| MHDT or Border Patrol It’s nice to listen to music again and if I’ve learned anything, I’ll never let perfect specs dictate a decision again. Gotta listen to it at home on your system with your speakers and room setting.Quote of the day/week/month. Always good to keep ... | |
| MHDT or Border Patrol The only DAC in their line to both accept and output 24 bit signals up to and including 192 is the Pagoda. Here’s a quote from Head Fi member s1rrah who did a nice comprehensive review of the Pagoda a couple of years ago.Secondly, the Pagoda DAC i... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? There seems to be a strong odor of ASR Forum emanating from this corner of Audiogon. Or is that eau de Hydrogenaudio? | |
| Converting ALAC to .wav Or dBpoweramp Music Converter - not freeware. Nice fast batch converting in my experience. Fully functional trial for 3 weeks. https://www.dbpoweramp.com/ | |
| MHDT or Border Patrol Also keep in mind with MHDT Lab DACs you have a choice in DAC chips. This link provides a nice overview:http://www.basshead.club/mhdt-labs-pagoda-stockholm-atlantis-and-canary/ I purchased the Pagoda (PCM1704), in part, because I wanted 24/192 nat... | |
| Mac Mini as a music server I had a Mac mini in my audio system for several years before exploring other options. I replaced a 2010 model with another in 2012. The 2012 model was spec'd much higher .. I went all-in .. quad-core i7, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD. I have a license for A... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming After a couple of years with Tidal's and/or Deezer's premium tiers I went back to Spotify for casual listening. Like others here I've found the streaming services just don't measure up to my own library of ripped/downloaded files. I'm perfectly sa... | |
| That "Wow" Moment! Similar experience .. Mark Knopfler "Kill to Get Crimson" was playing. Thankfully it was it stock. | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Tubes be damned, I do believe the Pagoda is relatively neutral. Not completely, but it isn't warm and it isn't sterile, and I do believe that I can get more information out of a DAC that's built to extract as much information as possible.I have th... | |
| Watts, and clarity. Nelson Pass and others, along with myself feel the "First Watt" is most important. With high efficiency speakers you may not even need more than a watt for normal volumes. That said, if the first watt sounds like crap who cares about the other 99... | |
| Mac Mini as a music server I recently re-purposed an old Mac mini (2010) to server duty and have been pretty happy with the outcome. I'm using Asset UPnP in conjunction with either Hi-Fi Cast or BubbleUPnP apps for control to a Chromecast Audio. Works and sounds great. Just... | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming Sorry @rvpiano .. interesting thread btw. | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming Bo .. I've read many of your posts and still haven't a clue what the hell you are talking about. You never actually offer any information about your mods or measurements. You do however always seem to mention being more knowledgeable and experienc... | |
| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? I added an Omega DeepHemp 8 to augment my Super 3i Monitors. I was really unsure if this 8" driver (down-firing, sealed design) could be satisfying. It made a world of difference. Yes, I'm thrilled. I doubt you'd be disappointed with any of the on... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Clarence Spady .. an incredible talent whose career, unfortunately, was hampered by drug use in his early days. "Nature of the Beast" (his 1st album) is my favorite. IIRC you can find him on Spotify. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Spady I’... |
