i am using the digital output on the 828 Mk3 so can't comment on the sound except that i have no issues with it.
the card has one coax and two optical digital outputs and a whole bunch of analog balanced ones which i don't use.
i am using the c...

I was looking for a solution to play my 88/24 files off my laptops and come across an interesting devise: M-Audio Transit USB. The thing is 24-bit/96kHz recording and playback sound card. It has digital and analog I/O, including glass, microphones in...

While I was moving in to my new home John Wight undertook my Bidat for his new update. Up to now I did not have playback properly performing but the last 2-3 weeks I feel that my playback is back. Again, whatever I lien now has only upperbass horn a...

I put the Model 2 today in the system and configured my typical operation mode. I got another pleasant surprise. It looks like the Model One and Two has different DC offset pattern. Both use digital offset and both are not defeatable. Here is where L...

Yes, it is a different link but I am sure what it is. They claim it as audio transport but they claim an optional CD hardware and software. What does it mean “optional”. If it is a regular DAW machine then it is fine, there are plenty of them out the...
|
I do not have any special animosity against DSD beside that fact that it is a fundamentally compromised format to be “final” format. My presumption that I might comply one day with a need to buy a SACD player comes from the fact that the industry in...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] It was exactly what I was experimenting for many times since 2005 and I came to exactly opposite finding. I am not able to make neither LP, tape or CD to copy in digital that would sound like original source. I am able to ...

[quote user="noviygera"]I have been thinking about how nice it would be to have have a good sounding DSP for crossover and delay functionality. I know this subject was covered here before but what was talked about is this DSP is not that good, and th...

Much clearer with the drawings; thanks again, Romy. So, if I listen to my old jazz LPs recorded live at The Village Gate with the DSP-Z9 on that setting I would be getting a double dose of ambience, along with the extra stuff the recording engineers ...

LED facade:Mind blowing!One thing is LED in the circuit as an indicator lamp or, say, SS bias and another is a LED bulb.The bad element in the bulb is the RF generator. The LEDs in the bulbs are not fed with DC or line freq. but withRF square wave. S...

[quote user="tokyo john"]Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note doe...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I pulled today from my shelf my collection of earliest Denon PCM recordings on LP the Denon record in end of the 78s. I generally do not like this entire series but the first releases where OK, not as good as then might be...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Actualy I did not take the pinkfishmedia analysis too serious. I have absolutely no idea how to interpret the results of the analysis. [/quote]No one really knows at this stage (the tool is very new), apart from the obviou...

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...
|
Mani, congratulations with Pacific.
You will not have problems to drive with balanced Pacific your single-ended amp. Juts buy a good quality XLR to RCA adapter or order XLR to RCA cable and you will be set. You do not even need to care about t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, this is interesting. I my case nether neither CEC nor Bidat affect other of the tuners. Lavrys do but not Bidat. Try to put ferrite on ALL Sansui inputs: antenna, power cord, output cables. I have 3 bids on each leg of ...

the cynical whores whom don't believe in what they doing from the ones which do. Joe Roberts happens to always have expressed his W.E love and bias ever since the dawn of "Sound Practices" so I don't see his involvement in Silbatone as a "whorish sel...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Hm,… and how many $90.000 screwdrivers that do not perform as good as $9 screwdrivers you think you will be able to sell? In the audio industry however it works wonderfully. There were many examples when audio products beg...

There of course is a ton of garbage on the net about the sound quality of a DAW with WLAN vs gigabit ethernet, analog or digital power supplies, memory, manufacturer of hard drive, active ports.I have primarily only really invested in lowest noise an...

Hey to everybody.
Long time lurker and now bored and little bit drunk - finally registered . To introduce my self I choose this forum section - looked most appropriate. Excuse me please if I'm wrong.
I'm from Bulg...

Bob, I have two questions to ask
1) Why I selected the 24/96 format? Isn’t the 48x sampling rate completely moronic rate if the 16/44 CDs are still the target?
2) Also, I wonder if you apparently so like to do it then why do n...

Considering the employments I would like to make in my installation after the floor will be done and the system is re-assembled I am very much thinking about some kind of new cable management solution. I have 21 powered components in my playback syst...
|
Well, Romy, "the industry" never really settled on anything for any reason, so many versions of pretty much everything out there, although the convolution sound processing, very generally speaking, is the pro darling these days, especially in terms o...

Hi Romy,The builder regards VR1 more like an "offset to 0" adjuster than a bias control for the 6E5P since its working range is quite narrow. He asked me to know from you if along the 6E5P's lifespan it needs further adjustments at VR1 or if a single...

I guess you mean the "Arabian" power regenerator you have been working on with Dima? Well, I will wait to hear the results enthusiastically. If it works, I want one too!
The idea of analog dithering opens up a whole new world of possibilities reg...

[quote user="serenechaos"]Sometimes it's good to be sucked at first? [/quote]Yes, it is pretty clear. If the simple parameters measured were adequate, solid state receivers would sound wonderful and CD's would be great without oversampling. This has...

Folks,It is really amusing. Here I am busy myself for a while and am not looking and suddenly Roman talks about Mini Monitors and secondar phonostages.It is even funnier if you realise taht I am on a similar kick right now, simply because I am workin...

It was posted by 6Moons and pop up at some other sites: “April 2011 - Audiopax Maggiore 100 - Eduardo de Lima reports the pending launch of a new series of amplifiers. " The Maggiore 100 makes 100 watts with KT88 and 130 watts with KT120 in single-en...

... yes, Roman... I also love Tsabropoulos' renditions and THIS very music fucked my mind, about 15 years ago... Keith Jarrett played and recorded it always on ECM, piano solo... BUT, Roman... please, PLEASE, find the real thing - i.e. de Hartmann pl...

Thanks, Peter
This is an interesting and in a way controversial subject, let us to view it in details.
