Ed Meitner after Musatex ran his celebrated EMM Lab Company. I never liked the EMM Lab products. Although each with trash in audio loved to like EMM Lab ADCs but I found that this D/A converters were horrible. The entire Meitner parley in SACD w...

I don't know Ed Meitner so this is not a defense of his association with SACD. However, as I mentioned some time ago I strongly suspect that it was Sony who demanded the one bit SACD and nixed the 4 bit. Sony in the late 90s was obsessed with copy pr...

I think a lot of it had to do with Playback designs( there was a legal battle between them and the not so honourable Tinn man) and therefore to under cut on the price to take sales away from them. I found this accidentally while researching Playba...

The first time I heard the Sony 777 playing a "SUPERCD" I could barely restrain myself from bolting! Absolutely abominable, and this from the guy who did my favorite "redbook" DAC...Since I know you are looking I will try to pay attention, something...

It looks like Ed Meitner has a new DAC. I come to it at 6moon site.

Paul, for sure Meitner’s product have own sound and own sonic objectives. I do not know if it is the way how Meitner wants it to be or he just address the barbaric demands of idiots who are 99% of his customers. In case the professionals who have pub...

T, The phrase “"no measurable jitter” was actually the Ed Meitner quote and it was he himself who claimed that his transport and his DAC bound together via his C-clock interface have no measurable jitter. I have no reasons to disbelieve him regarding...

Well, leaving aside my "grinding axes", namely my habitual love to remind people and myself that there are plenty Morons in audio I do think that Berkeley's parley to Reference DAC is interesting. It is interesting not by the DAC as a unit but rather...

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...

There was a big room in there with big Schweikert speakers (with thier grainy and insultingly confident Sound), some king of not particularly good electronics and the entire EMM Labs’ front-end. Many rooms at the show used EMM Labs so-call preamplifi...

Stitch, narrative is very interesting. I never had new Meitner’s DACs. I hear it countless time and each time it was very bad sound but it was always was in context of other brainless people sound and I do not know if ...

[quote user="Stitch"] Well, I made an interesting observation by accident. I didn't know those Emmlab unit (later I read that Mr. Terrific [Tin] made the distribution in USA, but later he switched to something else, which is even more ultra terrific....

I know that many of them use ADC based on Mac computers to use with Protools, while other rely on DAT's (Tascam is very well considered) built-in ADCs. Perhaps some use external ADCs from Meitner or dCS. Once you have a "decent" PCM file to tran...

I did not have time to read the articles carefully, but:"The IDAT’s D/A conversion stage is also unique.""In the IDAT, two DACs per channel are used for each half of the balanced data signal instead of one."...the very idea of balancing DAC's is not ...

Phil Gold wrote in his EMM review the following:

The key consideration for any external DAC is how to minimize or eliminate jitter. We've seen analog Phase Locked Loops (PLLs), dig...

Thanks, Steve, though I believe you forget to mention to the room number where Alex Peychevs will be demonstrating.

[quote user="Telstar"] What's really different, besides AC and capacitors is the DSP. Meitner IDAT algorithm makes a difference for sure. Also, I dont know if it uses any digital and analog filters, the lack of may improve sound transparency. [/quote...

Thank you for all ideas.I never listened to 47labs or to Metrum. all I have is a contact to a 47labs owner, he uses Flatfish Transport & Gemini DAC with a few Power supplies (2 or 3). In a way, is it really competitive with such a modern Design l...

Romy, As you have noted elsewhere, SACD was originally a multibit high sample rate format. I believe Sony went to one bit for "security" reasons to prevent copying. I didn't think the one bit idea originated with Meitner but came from Sony execs. I t...

Sorry, but I have to tell you that you do have it backwards on the skating forces. Just Google for a force diagram. Another way to know is to look at how the anti-skating force is applied in arms using the weight, pulley and monofilament line approac...
