[quote user="drdna"]It is funny since they are identical digitally recorded tracks you would think they are the same. I would very much be interested to know if the binary code is identical or not for the two tracks. [/quote]Drdna,Do not even s...

Though my new updated Bidat is too fresh but considering that I know very well how the Nichicon KZ progress with sound I think I can make some preliminary observations about the revised sound of my Bidat.
The change was not a large, less than I expe...

[quote user="Telstar"] Out of curiosity, how much does a Bidat costs nowadays and the Wright mods?[/quote]
This is very interesting question and I had a conversation with John Wright about it a few days ago. He asked me the same question: what the B...

I did today my first recording with Model 2. The configuration-wise it was very cool. The Pacific now in single-wire mode while it does A/B to 88/24 and the clock also outputs 88K. The single-wire mode is the reason why I moved from the Model One...

Coops, I am sure you find you find you typical single-sentence comment was very informative and containing a lot of expressed intentions. Anyway, to the others. I have a feeling that there is a huge misleading with all this multi-interface DACS. Of c...

I do not know how this pacific devise I am bit prejudicial about all of those in-line re-clocking devises. I have seen tone of them in past and all of them were incredible crap. Well, if one has a bad performing playback with objectively shitty (ev...

Yes, Lavry released a successor or his Lavry Gold 924 DAC. The Lavry Gold DA-N5 Quintessence is up to 4X sapling tat and has a number of other bells and whistles. Interesting to have it from Dan Lavry - from the person who was for year advocating mod...

Romy, you may recall that I observed a similar phenomenon: "What I've noticed in the past is an HF 'halo' around instruments and voices which is absent in Master mode. It's not unpleasant, but I find it distracting. As a result, Master mode certainly...

Well, I have to admit that the stupendous sensitivity that Sansui TU-1X have after the Stereo Surgeons tune up to use the TU-1X is kind of complicated. With 0.8mkV this tuner picks the noise that my DACs radiate. I staffed all wholes of the Sansui’s ...

The most interning in Larvy writing was the article about Optimal
Sample Rate. Dan Lavry begin to advance this subject in his post at various
audio boards from I think 2008 and then in 2012 he convert it into his “papers”

Jeremy, another few lead that I think might conceder.
Manly Labs has their 20-bit digital to analogue converter that uses the Pacific Microsonics processor inside. I was told that is available as the “street price” for ~$6K-$7K and it might be a “f...

Doing some further thinking by my mind that has “little understanding about the technology” I would like to share another concern that for my little mind does make since.
According to Mr. Donahue comments above playing the BSO files with a pos...

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...

Rony,
Actually I did try to drive Melquiades from different source. My old tube buffer, my phonostage and any other not DC-coupled source were not able to drive it. The 6-ch Melquiades is pain in as to drive. It has around 5K input impedance ...

Thylantyr,
Yes, you have a point. It might be something fishy is going on in there and I have thought about it too. Still, I do not really see in Costa’s actions any rational for perpetrating the intentionally fraudulent tests. Yes, his Metaxa...

[quote user="mem916"] I miss-understood. I did not realize you were able to play my file in "natural 96K". Since I am not able to play your file in "natural 88.2" I needed to make another recording before I can really compare yours to mine since my...

Since I have finalized what kind of digital gear I will be staying with and how I will be using it I decided to figure out something what always was the source of total mystery for my – how to use sampling clocks with my digital gear. My DAW, Pacific...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Sorry for being so nasty, Romy,but I meant connecting the CEC TLO with the Lavry 924 via the dCS 974.[/quote]
I do not see you being nasty, where did you get this from?
May I ask you- what you proposed to drive CEC TLO into dCS ...

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...

Hi Currawong, thanks for sharing your experiences.My own computer playback journey goes back some 9-10 years ago when I started using a MOTU 896HD to interface a PC to my then Esoteric D70 DAC. And in the passing time the one thing I've learned about...

These are a bunch of test files someone did to compare convertors, just pro-audio stuff. I found the link on GearSpace (former GearSlutz) sometime ago, and I don't remember which were the others electronics involved, except (IIRC) everything was ...

Well, I do not think that I would be able to recode it to CD witch appropriate level of quality but it would be interesting to be able to load it to hard drive and to see if FM level sound still might survive on HD. Also I would be able to writhe a f...
