| Help with TT choice DPS tables work well with the Naim Aro...Here is a nice picture of a DPS with ARO:DPS with Naim ARO reviewIf you are lucky you may find a version 1 or 2 for around 4k used. | |
| 2-ways that are close to 3-ways 12 Watt would be enough for the Devore Super 9s which have a nice impedance curve for tube amps and a really small footprint. | |

| Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design Having heard the John Wright Museatex Bitstream and Bidat my guess is that you may like the Weiss DAC2 or Minerva. While I heard them in my system at different times, both had a similar feel to the presentation, very clean, dynamic with excellent ... | |
| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping Probably no theoretical advantage in converting Lossless to AIFF, as the source material done first in AIFF would be a larger file (more "information", audible or not).If the missing data made a difference I could hear (an improvement), I'd consid... | |
| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping Rabco, you can simple convert the Lossless back to AIFF without loss (no need to re-rip your collection). You could try re-ripping a few and try a checksum on the file and it should be identical.Most of the differences (if at all) between AIFF and... | |
| Zu Essence vs Devore Nine vs Maggies I have heard all three speakers at length and these go in very different directions sonically. I know I could only live with one in the long term, one for a short flirt and one not at all.Some of this depends on taste, some on listening habits, so... | |
| CD for Shindo System? None...? | |
| digital front end to rival best vinyl? I think digital is certainly getting closer than it used to.To be honest, with the current state of digital in my system (Weiss DAC2+Mac Mini), I would never get into analog from scratch at this point. I would even prefer the Weiss to all all my p... | |

| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB After I get the DAC, I'll compare at 24/96: 1) Lynx soundcard with an AES cable, 2) USB into my Empirical Audio Turbo USB-to-AES converter, and 3) USB straight into the DAC. Should be interesting... Also, looking forward to trying 24/192, which wa... | |
| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB Therefore, I presume that if it receives a 24/192 digital bitstream, it will decode it in native mode as there's nothing to upsample.Not all DACs can receive a 24/192 stream even though they upsample. In particular 24/192is only possibly via USB i... | |
| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB Bindjim - here is some nice info on USB and the driver requirements in plain terms:24/192 high rez via USB - Drivers, EMU0404, etc.The biggest problem with USB right now is really the mediocre and after-though implementations of many current DACs ... | |
| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB AS much as I respect efforts from Wavlenth, Imperical Audio, Bel Canto, Lavry, etc using a standard (gosh) high end DAC being fed by a good to very good sound card via AES, BNC, or coax sure has its benefits. Not to mention the abilities to proc... | |
| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB Marco (Jax2), the TAS article has indeed been controversial, and Gordon did answer why he withdrew his DACs from the review (questioning the competency of the reviewer). See the following threads for some more information:Audioasylum: Did I miss t... |
