| Amir and Blind Testing Why should the legitimacy of methods used for the purpose that they are intended depend on where you sit? Fixed. "depending on where you sit in obj vs sub viewpoint, some interesting reads for another viewpoint", another Link Actually, it was ... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing That site is more a marketing place for topping and others and not much to do with audio. As with any forum there are some good, intelligent, level headed individuals, but ultimately its all about the extreme side of the measurement police and his... | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 This (can be) a pretty involved topic in so far as understanding the two different formats and especially upsampling in the correct context, since it (upsampling to DSD) is actually fixing / addressing inherent distortion "Most" DAC’s that use ch... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer It isn't a requirement to love Mac, or ANY brand / product. Why people get soooo bent out of shape when the gear they own isn't praised by someone else. Who the hell cares? Certainly, stating obvious incorrect facts or just being a plain troll/... | |
| About users with hidden agendas @jetter has been pretty spot on about the individual. There is not much he offers other than charged words and mainly just negativity. Not healthy and I stay away from it. It’s pretty easy to spot the intelligent individuals because they know how... | |
| Beautiful listening rooms It's all relative. You either like the shared space living room / gen purpose room or a dedicated space. The latter is my preference hands down. Some of the the examples in the link are really nice others not so much. References to "disturbi... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? This forum could benefit from an ignore button. If nothing else, it would give those who cannot keep from feeding the self-inflated profiles an option and are unable to just keep scrolling. Its really very simple. The one way streets never chan... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired I know there was volume difference between pcm and dsd and or in general and had to do with the volume setting was not set to 100% at the computer or endpoint. E.g. you had to go into the Win volume/control panel and set to 100% or in Linux there... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? The TESLA 3 with Dual Motor's, which is about $55,000 does a 0-60 in about 3.1 seconds, which is better than almost every Ferrari ever made except the most recent 488 at > $250,000 and some previous ultra expensive models. Electric vs pet... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range waste of time without giving so much as a single reason why such calculations are useful. No one is arguing and qualified it with Of course this gets one in the ballpark and will require experimenting No one is claiming a calculation is the... | |
| Nobsound springs - load range I always get cautious when hearing such dogmatic statements. I would rather consider starting in the dark and doing erratic trial and error on all possible permutations of changes to different variables of a system a waste of time. I prefer to h... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC OK, I don't know enough about mac settings, hopefully someone will be able to chime in. What software/audio program are you using to play files? | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @yakbob I'm not sure what you mean by "however is forced by the May at 32-bit" If you are using the upsampling in the May (that could be forcing it) otherwise nothing in the May is forcing the bit rate (to my knowledge), definitely turn that of... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @yakbob There are some having this issue using JCAT usb boards at high sampling rates, looks to be something with the chip used on those JACT boards. Appears to have been addressed via firmware from holo. Also I "think" there was mention about t... | |
| Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging... One of the biggest mistakes, IMHO, made with spkr placement is many people instinctually place them way too far apart. Thinking it will present a large stage, image etc.. This will usually have the opposite effect and will damage the overall SQ.... |
