Such measurements give us ample information regarding the technical parameters of these machines, and if one is seeking to determine preeminence thus, then what you propose is not without merit. However, near-perfection in terms of measurable paramet...

Without completely understanding the post, I listened to all the samples (which by the way, will play immediately without doing anything if you have a mac...oops!). I first ran the files through my main system (there is a laptop + DAC associated with...

In fact am not only planning to try an electrolytic capacitor as the LF Milq’s coupling (if I found one with low linkage capacitance) but I would also planning to try the “my proprietary” cooked capacitors. I have to admit that it sounds very s...

[quote user="rowuk"]The whole idea of an earth wire is a path to ground if something fails in the unit. In most countries the (metal) case is attached to this pin on the power connector.It is incredibly stupid (and in many countries illegal) to lift ...

The system starts as a commercial multi voltage smps unit, 48 volt output from Meanwell.I place this in a box because I have to equip the unit with a multiple pole filter card.The output is fixed, 300 watts and connected to a dc filter board equi...

Amir, here is a link to "the same" (same appearance, "specs" and information) SPDIF cable I got years ago (for maybe $200). It replaced the Belkin Synapse after the last round of "factory upgrades" to my iDAT DAC. Prior to those DAC "upgrades", I pr...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] A few things that juts comes to might mind regarding the Cosecant. Gordon says that it is a Passive Multibit DAC with a single Shinko Tantulum resistor “because only a resistor can be a linear device over the entire audio ...

i checked out this product from your link(thanks).for digital inputs they show aes,spdif,toslink and bada,which i understand is for use with the rr hrx 24/176?.also there is no clear indication that the attenuation is achieved in the digital domain.t...

[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="jtavan"]I don't know of that many motherboards with on-board SPDIF _input_, most just have output (and not terribly good output at that). The AES16 and the L22 are within $50 of each other, with the AES16 usually being cheaper.The logic ...

Interesting, mats.The unit is not “complex device with many settings”. All those settings have own meaning and if you know how a tuner works then there is absolutely nothing menacing in those adjustments. You went for R...

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...

A 192 24 bit capable DAC and a little dedicated Linux PC to play the stuff... Apparently I spit out whatever the recording is recorded in frequency & bit wise and this DAC does whatever to make something approaching analogue.So it's err... bette...

I know, I know some of you clicked this thread in anticipation that I will reveal a new “secretive” CD transport that Sounds great. I wish I might... What this thread all about is about application of a common sense to the subject of digital transpo...

The first goal is the best sound possible, taking every advantage to get it. Since the [crappy] [wall] power source is such a big factor in the sound we get from hi-fi, I could see designing line-level stages for use with batteries as a possible...

[quote user="steverino"]I am no expert on digital although I certainly read a lot on DSD and DVD-A back in the day. However, once you use the standard D/A chip as lampizator acknowledges, you are at the point of a tweaker for the rest. It is like a s...

Alrhough the phasure stuff does sound very good, I do not consider it to be “the bleeding edge”. I consider a preamp allergy to be very typical of those “making a point” for instance! Declaring that only 0.6V sounds good on the DAC demonstrates yet m...

Yes, maybe the 120 db/octave is THE trick for complex multi-ways systems of highest resolution, yet this barbaric:-) slope can ONLY be achieved by digital domain crossovering... unfortunately, as a satisfied user of TacT RCS 2.2 XP AAA room-corrector...

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...

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...
