| Wyred DACS Even a $29.00 digital cable from Signal Cable comes with a choice of BNC or RCA for the same cost. Just did an RCA on one end and BNC on the other, seemed like no big problem. | |
| I have the DAC w/ the USB port, now what? All you really need is good windows player software that's bit perfect. Take a look at Fubar Player... it's good and free. Also, the J River Jukebox... it's free and the J River Media Center... it's very good but costs $50.00. Use the WASAPI drive... | |
| Wyred DACS Cutterfilm... thanks for sharing your experiences with the Wyred DAC2. I'm trying to decide on a DAC upgrade but comparison info is hard to come by. For my system and budget the Wyred DAC2, Bryston or PS Audio PW seem like the best bet. If anyone ... | |
| Best earbuds/earphones Without getting into the good/better/best concept, I'm using the Westone 3 earphones. I've had them about a year and for me at least they sound great and are very comfortable. I walk and or run every day, so I use them 1-2 hours every day with an ... | |
| Bel Canto DAC 2 and Sonos OK, good that you know what to look for. I would think the Bel Canto would be a good DAC. There are a lot of new DAC's out there and that may account for all the activity.Actually in playback there is much more variation in the quality of the musi... | |
| Bel Canto DAC 2 and Sonos First, I don't use a Bel Canto DAC, I use a Benchmark USB version. However I do use it with a ZP-90.The sound quality of the ZP-90 with almost any external DAC will be better than the analog outputs of the ZP-90.If possible use the ZP-90 with "fix... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables Your experience and interest in equipment and recording extends beyond that of the typical musician. It's safe to say that if this were not true, you wouldn't be participating in Audiogon forums.I'm not sure how to deduce what is "typical" and onl... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables Right. Being a musician has no relevance to what turntable one owns, IMO.From what I know about most musicians, particularly professional musicians, they don't usually have expensive stereo systems. They often own modest systems, and they listen f... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables What does that prove? Absolutely nothing.I guess I just liked the sound of my music played back on the Rega table. Other than that... Nothing! | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables If I were a DJ, I would go for the Technics. I'm a musician, so I have a Rega. | |
| Best Dac with USB input for $1,000 or less [Agreed. It is great value. Of course it works best with very neutral equipment - so it only fits with a limited number of setups.] I agree as well... everything works best on a limited number of setups. It's hard to think of a component that is "... | |
| Best Dac with USB input for $1,000 or less The Benchmark does a very good job on USB as well as the SPDIF. You just can't argue with their Jitter reduction. Some years ago some reviewer wrote that it was analytical sounding and so it seems everyone "Parrots" that review. It's system depend... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? I'm not much help on amps... I only play acoustic guitars. Have a few different models, but my favorite is a Martin HD-35. Really great sound! Move over Clapton...Paul | |
| Onkyo886/Integra 9.9 versus Emotiva UMC-1 The Integra 9.9 is a very good home theater processor. The Audyssey setup for the speakers works well, in fact it's the best my 5.1 theater system has ever sounded. It's about my 5th or 6th processor. In most things "Digital", it's a winner.Howeve... | |
| iTunes Windows/Mac interoperability issue John... I'm using a Seagate Black Armor NAS drive for my music file storage (about 40,000 tracks). It works well on the wireless network and several PC's, I don't use MAC's but my iPhone will access it. However it should work with any computer. I ... |
