Last couple days I was playing with my new tape looped Placette, riming Pacific from Tape Rec output. How little a Moron need to be happy!!! Even I still have some technical issuers that I need to resolve using Pacific in and out of the tape loop but...

[quote user="manisandher"] And I can indeed replicate this effect... but only with my RME FF800 and not with my Weiss AFI1.
With the FF800 (slaved to the Pacific), changing the Pacific's wordclock does indeed change the speed of any audio/vide...

Got the Pacific Model Two today - very much in mint condition unit. Those people were a bit crazy to let it go. Interesting: despite the Model One and Model Two have the absolutely identical engines about but I did detect some differences that I did ...

I do not think that dual-wire interface manufacturers design their equipment in that way they wish. Such a standard had to exist, why is such case Pacific people assumed that another side in 4x speed would doubles the clock in dual-wire mode. The Aur...

[quote user="manisandher"] If I were feeling benevolent, I'd say the organisers didn't want to turn the meeting into a marketing event for any one particular manufacturer (although it seems Amarra did quite well it this respect). It's more likely...

I spend a couple days playing with my digital, listening, measuring, trying to realize how to use it, trying to take advantage (if it exists) of my new Pacific processor. It is a true remarkable machine but the Pacific processor also highlighted to m...

By the way, I just calculated. 22Hz x 440Hz / 44.1kHz = 0.21950137Hz. It means that offset of your Pacific cloak to 22Hz of sapling rate would lead to 0.22Hz offset of A tone. I truly do not feel that it has any practical influence. Particularly con...

[quote user="Mark Donahue"]Mani, Yes, the files were created using the HDCD Model 1 AD converter and you will actually get improved audio if your DA converter properly decodes the HDCD (Even at 88.2 kHz /24 bit!) There is information about the filter...
|

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....

I do not think they encode it with HDCD, I do not think that it is even possible. Most likely there is something in those files in the files that mislead your DAC and force it to throw the HDCD indicator. Might be I am wrong but I do not think that ...

Using the AD/DA and employing those Dominus cables I could not believe lived without the tape loop. Plugging Pacific into the loop I in fact save one spare cable and got assurance that I would never will move/plug/unplug my AD anymore. I feel like w...

[quote user="jtavan"]It looks like you're looking at the right brands for ADC. It seems likely to me that getting proper A/D conversion is as hard as or harder than getting proper D/A conversion. I'm currently shopping for a good A/D converter for a ...

[quote user="coops"]Romy Hi sorry to have wandered off topic, I am listening at the moment to an MSB Platinum Dac III, hoiping to get the lavry back for comparison, I believe the MSB is multi bit based on a ladder resistor , with 4 24 bit DAc 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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If you do not have the same effect as reel tape of 15ips played at 9ips then your software is not truly slaved by Pacific/ AFI1 chain.[/quote]Yes, I totally agree.And I can indeed replicate this effect... but only with my R...

I got one of those Reference Recordings 176KHz files to try. Everyone so go rave about them…
I did not truly pursuit them before as whatever they have interesting musically was released before – how much you can listen the same 5 disks even i...

The last year there was some chatter up about artificially created so called “digital drugs”. If you are not familiar with it get familiar here for instance:

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Lynx has internal dabbler that activated as soon dual-wire inputs activated. So, when Pacific outputs in dual-wire configuration a half of the sampling speed then is done in accordance to the dual-wire specification.[/quote...

I am trying to find out where I picking up .5dB, I have no idea at this point where. The recording is made from tape loop of my preams into Pacific Microsonics. The meter of Pacific show that at the very loudest peaks the signal stay at minus .15...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]First I was wondering why the Berkeley Boys who were in there did not run their new converter but used the 10 years old Pacific DAC?[/quote]It's interesting that no one on AA seems to have picked up on this fact!If I were f...

Interesting that the Pacific unit uses somewhat different words and presumably somewhat different means to achieve such similar ends. This does seem to suggest that the in-common "smart algorithm" is a contributor here.This "of a piece" quality...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I find it very covenant to run analog source and then be able to switch the source signal passing across Pacific A/D-D/A where both D/A and DAW run from the same Pacific’s A/D clock. In fact it is so convenient that I asked...
|

Romy,I've wanted to do this comparison for a while now. Apart from just not having the time recently, the biggest obstacle has been not being able to use the Pacific in Master mode above 96KHz. As you know, it will only output a clock at 1x/2x 44...

There was one of those PC Audio demo show in CA. The AA guy, John Swenson, when there, posted his comments

Which is just one line in, not multiple lines in. Also the have changed the 24/176 to 24/192
