What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.

Qualities Of An End-game System
The music transports you to the scene.  You feel like you are in a club or a blues bar or a concert hall or a rock concert, a cathedral.  One of my favorites is the Carly Simon, “Live at Grand Central”.  The ambience is amazing.  I close my eyes a...

willgolf, outstanding.  Looking forward to hearing more about you new system as it burns in.  Also, pictures.  Want to see pictures.  
Aries-Cerat Helene Review
Hi jc51373,  well that stinks.  I'm sorry the Hele'ne was not to your liking.  I'm guessing you are able to return it.  My dealer gave me a 30 trial period.  Definitely will be a bugger getting that beast back into the crate.  Remember to lift wit... 
Ethernet cables
I can be specific on what exactly the silver plated wire ethernet cables did for my system with my previous NUC based music server.  The clarity of the music improved.  The highs smoothed out- less of that glare.  The first time I plugged in one o...

I didn’t say that about IEEE and you know it.  I said a square wave is analog.  Agree or disagree and explain why. You are free to buy cheap cables.  They will make sound.  Why are you on this forum is all you want is sound?  This forum is for th... 
Ethernet cables
This is a summary of about 3 years of study on the subject and experimentation on my part to confirm or dispel others’ claims. I can’t cite a single source that would explain it all. Much of the information is scattered about. I’ve not had technic... 
Ethernet cables
They are transmitting digital data not analog signals- False If you tap into your ethernet cable do you see 0's and 1's?  You do not.  You see a square wave ranging from 5-80 MHz.  A square wave is.....wait for it.... ANALOG.  It is a wave.  It i... 
power cord for pass 250.8
I use the Purist Audio Design Corvus power cords and speaker cables with my Pass X260.8’s.  Yeah, I had to buy two power cords.    The noise floor dropped noticeably with these cables.  Sound is excellent.  The two amps plug directly into an outle... 
TAS. The Absolute Sound?
I recall in the mid 80s two articles in an issue of Stereophile.  One article raved about a Radio Shack 1 bit portable CD Player how good it sounded when connected to a stereo system via a mini-plug to RCA adapter.  The other article discussed the... 
Ethernet cables
The tendency is to compare digital signal transmission to a telegraph.  After all, the dot-dash DC circuit of the telegraph is similar to the 0-1 of digital.  And like the DC circuit of a telegraph the voltage of a digital signal is either 0 or 5 ... 
Ethernet cables
I found the wire in the ethernet cables matter. Bits are bits but the high frequency internet data transmission rates behave like an analog wave. The Signal to Noise ratio of digital is superior to analog but it is still not impervious to noise. M...

I think lugsy is mocking us audiophiles.   Everyone knows that filling ice cube trays with hot water freezes faster.  
TAS. The Absolute Sound?
Remember in the Matrix how the operators could visualize the scene by watching green symbols raining down the computer screen?  Apparently, Jason doesn’t need to listen to the music, he watches a graph of the music.  A $300 bluetooth amp should ge... 
Ethernet cables
Ethernet cables are directional whether they are marked or not- at least the silver plated wire ones are.  So if it sounds bad, try turning it around.  I bought some silver plated wire Pangea ethernet cables about a year ago.  They made my previou...
