| 24-bit question..... Some receivers, processors, DACs, etc... out there have the ability to display what the bit rate is of the digital stream. But the format still dictates. As I understand it... a redbook CD is always only going to be 16/44, regardless of how it was... | |
| Best Transport for under a $1000 If you're lucky, you can get a Theta Jade for right around this price ($1000-$1200). The Jade was Theta's last flagship, audio-only transport. They don't come around too often. Excellent transport. All their new stuff is Audio and Video. Also chec... | |
| What is "west coast sound" Taking Kurt_tank's analogy a little further... maybe the "West Coast" sound is more finessed, quicker and leaner (brighter, detailed?). As opposed to heavier, powerful, etc. (warmer, laid back?)Funny, it's also the first time I've heard of this term. | |
| Proceed PMDT to PAV / PDSD - Using RJ-11 Jacks Hi Dan,Good to hear from you again. I suspected as much. Figured I'd try and give it a whirl. Oh well.I must say, the PAV/PDSD set you sold me is simply everything it was made out to be in the press. I had an opportunity to a/b the set to the AVP'... | |
| Best DVD Player $2000.00 new or used Russ_I, you have a valid point. Yes, Proceed has been phased out. But Harman has assured me that they will honor the lives of their service warranties on Proceed products. Goose89, just also keep in mind that the PMDT is engineered like no other d... | |
| Best DVD Player $2000.00 new or used Goose89, you simply cannot go wrong with the PMDT. It is without equal. As a transport, it is stunning. The depth of subtle detail that this transport can convey simply makes it superior to any transport out there with very few exceptions. I've pe... | |
| Why Sellers Forget To Update Ads, Sold/ Pending Well I have to agree and disagree with some and others.Yes, I hate it when I inquire on an item just to get a snide response, (if I'm lucky to even get one at all) - that I'm somehow wasting their time for being interested in what they're selling.... | |
| Dvd player or C D transport with a DAC ? To be honest with you, I've always heard it the other way around - that DVD players are notoriously bad transports. However, that's not to say there aren't great DVD players out there that can hold their own... but they're usually very pricey in c... | |
| Spiking a Velodyne HGS18 II Thanks everyone for your input. I'll post what transpires in the coming weeks.Best,Hector | |
| Computer-based digital audio repository system I've done something very similar, if not exactly, to what you are contemplating. I, too, use Music Match. I store all my digitized music on a dedicated external hard drive on my PC. With the use of an Audiotron (from Turtle Beach), my audio system... | |
| DVD-A player that'll output 24/96 digital signal Rcprince is correct. I recently posted a thread on this subject. I have a Marantz DV-12S1 that allows the user to toggle between a 24/96 digital signal output and one that has been 'down-converted', depending on what one's processor or DAC can han... | |
| Power Cable for MSB Link DAC w/ Power Supply Haven't come across another myself. But I will say that the one Revelation Audio offers is a huge step up from the stock cable provided. I purchased one for my MSB Nelson DAC and loved it.Hector | |
| msb problems? This is a tough one since you're dealing with the subjective aspect of your DAC - quantifying the sonic differences. I've had the opposite experience with MSB, in that they've always gone the extra mile. They've never charged me to inspect my comp... | |
| Beating a dead horse - Pre with Pass-Thru Hi Sdcampbell,Mainly, the reason for my desire to seek a balanced approach is simply curiosity. I've heard and read so many opinions on the subject - how balanced is better, etc... - that I now just want to hear for myself. I've tried tweaks, chan... | |
| Pre with Pass-Thru for HT Processor Thanks, Swampwalker. I hadn't thought of BAT components... I've heard great things of them... Didn't know they had a pass-through option. I'll certainly expand my search. |
