| Needing DAC Advice Have you considered changing your listening position? Looks like tonality is greatly affected by distance to the speaker according to Stereophile (https://www.stereophile.com/content/martinlogan-sl3-loudspeaker-measurements-part-2) You can see t... | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? A tube DAC with distortion as low as a Benchmark? That's going to be quite rare if not impossible. I've owned a DAC3 B and a DAC3 HGC for about two years now. Extremely good DACs and hard to beat. Paired with an HPA4 / AHB2 / Revel Ultima Studios... | |
| resonance at 500 Hz using headphones - maybe need a different DAC? There is a resonance starting right around 500 Hz on the LCD-2's - see https://www.stereophile.com/content/spectacularly-yummy-audeze-lcd-2-and-lcd-3-measurements Could be a bad solder joint that's causing some distortion and making the proble... | |
| Do I have to get a CD player to sample DSD on my digital rig? Just a note - you can use the Oppo BDP-105 (as well as other Blu-ray disc players) to rip SACDs if you want to archive them. I’ve done this myself with all my discs. There are details here - https://hifihaven.org/index.php?threads/rip-sacd-with-a... | |
| Streamer with PLEX-like UI and companion app? Or sending PLEX stream through DAC? https://www.plex.tv | |
| Streamer with PLEX-like UI and companion app? Or sending PLEX stream through DAC? Is the NAS close to the stereo? If so, try connecting a USB DAC to the NAS and using that as audio output. Alternatively, if the TV has optical digital output, that can be connected to a DAC if the NAS is inconveniently located. | |
| Breaking (burning) in new DAC What @jimmy2615 said. Personally, I would just listen to the DAC right out of the box and let the 'burn-in' happen naturally. | |
| Music streamer capable 24/96 PCM output on DSD files What DAC are you using? | |
| Berkeley Audio Design and MQA? @erik_squires We already have technology that can do this and you don't need to pay a third part to use it - cryptographic hashes. | |
| help! no sound Sounds like the amp needs to be repaired. | |
| Berkeley Audio Design and MQA? To sell DACs. | |
| About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer Maybe the expansion slot you're using for I2S / USB is defective since you're getting the same result as before. Try SPDIF between the Pulse Mini and the DAC and see if you hear the same thing. | |
| Streaming upgrade from Cambridge Audio cxn v2 if the dac has a reasonable sized buffer, shouldn’t it make up for the weakness in the streamer? You’re on the right track - these days most digital inputs are buffered so the digital interface and streamer have less and less of an impact on so... | |
| Best Audiophile desktop for under $2500? @deanshias A workstation is definitely overkill for audio applications. If you're only using the PC for audio purposes and not 3D CAD / rendering then save yourself some bucks and get something like a Beelink EQ12 - link. You can pop the top... | |
| What is going on here? Streamer or DAC? Sounds like a good plan. |
