| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Yes Geoff. If the fuse is audibly affecting the sound then you have a terribly designed power supply on your 100K or million $ amplifier. You make everything sound like rocket science when a power supply is such a simple part of the audio chain. T... | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics A heavy rug on the floor would work wonders | |
| Are Avalon still in Bussines It uses Accuton C220-T6 - you can order new woofers from accuton or look for resellers on the web. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses No need for a fuse forum. What is badly needed is a waste recycling cooperative for all the crappy unreliable finicky electronics that sound different with every fuse replacement. Either that or a technician needs to recognize the opportunity to p... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? I think it boils down to speakers. The Benchmark DAC sounds perfect on neutral accurate speakers. Lots of really rich harmonic detail far more than other syrupy gear that tends just to sound like warm mush and where masking from all that warmth hi... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... Thanks for the clarification. | |
| Delta Sigma DACs No DAC is perfect. All modern Delta Sigma DACs are actually bit perfect in operation however the noise floor (or resolution) on the very best is about 21 bits. So nothing does 24 bit even remotely perfectly so far. Most good quality delta sigma wi... | |
| To Roon or not to Roon Do you need to distribute to different Zones and systems around your LAN. If yes then there will be a benefit. Sound quality will not benefit if you have good gear currently. | |
| I'm in Tidal now. Good choice! Like all sources of music it depends mostly on the masters - always a mixed bag. The deluxe edition of Led Zeppelin on Tidal is excellent. | |
| What Do You Think About This Comment? I agree with passive speaker designs - speaker can performance can be all over the map from terrible with the wrong amplifier pairing to excellent with the right match. However active speakers are indeed optimized in a holistic sense. Manufacturer... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Broadly speaking Dave is absolutely right. Some people like the real thing and getting as close as possible to that - true high fidelity.Others don’t care so much about accuracy - they want their system to enhance the sound with musicality (musica... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... 7 inch mid range will beam above 1Khz. A 0.75 inch tweeter is not much use below about 4 KHz. So you get a hole in the mid range where the mid range beams and before the tweeter kicks in. | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @ghasley Sorry to burst your bubble but a 7inch mid range crossed over to a 0.75 inch tweeter means a big hole in the mid range. The Devore Gibbon Nines will sound pleasant even when pushed because of the recessed mid range. This anything but high... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @ghasley Interesting but the set up is colored to begin with (no 7 inch woofer can do mid range properly) so I think the conclusion was simply what worked with the gear used. If anything the Denafrips might be more accurate since they heard exactl... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @alvin1118 Thanks for clarification. Since 0.005% tolerance on the resistor is only enough to achieve 14 to 15 bits resolution are you randomizing the selection of the resistor network used every clock cycle in order to achieve higher bit resoluti... |
