| Kubala sosna new Elation cables No, not at all... I figured it was a compliment too, especially since you were willing to buy yesterdays news for yourself.Hey, Reprince thank you so much for giving us your first impressions. So far it sounds pretty good, I can't wait to hear mor... | |
| Stereovox XV2 vs Zu Audio Ash MK II I have no experience with the Stereovox, but hopefully some of my findings below will help you:I compared a Kharma Enigma 75 ohm Coax Digital ($3500) to a Kubala-Sosna Emotion 110 ohm AES/EBU ($1600) so some of my findings may be due to the differ... | |
| CD transport vs streamer? To clarify my previous post above:The Logitech Transporter, was used as a streamer only, and it was compared to the MBL 1621A transport, while they were separately feed into an external MBL 1611F DAC. The MBL Transport won the bout marginally, but... | |
| CD transport vs streamer? To answer your direct question Mr_Bill, I didn't feel like unhooking all of the wiring and carrying my MacPro Desktop downstairs to perform the test that you're referring to, because I felt that I wouldn't ever use this large tower Computer in the... | |
| CD transport vs streamer? Bingo! Dinners Ready!That's exactly what I'm talking about.Check out my first posting in this thread which is the 8th listing from the top. Then check out this thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1246278090&openflup&14... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Pre - anybody heard a mod? I have an upgraded Zu Audio Bok power cable on my Benchmark, and it basically lowers the noise floor, and provides for a clearer, cleaner presentation which is really cool, so the notes sound like they are more isolated projecting out of a darker ... | |
| CDP / DAC Advice required You speak very well, don't worry about it.Certainly, I don't think you missed anything. If you and you're friend had the same observations, than either the Apogee is phenomenally better than I thought, or the Bel Canto DAC3 wasn't warmed up proper... | |
| CD transport vs streamer? Jglim Quote:"Has anyone here tried sticking an Apple Mac using the optical miniplug output straight into the DAC? Wondering if this more direct connection would outperform streaming."Yes, I have the optical output on the MacPro plugged directly in... | |
| CD transport vs streamer? Thanks for the explanation!Rich | |
| CD transport vs streamer? Thanks for the link.WAV and FLAC list similar transcoding statements as ALAC does, so I don't think it's an issue. Technically all of these Codec's have to be transcoded. I have heard that larger lossless files that are streamed wirelessly can fur... | |
| Kubala sosna new Elation cables Thanks Reprince!Oh, one more thing Wadav, even though the Emotion Cables are on the warm side of neutral, they do not sacrifice anything in the detail or resolution department.Rich | |
| CD transport vs streamer? Hi Mlsstl,I'm not sure what you mean by Apple Lossless is not a native format to the Squeezebox. Logitech lists it as a supported format in their spec sheet, right along with FLAC, and WMA Lossless.For what it's worth I'm getting phenomenal sound ... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Pre - anybody heard a mod? The RCA outputs on the Benchmark are fine. I'm not familiar with Audio Space, but don't go by that, I do like the CAT a lot though.I'm not sure of your budget, however, I would also like to add; VTL 5.5, Atma-Sphere MP-3, Joule Electra LA150, Aest... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Pre - anybody heard a mod? Hey Beatster,Say hello to Singapore!Let's look at your entire system: ATI Amp; sort of a home theater heritage and on the clinical sideBenchmark; also on the clinical side, it already excels in resolution and imaging, I can't see it turning into a... | |
| VTL amps warm up time I would say one CD, or approx. 45min. |
