| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? Why would you NOT want to hear it, one can have resolution, transparency and music, not a zero sum game. | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? So instead of calling internal clock in dac I2S clock, it is most commonly or rightly called the master clock, this clock positioned adjacent to digital to analog conversion circuitry. Only a ddc or streamer with I2S clock can replace the internal... | |
| Attention Horn Owners Any horn speaker with horn honk is ether not properly designed or improper setup and partnering equipment. Your AN speakers are very nice, they have some of these horn characteristics, great dynamics, big sound, sense of performers in room, musica... | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? I first heard the squeaks many, many years ago, assumed everyone heard it. | |
| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? Dedicated streamer in your price range is far better investment vs SU6 or any DDC. DDC is marginal improvement vs a quality streamer, these icing on the cake, and then only for dac's with I2S input. I previously owned Su6 and now own Denafrips Ga... | |
| Looking for Some Music Server Advice Good advice from @verdantaudio To get best quality sound from Roon need two streamer setup, Core streamer is the critical thing to get right, the second streamer/Endpoint/renderer extremely specialized device. NAS another good idea to decrease lo... | |
| DDC With I2S in and Out The SU 6 may have slightly better jitter specs, it does not outperform the Gaia. I previously owned SU-6,now own Gaia, far more than a single spec determines quality. Gaia build quality far superior, better internal power supply, higher quality OX... | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? @lanx0003 You're misunderstanding me. I2S is the native digital pathway in every dac, this is the DEFAULT clock used regardless of input chosen. Section 4.2 simply states one can sync or use DDC I2S clock OR use dac internal clock using async. Imp... | |
| I2S Recommendation I don't know there is a sound quality penalty paid for using HDMI cable vs I2S, but you're paying for unused runs of wire, in the case of pure silver this can really run up the bill. | |
| Radiating EMI – Continued The router no longer an issue with wifi disabled. Also, I have optical conversion via Sonore OpticalModule, OpticalRendu, quality lps, dc cables, ac cables, Finisar industrial 1475 transceivers. Every single component in my streaming component pow... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? I saw local bands like MC5, Iguanas (Iggy Pop's first band, my sister dating bass player), Sunday Funnies, Mitch Ryder, others I'm forgetting. This Ann Arbor, junior, high school days, lots of free concerts in the area. First paid big venue concer... | |
| Do I still need a DDC in between? Sync means using Gaia clock. By the way both DDC and dac use I2S clock, I2S is native pathway in every dac, you're bypassing dac I2S clock when syncing or using DDC or streamer with I2S interface. Perhaps some have used inferior DDC if found to be... | |
| Help me mod my tube amp Yep, the yellow one is correct. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries I presume human music began with groups gathered around fire pits, banging sticks and bones against rocks, bones and sticks, this or whatever materials available. I can recall many a time when gathered around fires someone picks up a stick and sta... | |
| Native DSD versus DoP I agree with the above, Also 16/44 pcm is plenty fine, who'd ever thought! I remember when the common claim was 16/44 could never provide enough resolution and pcm inferior, how wrong.These days I pay no attention to whether recording 16/44 or ups... |
