DVD Audio Connections
Has anyone heard about mod's that allow the use of outboard DAC's from different brands? There's a lot ad's for creating "region free" dvd players. How hard could it be to modify a DVD player with digital outputs to allow hi-rez signals to pass as... 
DVD-A player that'll output 24/96 digital signal
Yeah.But.the.reason.they.code.it.in.the.first.place.is.to.prevent.Hi-Re.copying.in.96kHz.orhigher. 
DVD-A player that'll output 24/96 digital signal
Also, it has ocurred to me that making a copy of a DVD-A while deleting the coding in quesion might solve the problem. Thanks. 
DVD-A player that'll output 24/96 digital signal
Is there a way to circumvent the 24/96 coding block on current DVD-A players? Are they're any talented hackers out there who can acheive this seemingly simmple task? Could it be done by replacing or rewording the code that instructs DVD-A disk out... 
Technics A10 DVD digital output options
Yeah, I've dealt with Parasound once to ask them a question about my A21. I was just interested in knowing the differences between it and the JC1's because I wanted to know if it were possible to modify the amp with JC1 parts. His manner was like ... 
Technics A10 DVD digital output options
Viggen, You say this "steely" sound of the A10 lasts for days after it's removed from the system. I don't understand. You refer to a PSU problem. What's that? 
Mating Tube pre's with SS amps
I don't know what exactly but I've always wanted to demo a sonic frontier the Sonic Frontiers 3. Maybe it's their DIY past. PeterB, are there any major sonic criticism you have with the unit? Fact is, I couldn't really demo one without buying it m... 
Mating Tube pre's with SS amps
Warner, I've only owned a tubed unit once so they're still new to me. When people refer to microphonics do they mean a sort of feedback distortion caused by loud music (sound waves) affecting the tube? Kind of how loudspeaker sound gets into a mik... 
DIY Wilson Clone Speakers?
OK I thought you meant designing your own crossovers would be easy. But know this. Your interest in this particular speaker tells me your are an audiophile of taste who expects a certain level of performance. Different production runs of different... 
DIY Wilson Clone Speakers?
Eldragon, You thought the crossover was easy? Are you sure you did it right, doing you own T-S parameter measurements for the drivers, and measurements for all the drivers, then again as a system, taking those initail measurements and using a CAD ... 
Mating Tube pre's with SS amps
Looks like I'm on to something here with all the positive feedback. Impedance problems should be avoided with a thorough demo in my system once I narrow down the competition. A new(used to me) Levinson 334 should be arriving in a week. Got a good ... 
Technics A10 DVD digital output options
Sogood,This player and most disk players have digital outputs so you can use an outboard DAC. The DAC's used in a lot of players are less than optimal sonically, especially in mass market units like the Technics. Fortunately the digital output opt... 
Published gain of the Pass X2.5, X1
Hey, sounds like you own a Pass, am I wrong? If so, can you recommend it. I'm thinking of going tube instead, an Audio Reseach. I'm trying to achieve the best of both worlds by mating it with a SS amp. 
Published gain of the Pass X2.5, X1
Thanks Bhouser, Now it makes sense. 
Pass Labs X1 vs. X2.5
Zen, hope your still out there. If a power cord would bring the X2.5 closer to the X1, what about a PS audio ac regenerator/conditioner? If the only sonic differences between the two relate to noise wouldn't removing noise level the playing field....
