| DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport As a side note the reason I bought the PSA SACD transport last year was to play my large collection of SACD's. Note that a SACD is only DSD64. In many cases a redbook sounds better played through the PSA transport. FYI | |
| DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport I have the PSA SACD Transport connected to my Denafrips TP via I2S input and it works great for both SACD & Red Book. Listening right now. You must adjust the DAC pin settings. Alvin at Vinshine Audio has instructions. Highly recommended. | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? @oddiofyl You got me thinking about which is most important....TT, arm, cart, or phono pre. My guess is cart and pre. I know both of those upgrades in my system produced solid results. | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? @missioncoonery Don't know how much you watched but he had a top model MSB DAC & Streamer. It tells me it's "in the" media. I had an Esoteric K-01 for many years. A nice player but was easily beat by my TP. I now own a PS Audio PerfectWav... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? For what it's worth I just came across the Jay's Audio Lab video "Vinyl Vs Digital: Which Is THE BEST?" Worth a watch. It mirrors my conclusions exactly and compares the high-end of both formats coming to the same conclusion I have. | |
| Qobuz + Lumin = Headache Sense is a great app that will only get better. | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? AR-2ax, how cool. I bought a pair of those new in HS. Then moved up to the AR-3a. Best speaker of the day. I drove them with a Dynaco Pre & Power that I built. It was a killer system. | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? I think that one thing we can all agree vinyl is a major hassle. Sone (not me) may enjoy the work. And then there's 45RPM.......... Ugh. But when the needle drops on my copy of Classic Records 45RPM series of Time Our I'm transported to anoth... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? You're right about cost difference. I recently upgraded my entire vinyl setup along with the digital. Spent 3 times as much on vinyl. Found the greatest improvement with the DAC. It might be that a DCS based digital system, for example, could t... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? As I said I have a Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter that isolates EMI/RF interference optically. Don't know if the Muon product would help? But thanks for suggestion. . | |
| Worthwhile to upgrade from Roon nucleus to innuos zenith mk3 I have run Roon on my Zenith Mk3 with absolutely no problems (no DSP). That said I prefer the Sense App's SQ and it is very intuitive to use. | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? I use my Mac mini as a Roon core to drive other systems in the house. I do love Roon but unfortunately Sense sounds better with Innuos products. I also agree it's fun to run both types of media. It just amazes me that vinyl can sound so good ... | |
| Denafrips Terminator II and Gaia DDC I believe the TT2 has the better clock. Try reversing the interconnects. Also make sure you turn on clock on both units. This is a setting change described in user manual. | |
| Do I need a streamer? I recently added an Innuos Zenith and USB reclocker to replace my Mac Mini. My DAC is a Terminator Plus. The delta on SQ improvement was small. It did add other features that I do like as the OS is simplified. The biggest improvement I got was ... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I prefer NOS as it results in a more Detail sound in my system. I have tried both OS modes. |
