| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? The I2s advantage is that clock and data are provided to the DAC. In other videos Paul makes clear that they took the internal I2s bus and created their own standard to externalize I2s. He is their prime salesperson. He sold me on the value of I2s. | |
| CD/SACD Changer for the lazy audiophile....suggestions? Ripping CDs is the easiest approach to CD play..but SACD ripping is a pain. | |
| PS Audio Directstream DAC? Within the next month PS Audio will be Beta testing their next generation DAC..followed shortly after with people flooding the used market with their first generation DAC. So, expect falling prices. | |
| Best Phono Cartridge for VPI Titan Turntable I have a 10" gimbal fatboy/My Sonic Lab Platinum..The best and most musical cartridge that I’ve heard and lots of inner detail..but this is the first time that I have purchased a cartridge of this caliber. | |
| Turntable suggestions for a shaky wooden floor I have a listening room suspended over a two car garage and had quite a time getting vibrations under control. What I did was this: 1. Very heavy Timber Nation 4 Shelf Maple rack with spikes at every shelf support... 2. Iso-Pucks under all equip... | |
| Best Phono Cartridge for VPI Titan Turntable @palmbeachflorida What is it that you are looking for in a cartridge? | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? @lalitk I think that was my point. Results are dependent upon implementation. | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? Perhaps, a blanket statement regarding up sampling is overly general. Octave records has recently started mastering in DSD256, but prior to this they mastered in DSD64. So, they have been upsampling the 64 to 256 and so far the reviews, to my su... | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? @brandonhifi Shunyata might be the best way to go and I spent more on the NR power cables than the Everest, but this was the biggest upgrade in sound that I’ve made so far. If you are a dealer ignore this next part, but they had a large price in... | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? @brandonhifi I didn't want that response. All 6 conditioning channels on my Everest are taken. | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? What differences do you hear when you rip a cd to the Aurender vs play on the Jays? | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? @brandonhifi O.T. Curious..On the Aurender site it suggest AES, or coax output is preferable to USB. Have you found this to be true? | |
| Digital Improving All the Time? I have a modest 9.2.2 Klipsch Atmos system in my theater room that makes the soundtracks of my KDrama programming sound great. Lots of great music and much of the lyrics are in English. Janet Suhh, an American singer has found success in this genr... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? I prefer to listen to music and not measure the equipment. How can you possibly measure all variables that determine what reaches your ear? Perhaps manufacturers should require hearing tests prior to obtaining permission to purchase equipment. | |
| Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital? Will you miss the vinyl ritual, or be liberated by the digital variety? On paper you can build a great streaming system, but the devil is in the details. So, if we were talking about your new found love for performance piano and have thoughts of... |
