No question the Behringer has a ton of functionality, especially at under $300. The simple RTA is useful on the fly. I think and hope this tool will help with the MiniMe development.
I always wondered why the DEQ sounded so veiled but suspected ...

I am sure that recording might be implemented by different means - as long as you feel that you do not lose the quality that FM offers then any means are good.[/quote]Today I set-up FM tuner -> ADC -> DACs -> am...

I did not have it but it might be fun to try it as the design idea looks like beautiful. What is amassing about this player that it was designed by Russians, I think they build it in Singapore.

Srajan have mentioned at his News Page (the only resource worth reading at his site) that a new CEC TL1N transport and CEC DX1N DAC become available, well available in civilized countries like Poland not in the countries were the fucked up distributo...

The Stahl-Tek DAChttp://www.stahltek.com/vekian_da.htmKeith, what is interesting is that you claim “greater resolution” and “presence” - would you please explain what does it mean?The Cat...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Jim, do I know you?
I ask because I know one Jim near Boston who has Lavry DAC and who has the new Thorsten's Abbingdon Music Research. The Thorsten's DAC should be Multibit as. It might be very interesting and I assure yo...

[quote user="Paul S"] a maxed/modded Museatex iDAT-44+ DAC (adapted for battery power; no AC!)[/quote]
Yes, Paul it is good that you remind me it as I have been thinking about it for a few years and never put my hands on it. I am not a bit fun of ba...

the 47 labs progression dac uses just a few passive components after the multibit dac chip and with the flatfish transport produces excellant bass and rhythm.i think that results will vary depending on the individual dac chip architecture and how it ...

To my big surprise the Pacific tuned out to be an absolutely wonderful 16-bit DAC - the only one that migh compete with by Bidat. It does not go into max weigh of lowest end as some other best converters do but it has such an interesting and reach “e...

Romy Hi, how's the new dac? Do you feel ready to announce it? Regards Keith....
|
I have some “issues” with the 176.4kHz idea, particularly knowing the most of the RR recordings were not recorded in 176.4kHz. I am glad that they did not go for X48K format but stuck with X44 (I more like the Linn’s 88.2KHz “Studio Masters” idea). S...

Well, it looks like the new Berkeley's DAC moved from development and prototype into production. I most likely will have a change to trying in a couple weeks but I do not know at this point if I will do it. The final version of Berkeley's Alfa DAC ha...

[quote user="mark"] …for digital inputs they show aes,spdif,toslink and bada,which i understand is for use with the rr hrx 24/176?. [/quote]
Which is just one line in, not multiple lines in. Also the have changed the 24/176 to 24/192

Yes, the enclosure something like this, thanks for tip, miab, but it opens a door for desire more. A good box with fanless operation, 1920 x 1200 pixels touch-screen, 6 hard-drives, remoter control, $650 price tag is...

Well, this is a big subject.
Kind of. For sure a better DAC produce better sound. How much a better DAC shall
cost? That is a complicated topic that has absolutely no relation to how the
DAC sound. I remember a dealer that I know pick up a new spe...

Hi,I'm thinking to put up a PC to just play audio files (I'm not interesting in any kind of recording).From the previous discussions it seems that a good digital interface can be Lynx AES 16.My first question is about quality. Considering...
|
Well, I finally found and implemented a digital front end that I can live with. I have been so cynical about digital up to now that I have kept and used an old, cheap Sony player (albeit one actually made in Japan...) because up to now it seeme...

Mani, a month or so ago you posted a question at this site asking how possible to use Pacific as the ONLY DAC in playback. Sine at that time you deal with Pacific was pending we decided to remove the post in order do not create unnecessary agitations...

Some people I read about on Russian audio site made experiment running DA10 and Berkeley DAC in different systems and found Berkeley DAC more interesting. I am not sure what it means – I invest very little credibility to most of the people out there ...

Hi Mats:
Thanks for the update. I find the Lavry DA-11 to be an interesting unit, not because of all the "features" but because of Mr Lavry's long history producing serous DACs and the consumer-friendly pricing. I do wish that Mr Lavry did...

First of all I had a good conversation with Lynx people. Pacific is very well known to them unit and many of their customers use it. They suggested as the most typical application for their customers to slave Lynx from Pacific in A/D mode and to ...

Jessie, I have two comments/questions.
Are you sure that using the USB you do not use the sound card? I am a software guy not a hardware guy and with my limited understanding I presume that an application that reads a file must talk to so kind of dr...

Has anyone tried the Benchmark DAC Pre?
These guys seem to have an interesting approach to dealing with jitter by effectively (or not so effectively?) ignoring input data clocks. Their methodology seems to be cloaked but the basic premise is that...

Anybody has listened to it?...

[quote user="tuga"]Hello,
I have owned a TDA1543 based Kusonoki style (passive I/V, digital filterless, non oversampling) DAC for almost two years.
You can have a look at the measurements here.
I find that this kind of implementation (Kusonoki...

Dear Romy,Though not related to this topic much, but I want to know your opinion about discontinued DPA dacs. There is a chance for me to buya PDA 1024. For the moment I dont have a proper transport to test it and just use my digital radio's output. ...
