| Advices on 10 mhz Clocks @baylinor I played vinyl many years ago before cds came out . A couple of years ago, I upgraded my vinyl playback system. It's nice and sounds really good, but not better than digital. It's a modest setup by high end standards. If you stream ... | |
| Advices on 10 mhz Clocks @baylinor I had read that the square wave output made some gear sound too bright. In my system, everything sounds more real. Piano, drums, bass guitar, etc. No brightness, sibilance, etc. | |
| Advices on 10 mhz Clocks We talked about my experience with the LHY ock-2 on another post. As mentioned, I noticed a slight improvement when using the ock-2 with my U18 ddc. I don't notice much difference using it with my Gustard X30 dac. The game changing moment came w... | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster Are you a hunter? A bear skin rug might be just what you need. :) | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Envy of None - Stygian Wavz. Features Alex Lifeson of Rush, but it's not hard rock like Rush. Very chill... | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster I would get a large rug for the floor and try the speakers on the long wall. I once lived in a rental house while we were looking for something permanent. The living room was small and rectangular. I put the speakers on the short wall and it ... | |
| Gustard X30 I would call it a dac with a renderer. I've used mine with Audivarna and it sounded great. I also tried Roon and I was less impressed. I ended up buying an Innuos streamer, so I'm using it solely as a dac. Sound quality with Audivarna was ve... | |
| How do I connect my speaker cables to this Coda Amp I couldn't figure out why I didn't recall having this issue. My #8 is less than 2 years old. It has really nice terminals, but no plastic covering like I see in the current photos of the amp. I don't recall removing them. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 Yes, 50 ohms. I had read that sine wave was recommended, so I hadn't tried square wave. After you mentioned it, I did some internet searching and found forum posts where people found that the square wave yielded additional detail. Som... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 Maybe my hearing is just better early in the day, but changing to square wave connections to both the ddc and dac is sounding really good. A hair more clarity and better separation of instruments and harmonized vocals. Bass notes seem ... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 I have a LHY OCK-2. I'll try that some time. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... OK. I read your question again. You were asking about the clock into the ddc. I was commenting on the clock into the dac. I hadn't really tried switching between the external and internal clocks on the ddc. So, I tried that tonight. I do think ... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... Yes, I have. To be honest, I don't hear any difference, but my dac has a pretty good clock built in. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 So, I decided to try the direct USB connection between my streamer and dac eliminating the DDC. It still sounds really good, but I do notice a little bit less detail and clarity. Like you said, that could be the DDC, or it could be tha... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... I’m using a Gustard U18 DDC between my Innuos streamer and dac. It converts USB to I2S. I checked with Gustard and Innuos about using the U18 or skipping it and going USB directly from the streamer to my dac. Both Gustard and Innuos recommended... |
