| DAC recommendation for DSD input @mintakax I am trying to avoid the idea that spending more equals improvement. To clarify, I didn't say it wouldn't -- just that it's not guaranteed. Only one way to find out. | |
| Roberta Flack PBS profiled her on the American Masters series. Until watching it, I had no idea she was a classical piano prodigy. This is well worth watching if you stream Passport. | |
| Equipemnt to Music to Lyrics @immatthewj I guess I am not exactly sure what you are asking. Me neither. The fact that the question is phrased as if this is a common shift of focus is in itself perplexing. @tomic601 Not sure what your point is. Care to elaborate? Mine... | |
| DAC recommendation for DSD input @mintakax I don’t have firsthand experience, but for what it’s worth, the T+A is often mentioned as particularly good for DSD. Why not take advantage of an opportunity to demo it? BTW, I also listen with the H390’s internal DAC and enjoy it qui... | |
| Do you listen to your music with your eyes open or closed or a combination of both? @sfgak I am an amateur musician, and when I play guitar, it is often with my eyes closed. I find that I can “visualize“ the fretboard better with my fingers than with my eyes. I wish I'd gotten into that playing habit, but after 50 years, tha... | |
| Equipemnt to Music to Lyrics @slaw Do you read poetry? | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @westcoastaudiophile OK. Thanks for your recommendation. | |
| «40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!» Lots of valid points, here. I guess it depends which generation you’re assessing. The millenials I know are most definitely not more introverted! Quite the opposite- they prefer to do most things in groups. It’s simplistic to to expect people to... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @immatthewj Speaking only for myself, It can be both freeing and crazy-making... . | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @immatthewj It seems to me there are are very few things in audio that are NOT susceptible to YMMV. | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @immatthewj I've been told both: that an adapter is bad and that it makes no difference. I'm getting a different one in a few days. It will be interesting to hear if they sound different. I'm not fundamentally opposed to getting my cable retermi... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @audphile1 My guy at The Cable Co.suggested I try gently bending the "leaves" inside the male rca barrel inward and doing so, I was able to get the connection seated without slipping off. Ideally, I'd like it to be tighter and I may experiment f... | |
| Equipemnt to Music to Lyrics @larsman Some artists' lyrics are so good that they can stand on their own just fine even without music. Seems like the only way to validate this would be to read song lyrics off the page without having heard the song. I suspect relatively ... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @audphile1 Agreed -- it would be foolish to give up right away on the DAC due to this issue. BTW, Synergistic quoted me $150 for retermination. Still waiting to hear about turnaround time. I emailed Black Cat and they said they're no longer... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @audphile1 To be honest, it never occurred to me to try it on the analog outputs, as that wasn’t what I would be using. Note that when @mitch2 looked at his Mojo Mystique XSE, he said "The digital S/PDIF rca jack looks different". I can’t see a... |
