| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Dbarger, thanks for your feedback. I also upgraded the power supply on the touch. | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Lewinski, I was a little disappointed with both DACs by comparing them to the original cd using the Oppo 95. I was expecting them to sound better than the original cd. I found the Oppo less grainy and a little more detailed. I did the comparisons ... | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Dbarger, Have you compared the optical vs the coax? Also do you use the stock power cord or an after market cord? | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Jult52, based on your response, the Octave is very sensitive to jitter and a reclocker was necessary in your case. I guess my question was whether a reclocker is necessary since I'm using the squeezebox touch. I previously used the W4S DAC 1 and t... | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Jult52, thanks for your response. Concerning reclocking, is this a variable with either input? | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC I plan to purchase the octave with use with the squeezebox and I'm wondering if anyone compared the sound quality using coax cable vs optical cable. Also does either cable require a re-clocker or is that just for USB connections?Thanks, Ron | |
| Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch Vic,I appreciate your response especially your advise not to go overboard. Digital is not my main source but I would like to hear music smooth and full and not too digital. From what I read the Rega and Burson might fit the bill for under $1k. I'l... | |
| Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch Bondmanp, as you stated,it would be a difficult choice without a return option. I'll consider it but I need to do more research. | |
| Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch Well I'm back again looking for a DAC in the $1000 range. I tried the W4S DAC 1 and wasn't totally impressed. It was connected to the dac using a Black Cat coax cable. It was a bit dry and grainy in my system when compared to playing a cd thru the... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Due to an unexpected home repair this past weekend I was able to place the purchased of the SSP-600 on hold. In the mean time I wondering if anyone has played digital files thru the 600 and how it sounds in 2 channel. | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Malon, I also believe in synergy among components and with cables but the problem is trial and error. It gets quite expensive buying and selling components and hoping it will sound best in your system. I happen to like the sound of the Sim I-7 and... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Mike, sounds good to me | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Mike, even though you heard the Classe thru B&W speakers, how would consider the sound? The Sim has great bass, the mids and highs are smooth. There is a review on the CA5100 in HTM and it basically states the same qualities, but it's hard to ... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro I made an offer for the SSP-600 and it was accepted. I'm thinking of purchasing a 5 channel Classe amp to match and sell the Sim I-7 and the Outlaw 7500. The reviews for Classe amps were all good but I'm not so sure how they compare to the Sim amp... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Mike, I'm leaning towards the Classe and probably make a decision shortly. As I mentioned, I plan to use the Classe dacs for the SB Touch so I just listed the W4S DAC 1 for sale and I'll use the funds towards the pre-pro. I also plan to sell the O... |
