| Schiit Bifrost with USB & Uber upgrades One last update...I have just found out that the ripping software can make a considerable difference in the performance this cracking little DAC is capable of.I ripped a few of my best CD's using dbPoweramp and WOW! - what a difference.It really r... | |
| REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect Yping - how do you quantify "better"?Yes, they are...- a little more dynamic with crisper highs- venue acoustics (reverberations etc...)are more realistic- bass is deeper with better control and detailing- high-end is more extended , but smoother ... | |
| Schiit Bifront or Musical Fidelity M1 One last thing I discovered just yesterday - use dbpoweramp to rip CD's - the SQ is so much better - I was using iTunes and sometimes MAX on my iMac.Now I rip (AIF) on my windows machine to a USB drive and then import to my iTunes library on my NA... | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? Essrand - something else I've tried just this week - I now use dbPoweramp to rip CD's - the SQ is significantly better than using iTunes or MAX.You can get a free 21-day fully loaded evaluation version - after that it reverts to a crippled free ve... | |
| USB SQ, what can one expect Red - just this week I've been ripping CD's with dbPoweramp.The improvements were significant - then again I was using iTunes prior to this - won't ever do that againYou can get dbPoweramp for a free 21 day trial - just google them.The improvement... | |
| Streaming Box Aries - this is a huge can of worms and to answer it depends on so many factors, like...- what level of SQ are you hoping for- what I the resolution of stations you want to stream- is streaming Internet content your only aim- what level of compute... | |
| Schiit Bifront or Musical Fidelity M1 Zman - I've heard that too, but I cannot really see why.Perhaps it's the better quality hard drives used, or the different bus architectures employed?Personally - I stream via my iMac, but store all my music on a NAS drive with server grade hard d... | |
| REVIEW: Soundsmith Denon DL103 Ph - the main thing about the Mint is it's "extreme precision".But it all depends on what profile the stylus is - the OC/CL seems to benefit greatly by using the mint. From what I understand other profiles are not quite as demanding.One thing abou... | |
| Schiit Bifront or Musical Fidelity M1 Zman - just get good cables - it will sound greatDid you get the UBER upgrade - it makes a differenceI've just ordered the v-link192 just to see if that makes a difference - as opposed to using the USB directly into the DACThere's lots of positive... | |
| Schiit Bifront or Musical Fidelity M1 Zman - I upgraded the USB port on my Bifrost to their latest Gen 2 version just after it was announced and it was well worth the money.A significant improvement in details across the board.It gives me confidence that future upgrades will probably ... | |
| REVIEW: Soundsmith Denon DL103 One thing I now know, this cartridge really deserves a precision alignment that is provided by quality protractors such as the Mint Best Tractor.These are made specifically for your turntable's arm and provides the ability to precisely set the opt... | |

| REVIEW: KLEI gZero20 Interconnect Yping - I don't think you would have any problem hearing the improvements the gZreo20 would provide. The thing I like about the whole Harmony range of cables is that they allow systems like mine to "raise their game" and I never feel that they wil... | |
| Platter Levelling Issue I misread the units of the graduated marking - I now believe each graduation to represent 5/1000 of an inch.I had an email from Jeff at Audiomods and he advised that I ensure the platter is level.Many thanks for the responses - I think I've come t... | |
