| Parks Audio Puffin Hello, have any Puffin owners compared it to Lounge Audio LCR III? Does it really play in that league? | |
| Best fuses for under $50? Sorry, please move to "Misc Audio". I saw other questions on fuses here in tech talk, that's why I thought this was the right forum. Any mods out there? | |
| What are the more subtle sounding tube preamps? Yeah, I think less "lushness" or "bloom" is what I'm looking for. Somewhere b/t tube and SS I guess. | |
| Question for GEM Dandy Polytable owners... Thanks, yogiboy. I was able to find that issue. Only problems Fremer had with the Polytable was a slight lack in bass extension, and the fact that it runs slightly fast. And that was without the GEM power supply which sounds like a must have. | |
| Question for GEM Dandy Polytable owners... Yup, very curious how the new Super 12 holds up with a WT Amadeus MKII or RP8, etc. Sadly, I doubt anyone having experience with higher priced tables now has GEM Dandy. We shall see. | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? Bombaywalla, your explanations have been super helpful for me. You literally have to spend hours on the internet digging for this kind of quality info. One last question based on your last response:Is an upsampled 16/44.1 file just as good as as "... | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? Actually, some modern DAC's suck and some don't. As engineers say it's all about implementation. | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? Sorry, my last post was directed at Bombaywalla. | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? Okay, that makes complete sense now. Thanks!So even with a NOS DAC I assume there is still benefit of using hi-res files? Why would somebody want to up-sample redbook in their software (foobar, JRMC, Amarra, etc.)? I haven't tried this in a few ye... | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? Simple question: all R2R NOS DAC's are redbook only, correct? | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? Bombaywalla, I think the confusion was....when I mentioned "aliasing", I actually meant the "pre-ringing" associated with steeper filter slopes from lower sampling rates (ie. 44.1khz). I thought this was same thing. I have heard hi-res tracks from... | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? Hi, I was looking for a technical explanation rather subjective opinions. Bombaywalla was the only one to do this. Guess I wasn't clear enough. Thank you, Bombaywalla. | |
| burr-brown vs. sabre vs. ? I have heard that Lynx HILO makes a very good Hifi Dac as well as ADC. If I were you I would splurge for one of these used. I have no idea what brand(s) of chip it uses, but as others have said it's not the brand of chip that is of primary importa... | |
| Pink Floyd LPs I believe Raymonda has it correct. | |
| burr-brown vs. sabre vs. ? Could you guys give some examples of NOS R2R DACS. Who makes the chip or is it a proprietary non-chip design (like Metrum or Chord, I guess). Which DAC manufacturers implement R2R? |
