Perhaps useless, but today is National Dog Day........ @whart My wife and I don’t have kids -- we have dogs -- and they add immeasurably to our quality of life. As such, they are certainly worth celebrating! To circle this back around to audio, TEK Audio (service facility for Jay’s Audio and a hand... | |
Battle of the Older DAC @incoming A quick Google search brings up names of audio clubs in N. Zealand: Auckland Audio Society Wellington Audio Club Sound System Community NZ (Facebook) Perhaps you could borrow a DAC or two... | |
Six DAC Comparison @vthokie83 Yes it would, you'd want to keep the oven controlled crystal oscillator in the Jay's transport as the master clock Great! Thanks again for your patient explanations. | |
Battle of the Older DAC @incoming Yes; the best option is to hear a dac in your room, especially if it is acoustically less than optimal. There are quite a few dealers who offer trial periods and return policies (without restocking fees). FYI, you will have to pay sh... | |
Six DAC Comparison @vthokie83 Thank you for explaining. If the clock in a dac is, for example, a Femto, wouldn't it be advantageous to utilize the Jay's connections that bundle the digital data and clock together in order to utilize the Jay's superior clock? | |
Six DAC Comparison @vthokie83 QUESTION: My Jay's CDT2MKIII has an OCXO. How does such a transport affect DAC clocking ? | |

YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. @rooze Oh, I see... thanks for the clarification. You’d think the industry would want to somehow adjust its marketing and business plan, knowing its aging customer base will only be around for a few more years. | |
Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I’ll be interested to hear what you decide. | |
YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. @rooze FYI, this topic has been discussed more than once in the past. To quote another forum member whose name escapes me (I'm an old guy, too): "The search feature is your friend". | |
Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I seem to recall you replaced the Hegel with something else. What are you using to power the S. Fabers??? | |
Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 I’m looking forward to your report and not only because we appear to have similar tastes in home decor. I expect my next upgrade will be the DAC. | |
Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos Thanks for the background to an unusual song. Interesting story. @curiousjim Congratulations -- I hope they'll provide you with many years of musical bliss! | |
First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @melm I also happen to own a Suburu so your example is very apt. I bought my Jay’s transport direct from Alvin Chee in Singapore. Repair work is provided by TEK Audio Specialties in Buda Texas. In fact, my remote needed repair and Todd at TEK f... |
