| Recommendations for a Analog to Digital Converter If you're on a tight budget, you may want to consider a Behringer Ultracurve Pro DEQ2496. Its a digital EQ with a lot of useful features. The ADC and the DAC sections both support 24/96. You can bypass all the effects and just use it for an ADC, b... | |
| MIT continued experience "07-06-15: Jafantany of you guys using MIT cabling w/ THIEL loudspeakers?I would be interested in reading about the synergy (if any)and your listening impressions/thoughts?"I would be careful. Since the signal leaving the network box is different ... | |
| A-B testing of cables Mcintosh, while being very well made, isn't the most detailed equipment that you can buy. It wouldn't be my first choice to do a cable shootout with. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes the more detailed gear can drive you crazy.Look... | |
| Bi wire to single post question "07-06-15: YogiboyWhat you want to do would be fine.I did that when I went from a bi-wire to a single post speaker."Its not that simple. Under normal circumstances, you're correct. His MIT cables have a network box. Out of the box comes a connecti... | |

| Passive attenuator impedance question The 121 and 321, I believe are from Wadia's current offerings. I've never used either one, so I really can't comment on how they sound. But I have had many Wadia products over the years, and still have an 861SE and a 302. The owners manuals say to... | |
| Passive attenuator impedance question "07-06-15: GeorgelofiIf this is happening Zd542 the dacs volume control is "bit stripping" in the digital domain, this will not happen with a passive volume control in the analog domain."I know."I know that when you lower the volume on your dac, y... | |
| Passive attenuator impedance question I don't think you'll benefit in any way by using a passive volume control. I know that when you lower the volume on your dac, you loose some resolution. I've done quite a bit of testing, along with a few other audiophiles that were curious, as wel... | |
