| Can I use my wavelength Dac for computer audio? You want a USB to SPDIF converter. Wavelength sells one, as does Empirical Audio, Audiophellio, M2Tech, etc.Feel free to message me privately to ask for more details. | |
| Is anyone familiar with the Ayre Dac?? I don't know about the Ayre house sound, but the QB9 DAC as compared to many of the DACs out there is beautiful, slightly romantic and polite. All things that other people have said.It's a fine sounding DAC, striking a nice balance between resolve... | |
| New Oppo 103 & 105 Q&A Interview Is anyone, I mean anyone making a USB 3.0 based DAC?There are no actual implementations, and no theoretical advantages given that playback today does not hit the limit of USB 2.0. | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Two things:Atma-sphere MP-1 with capacitor and power supply upgrades.Hypex NC400 or NC1200 based monoblocks.Send me a note if you want more info on the NC400s. | |
| Is there an amp that does 2-channel and all this? A $4000 Arcam or NAD or Harmon multi-channel receiver is still going to sound crappy compared to a $2000 2-channel integrated amp.The 2-channel guys have just opted out of responding to this thread just like most vinyl guys don't bother trying to ... | |
| Atma-Sphere S 30 & Zero Autotransformer Boxes Low efficiency? Yes, I think the S-30 is going to run out of gas. There's no way to solve this other than be using a different amp or different speakers.Agree, to solve the low impedance problem, the autoformers will do the trick. To solve the low... | |
| The New PS Audio PWD MKII No problems here using the PWD MK2 through USB and my Mac Mini.A very good DAC, with its major strength that it does not at all sound digital. | |
| Looking for DAC suggestions For $2000 exactly, the NAD M51, which compares favorably to the Anedio D2 and PS Audio PWD MK2.It's selling very well though, so may also be hard to find. Crutchfield (the Internet based audio dealer) may have it in stock, or even better, your loc... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC You may want to also consider the NAD M52 DAC. It's the equal of the PWD MK2, with differences mostly to do with synergy rather than anything else.I recently sold my PWD MK2 to a local Audiogon member who has it paired with a Yamaha A-S2000 integr... | |
| How good is the PWD DAC II Preamp Section I found that the PWD MK2 with Atma-sphere MP-3 preamp into Hypex NC400 mono blocks was better than PWD direct to NC400 mono blocks. The PWD in this case was slightly dry in the context of the very neutral NC400s.Your mileage may vary. | |
| Outboard DAC $1100 for the Eastern Electric Minimax Plus. Which has SPDIF coax input as well as async USB input.It's more expensive than perhaps you're looking to spend, but will serve you better long term. It satisfies your present need and will will work ver... | |
| Low level noise from spkr when nothing is playing Agree with Marakanetz. If you can only hear it if you hold your ear up to the speaker, then it doesn't really matter.Off hand, I would try switching the preamp feed so that the center channel amplifier input is coming from a different output of th... | |
| Congestion, clarity problems gone: M.R. RM-9 In this case, when they're talking about the MKI to MKII upgrade by Roger, the mod / upgrade is being done by the original designer himself. | |
| has anyone had problems with wadia service? Reading this thread was like watching Groundhog Day.A member who needed service for his Wadia component but steadfastly refused to deviate from his established course despite repeated offers from a dealer. This person would rather die than do it s... | |
