| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? In lower price group, Shuguang Black Treasure comes out on top in some the comparative reviews I've seen. All tubes in lower tier really not close to upper tier, really no middle ground with these tubes. The large gulf due mostly to superior resol... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. @nonoise Suppose I should have tried it when in house, kind of regret it just for the experience alone, theoreticals don't always work out in real world. I agree wide variety of opinions on streaming solutions, empirical evidence seems best we hav... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. @nonoise I previously owned Singxer SU6, never bothered to even try it, seems rather counterintuitive since it still uses usb, only thing changed is internal vs external conversion to I2S. If dac already has quality usb board, seems like lateral... | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? In short run guess I'd pick dac, over the long run all pc important, weak link is weak link. I have heard differences with pc on power conditioners, and yes, they feed everything so need to pass much current. | |
| Softest, smoothest sounding capacitors you've tried? Jupiter HT or VT. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @testrun I've been curious about this exact comparison for some time. Presently have Opticalrendu powered by Uptone JS2, have OpticalModule on order (supposed to ship in July) to replace generic FMC powered by lps I will have NA Muon in house som... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. I've seen no evidence best interface has been objectively determined. | |
| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? While above is interesting for those directly in room, youtube videos very poor way to make any audio evaluation. You're listening to unfamiliar systems through relatively low quality digital. The listening impressions may be valid for people prod... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @tjag The above experience isn't definitive in streamer vs reclocker superiority as the Chord MScaler doesn't have optimized usb board, really meant for BNC input. I bet tables turned using dac with optimized usb board. Antipodes is actually... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. Just finished another search of best digital interface, been watching this for years, still no consensus on which is better. Only way to know which is better is direct comparison, implementation is key. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 Your insights very much appreciated. I believe the 501 uses the 9038, 502 as well. As you all know, I love the sound of 005, absolutely no complaints, I believe Musetec voiced it to best of their ability. We can't know how it would so... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @charles1dad I'm only posing this as interested spectator in observing designers as they voice audio components. Presumption is measurements and listening go hand in hand, design of circuits using individual component values in order to attain par... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The only thing that gave me pause was Musetec reaction to poor ASR measurements, recall them stating Amir's measuring equipment superior to what they used in designing 005. While I'm on board with listening as being superior to limited measure... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. Antipodes makes good argument for their K50 solution. Ed Meitner of EMM Labs has stated having clock closest to circuit it's clocking is preferable, in this case we'd want to use the clock in dac. I'd love to to a direct comparison. | |
| Have you ever solved a high end audio issue using non-audio technology? Or, visa versa? The Tiger could also be called a Ford. I'm considering converting my BGT into Sebring clone with Ford or Rover V8, then I'd have fast car that felt scary fast! |
