| Brave man, McGowan... I think it might be his polite way of showing that he does not know everything, you don’t know everything, I don’t know everything and..most importantly... I won't quote whole post but I really agree with you fully. Nice to see such posts here. | |
| Brave man, McGowan... I want to add a few comments. Anyone who says that " McGowan’s products are way overrated POS!" is either ignorant or has an ax to grind.I have been a strong proponent of their power regenerators since the days of the premier power plant. Have own... | |
| Brave man, McGowan... Just purchased an incredible $10K power amp. It brought my whole system to life - a huge deep stage, with detail, texture and timber I could never have imagined. WOW! just replaced my old ICs! The new $5K ICs make such an improvement on my $10K am... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Looking back, even BEFORE the Loudness Wars started, vinyl generally has higher dynamic range than its CD brethren. No bout a doubt it. You only need to look 👀 at the Dynamic Range Database to appreciate that. The other big advantage of vinyl, a... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Zalive, if you do not like the symbals on digital recordings just focus on the bass. It's really complex, as reproduction is (the way I see/picture it) a multiplication of influences. What's unrealistic with the cymbals or other sounds located ... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? of course not, you can’t hear it that way not only in digital but in LP neither:first because you can’t have the live music exprerience in true/real way in any room/home system and second ( between other reasons. ) becdause in a Hall your seat p... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... Though only I listened to it through youtube with my earphones on, the Terminator is the one I’d like to have in my system. it’s a musical beast, that’s for sure. | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? We are talking DACs here. There is no feedback on a Delta-Sigma DAC. Delta-sigma conversion is based on a feedback, it’s how it works. In fact, feedback is described even in very words ’delta-sigma’.Delta-sigma conversionYou can see with any delt... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Why do non-OS R2R DACs sounds better (only to some). I was discussing the R2R vs delta-sigma approach of PCM DA conversion with a local knowledgeable guy who is audio designer himself (though more on the analog side, yet he has designed digital... | |
| Brave man, McGowan... Apparently that’s not how many people listen. Basically, if my Null Tester cannot pick up something, my ears cannot possibly pick up 😬 Speaking of which, it's really funny when such come to the conclusion that any difference they hear yet can't... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Comparison's made with the same system cancel out everything except the variables being changed. Except, how to escape the music being a variable itself when digital and analog are made from different (differently produced) masters? A fair compa... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? I have posted before on this topic, so I’ll be brief. I believe that 90% of the problems in ANY sound are locked into the recording/mastering process, and maybe the actual pressing with Vinyl, since there is so much opportunity to f it up. There’s... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? If you are currently a "vinyl" person, then you may have an expectation of a sound that digital .... well just isn’t. It should not be about "vinyl" or "digital" persons. It should be about high fidelity, getting as close as possible to natural s... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? @zalive, sadly I found your words to be all too true. I still remember all the hassle of trying to source genuine high purity OFC copper speaker cables on eBay. After trying to trawl through the maze of varying prices and some non too convincing... |
