| Native FLAC Player If you are willing to shell out a little more, the new PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC with network bridge will do every PCM format and resolution. DAC is $2999 with the network bridge adding about $500 (available in the late fall).As an added bonus, yo... | |
| battery powered with 'vivid' sound Cdc, the power inverter is the same philosophy of the PS Audio Power Plant line - buffer DC power to regenerate AC. But the problem of AC transmission and DC conversion in the component remains - this is the weak point I'm trying to eliminate.I ha... | |
| battery powered with 'vivid' sound Power conditioning technology is mostly a band aid for something that is - in my opinion - the single biggest problem in hi-fi. Much like up-sampling and re-sampling, if the source (in this case, power) is garbage, you can only do so much to clean... | |
| battery powered with 'vivid' sound Seems like its pretty much Dodd or Red Wine unless I want to shell out the big bucks for ASR or Veloce.It just seems that there should be more companies using battery power for all the problems it solves. | |
| battery powered with 'vivid' sound Glory, I'm curious about your upgrade - was it the 70.2 that did it or the Isabella pre? What about the sound changed for you? My sense with the 30.2 integrated is that what I'm missing is not the muscle but the bloom and sweetness of tubes. | |
| battery powered with 'vivid' sound Veloce looks nice, but well out of my price range at the moment. | |
| dac with sonos You are correct - the Sonos has a DAC, but it's not audiophile quality. The things people add in between that and the outboard DAC are re-clockers, upgraded connection posts, and upgraded power (you can even have a battery pack rigged to remove th... | |
| dac with sonos Mikewdc - that harsh sound, often referred to as "hash" is indeed jitter. It's often difficult to pinpoint exactly what is going on or what will fix it, but we all know that it just doesn't sound "right." The human ear is an amazing thing that can... | |
| has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo The buffer in the PW Transport and PWD Bridger is a RAM chip very similar to computer memory. Also, they haven't decided if the Bridge will be wireless or not yet (I think it might have been another thread someone asked about that). They are consi... | |
| How good of a DAC is the Logitech Transporter When I tried it, the characteristics of the DAC in the Transport fell on the refined side with good detail. While I think it performed quite well, I prefer a more vivid sound and went with a modified PS Audio since almost all my digital collection... | |
| has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo I agree that the literature is poorly written and doesn't explain it well. I actually spent a good 30 minutes in the PS Audio room at the RMAF last fall chatting with Paul and others about the technology and I think I understand it pretty well. A ... | |
| has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo Al and Mapman,What the Perfect Wave Disc player does is read data off the disk like a computer - not a CD player. That is, will re-read sectors if there is an error until it gets it right rather than a one-pass stream that a CD player does. It ess... | |
| after market battery power for DAC Mariusz, I want the integrated file based playback to avoid having to have a separate source/transport device. The PS Audio gear gets me the sound I like with plus the capability of high res, and it does it all without ever taking the data out of ... | |
| after market battery power for DAC Talked to both Vinnie at Red Wine and Kyle at Reference Mods. Vinnie isn't going to do one due to the complexity of the different voltages in the unit. Kyle is going to give it a shot, but warns it might be pricey. This is looking more complicated... | |
| Ripping 700 CD's to HD using FLAC-How much space? FLAC compression is like a "zip" file on a computer - it is a lossless way of storing data with mathematical formulas instead of the raw data of the wave form. This is different from .mp3 compression that actually eliminates data points and relies... |
