| Sonos Products Cullen told me that the I2S mod is less expensive than their other Sonos mod, because it doesn't require the new clock and power supply. | |
| Sonos Products Mraza, since we're spending your money, I would get a DAC with adjustable gain that will drive an amp directly. The Wyred4Sound and PWD would both work. I personally chose the W4S. | |
| What's more important, watts or capacitance? Thanks everybody for your helpful answers. My current amp is the Bryston 14B-SST2, which i use with the BAT VK42SE pre. I'm considering either the ARC HD220 or the BAT VK-600. My speakers are a custom design by Selah Audio. They're called the Visi... | |
| integrated amplifier with phono and usb My guess is that buyers of older cd players are using them as transports only and sending a digital output to an external dac. | |
| integrated amplifier with phono and usb I owned the A1008. The blue lights don't blink once it's powered up, and they're almost invisible unless you're in the dark. The power output is substantial. I doubt it would have any trouble driving your speakers. I agree with Br9038. The onboard... | |
| Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge I hope the fans of the dac and bridge can help me understand something. I've followed the progress of the Bridge on PSAs site for a long time. It seems to me that most users are pretty pleased with the sound, but a lot of them are unhappy with the... | |
| Why do the new 2009 Beatles CDs sound so good? Band on the Run was just released in remastered high resolution (24/96) format. It's available for $19.99 on Sir Paul's web site. There's also an interesting discussion about digital mastering that results in loud versus soft volume. | |
| Sonos Products Bobf1717, I have the Dac2 and the Sonos ZP80. I also have a Mac Mini that I use as a server via USB to the W4S. Sonically, the Asynchronous USB of the Mini is superior to the Sonos, but the Sonos user interface is much, much better. Cullen offers ... | |
| Wyred DAC-2 vs. PS Audio PWave I used the USB out of the Mac and directly into the DAC2. The sound of the USB was somewhat better than the Sonos, but the difference wasn't huge. Maybe it has to do with the way the ESS chip copes with jitter, which is the Sonos' weak point. In a... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply Where would one find plans to build this psu and a parts list? I'm intrigued by this idea. Thanks Mintzar. | |
| Wyred DAC-2 vs. PS Audio PWave I have been using a Sonos via coax into my Dac2. But I also tested the waters with a Mac via the asynchronous USB. What's really exiting, though, is to use the the memory player feature in Pure Music with USB out. I'm trying to build a system that... | |
| Wyred DACS Not as far as I'm concerned. It surpasses my PWD in terms of microdynamics and soundstage and it's not yet fully broken in. | |
| Wyred DAC-2 vs. PS Audio PWave I have both of these DACs. I just bought W4S and it has about 100 hours on it. So it's not fully broken in. Compared to the PSA, I notice a deeper sound stage and maybe slightly better microdynamics and tighter base. My listening so far has been t... | |
| PS Audio PWD + Bridge - ripping? This question is, I believe, addressed on PSA's discussion forum. My understanding is that the bridge will not accept direct input from a storage device via USB. | |
| PS Audio PWD. who's in line to cross the bridge?? I went ahead and placed my order last night. My dealer backed off on the up-front payment in full requirement. I ended up paying a 50% deposit. He gave no assurances about delivery time. |
