more interfaces to choose from and it's a very personal decision. You will also find many people who like and hate the same interface so it has become almost as important a decision as ... | |
| Digitalmeisters - Thoughts on Olive..... If you just want to get started, and give things a try, a Sonos or something similar is not a bad place to start. You can get your CD's ripped to good quality digital files and enjoy them as well as Internet radio. The software interface is very g... | |
| S.O.S. on Windows 7 Media Player 12 WOW! So much negative vibes over a hobby. Calm down and don't jump just yet. Go back over your post the past few months and reread some of the good advise you received from many experienced Agon members, and sort out your concerns.For one, I don't... | |
| experience with Bryston BDA-1 ? Davide256... you are exactly correct on your analysis if he was using the normal SPDIF output of a computer. That generally comes right off the motherboard and you are correct that it has crazy levels of jitter. But then again what can we expect. ... | |
| experience with Bryston BDA-1 ? Also, have had a better experience with Media Center player software. Are you using a dedicate "music only" computer? With the Lynx card and Bryston it should sound as good as a $5-10K CDP. Something is definitely wrong!Paul | |
| experience with Bryston BDA-1 ? On the front panel there is an "Up Sample" button. Try it both ways... I like the sound better with the Up Sample Off.Paul |
