| Should I upgrade home theatre to one with HDMI? Admranger you wrote...I can't image that the 2005? era DACs in the Rotel receiver are going to trump the ones in the BDP-95 Oppo, but I could be wrong. Are you suggesting that they are better or will sound better with my setup, Tcatman?Actually,I ... | |
| What to expect from a new DAC? Hmm..So, my transport is a Levinson 31 Reference DAC.... so it was very expensive (and sounds great).My preamp is an Audio Research LS15 active preamp (tubes). I tried the passive linestage attenuator 20 years ago and found it not to be the way to... | |

| What to expect from a new DAC? Ah the philosophy of better....Still there is another technical factor to consider in what will be the source for your DAC....? A low jitter transport was critical back in the day for your discs.... Now you seem to need a low jitter USB source for... | |
| Should I upgrade home theatre to one with HDMI? Just wanted to emphasize a point of clarification for anyone not completely up to speed on this format and connection stuff.. ....Any of the TV, Cable, Fios or Sat boxes will not use the high resolution uncompressed audio that you hear about. (The... | |
| USB to SPDIF Converters If you are upgrading to a new dac.... why don't you get one with the interface you want? The converters are a stop gap solution. I also have a Hag USB... I debate the merit of an upgrade to an asynch converter versus a new dac with an asynch USB b... | |
| Which is the best controller for classical music? Not sure I understand your question. If by controller... you mean the software that indexes and catalogs your music collection and then lets you play it to a USB or some device... You will be disappointed.

| Mark Levinson n°39 or dedicated DAC? I don't understand why you would want 90's era digital technology in 2011. Without putting a price tag to the Levinson 39 to match up to current DACS... this is a theoretical debate... (I don't know of any blanket advice on choosing between old di... | |

| DLNA client versus USB DAC ?? Ah... turns out it's a moot issue for me now.DNLA players are not the same as DNLA Renderers. Both boxes play files.... the Renderer box can be controlled by a third program/box called a DLNA controller.So .. unless the blueray player is a rendere... | |
| DLNA client versus USB DAC ?? I read both of those references and I still don't quite get it.DLNA is a consumer based streaming protocol which will deliver bits to a DAC. So you could hook your AV receiver up to your server and stream files to the DAC on board the receiver and... | |
| Vinyl vs. Hi Resolution Computer Audio Check out this thread which links to a round table of industry pro's and Michael Froemer...(of the mega vinyl system fame and Stereophile contributor) at the Philotechnic Society in NYC.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?gmusi&1230301509&... | |
| Will getting a DAC converter improve mp3 playback Couple of things you may not be clear on.The MP3 or any other compressed format that you have collected has lost some of the musical magic. However... you may not have the equipment (receiver and speakers... or pre amp, power amp and speakers) to ... | |
