[quote user="coops"] I did hear a rumour that the Berkeley boys were going to make a new 'model III' but Mike Ritter quashed that particular rumour…[/quote]
I did not hear this rumor but if I did I would not give to it much credit. With all cr...

Telstar, yes, you might be right. I do not know those peoples personally but I have opened my Pacific to serve the cooling fan and have seen HOW the unit was m...

Did I tell you that Pacific Microsonics DAC is a phenomenal 16-bit DAC? I did not lie and it is very good. Look however what the updated Lavry 924++ did with it.
They are very short and small (6Meg) files, mono, 88/24 with a few seconds of opening o...

After all I just realized that I am due to my Moronity I did not use the full capacity of Pacific Microsonics A/D. Since I have fugue it out it just open a second round of my love to this processor and I am switching to use it as my main recoding A/D...

Two month back I stopped to use Pacific A/D but yesterday, experimenting with some exciting things ( I will tell later) I discover a very interesting configuration in which Pacific is free from small compression problems that I reported before. I was...

In continuation to the "A new round of Pacific’s DAC listening" post.... I have a number of revisions of this little contest between two DACs in this thread and in other threads. In all of them the Lavry 924 has a little edge over Pacific Microso...

[quote user="manisandher"] Surely, you're not going to find anyone more knowledgeable than Keith Johnson in this respect... and he uses the Model Two in Master mode (with the Lynx card)! [/quote]
Which does not necessarily mean everything in m...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Lynx slaved from Pacific is way more preferable configuration then Pacific and Lynx with independent clocks. I did not detect that when Pacific serves clock then only the amount of HF was changed as Mani reported. What I he...

My bet is at +18dB.If you adjust the output level down from +24dB, you will hear a relay 'switch in' at +18dB. The same happens when you come up to +18dB from a lower setting.Does this signal the lack of DSP? Don't know...Mani....

It would be nice if somewhere exist a community of Pacific users with some kind of knowledge base about different ways to used this processor, but I think this time has gone as the HDCD time has gone… In the world of 16.44 only the HDCD was good....

Mani, I was pointed to your thread at about Pacific:

I asked Romy the following question:
I'm contacting you because I own a Pacific Microsonics Two that I'm planning on using to playback high resolution digital files. I'm now in the process of choosing a platform, card and playing software. I k...

Romy when you use your transport and DAC how do you connect them. What kind of putputs does the Lavry have, my pre only has xlr ( balanced ) or single ended inputs ,could I use something like the lavry, also do you have a link to pacific microsonics ...

As a new concert season is coming up with BSO opening night next week I was sprucing up my recording studio. The machine is 3MHz with 2G memory – plenty run SoundLab5. The SoundLab just record and play, I do absolutely nothing else in this software, ...

For whatever reason people expressed a lot of interest to Pacific vs. Lavry A/D and I recently got an relatively a large number of emails, including from the people I do not even know, asking me to compare identical analog tracjs and post the foundin...

[quote user="manisandher"] This is very interesting and something that I have not noticed. Because I cannot double the clock frequency going into the Weiss AFI1, I have tended to ignore playing/recording 4fs files. But, I've kept the second AES/E...

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...
|
|
[quote user="manisandher"] So, all the files you've recorded @ 24/88.2 have the HDCD flag? And you've never noticed? How can this be? I'm sure I've read your previous posts Romy where you state that you don't agree with HDCD for >16/44.1 and that ...

I was under impression that it was obvious what the new “investigational” DAC was. It was the Pacific. http://www.euphonix.com/post/products/converters/model_two.htmThe link to the entire thread about the Pacific was linked to the current thread. In ...

I am not sure what all those conversations are all about. No one argue that a recording shell not hit 0dB and it was no my objective to prove it. The point that I was trying to make is that Wavelab meter did measure the right amplitude and the file i...
|
|
[quote user="manisandher"] Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. The first two seem to add something in the HF that I can imagine many people judging as being 'extra resolutio...

Whoever follows the Pacific Microsonics threads, or whoever use Pacific know that both Models one and two have an interesting idiosyncrasy: at maximum sampling rate, when Pacific runs in dual-wire mode, the clock runs at half speed. It does not ...

I was playing some 168K and 192K files recently and I have discovered that the higher sampling rate the more sensitive Sound to Pacific serve in master mode. At 1X Sound slightly better in Master Mode, still tolerable with independent clocks. At 2X t...

Not completely objective but still “some kind of test” for the bit’s resolution. For those of us who use Pacific Microsonics processors it is easy to see of the file was original. When pacific does A/D it injects the HDCD code. It does it in any ...

I hate when those industry people steps out really and from facts just to maintain the faces. What would be next: they would record at +5dB digital and suggest that this type of sound cure listeners shin cancer?
Yes, Paul Stubblebine is correc...

It is not a problem I guess if used it as it is it was intended – as a mastering processor but as a A/D, D/D, Reference Master Clock processor that work with any sampling rates and resolutions it is it kind of a bit pain in ass. I do have a number o...

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="decoud"]Romy, have you ever considered trying with your three dacs the following experiment. You take a digital file and runit through each of the dacs. You then take the output and feed it back to your adc. You then take the resultant r...
