| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... @ kosst_amojanlol Awesome! | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 @wig I'm looking at the BorderPatrol myself and will be interested in any further impressions you have! | |
| SPDIF to USB Converter? I doubt these are what you want, but I don't think a simple converter like you want existshttp://www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com/HW/SPDIF-USB.htmhttps://www.amazon.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster-System-Preamp/dp/B004275EO4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid... | |
| Which song has fewest words ever? Wipeout | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever Mary Wilson way back when from the Supremes, From the 80's, Heart's Nancy Wilson and Samantha Fox was my dream girl back then. | |
| Active and passive preamp in one chain ? I went to a McCormack DNA-1 and I think the little Mapletree tube pre, don't remember the model right now. Then a lot more tube preamps and a couple different power amps along the way. Now I'm back to an integrated lol. (Music Culture 701) | |
| Active and passive preamp in one chain ? @inna I took a quick look at The Rogue preamps' output impedance and they all seem low enough that impedance mismatches shouldn't be a problem. It looks like your idea should work, it just seems so unusual. I'm not a tech guy either, and I'm not ... | |
| Active and passive preamp in one chain ? The only input impedance I can find for your amp is 10K ohms. That's pretty low and it will cut down on your choices for a preamp. Also, if the amp section is designed for a passive pre, the voltage output of an active pre could very well overload... | |
| DACs that upsample to DSD internally? Thanks to everyone for your answers! | |
| DACs that upsample to DSD internally? @georgelofi Why? I just want to try DSD. Maybe I won't like it at all, I don't know. That's the only reason, and probably the only reason all us on here try different equipment. | |
| DACs that upsample to DSD internally? @williewonka Thank you for taking the time for the comprehensive response. I didn't mention before my DAC is battery powered. I don't even know if the USB port needs to be powered through the cable or not, but if so, would I need something like an... | |
| DACs that upsample to DSD internally? @kijanki Sorry, I meant output as DSD, even when the input is PCM | |
| DACs that upsample to DSD internally? @mahler123Thanks for the response. Do you have any choices? I mean could you listen to PCM if you wanted? If not, can you choose between 64, 128, 256? | |
| DACs that upsample to DSD internally? @williewonka My cables do need upgrading also, I have Cullen power cords, a Morrow IC, and usb and digital cords are just from Blue Jean. I recently had dedicated power lines installed. I thought I'd try to find a good DAC before upgrading the cab... |
