Well, this is a big subject.
Kind of. For sure a better DAC produce better sound. How much a better DAC shall
cost? That is a complicated topic that has absolutely no relation to how the
DAC sound. I remember a dealer that I know pick up a new spe...

I am sure that recording might be implemented by different means - as long as you feel that you do not lose the quality that FM offers then any means are good.[/quote]Today I set-up FM tuner -> ADC -> DACs -> am...

I am not well familiar with what Berkeley. Their voyage to the beginnings unit that the company started was irrelevant to me and then thinner USB version did not attract my attention. It is not that I feel that they were bad units. I never had th...

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...

Dear de charlus,I think AMR CD77 is a valid candidate for you. I haven't heard this CD player but I own AMR PH77 phono which is special. Romy knows it's designer very well you can ask his idea also.Regards,Armen...

Mani, interest in using Pacific as the only all-time on DAC revised my interest in pacific D/A converter section. I consider it as a great 16bit DAC and very good 24Bit DAC. The reason I did not elevate in my appraisal Pacific DAC to great status...

[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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]From what you describe I can conclude that your DAC is not good. You said you use DIY wireless DAC with tube output. I do not know what wireless mean in this context, but it is not important. I also know do not like any tub...

As you know currently there are two opposite camps regarding digital sound reproduction: one is the non oversampling filterless camp, the other is the over- and upsampling + filter camp. There are as many followers of the NO as the over- and upsampli...

Thanks Joaco feedback is important all one can do is to research and find the best unit for ones budget. It is very difficult to do comparisons so this is where sites such as this are useful. Im going to try and find a dealer who can let me try the W...

[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...

[quote user="xandcg"]I don't know if you was being
sarcastic on that quote but Lampizator does the DSD conversion in a R2R way,
using a power tube instead of a DAC chip.[/quote]I am not sarcastic and the "review" above does not

Hello,
A Singaporean company came out, apparently since a while, with some perhaps interesting discrete R-2R DACs. The top of the line is the Denafrips Terminator Plus which apparently cost <9000 USD.

[quote user="de charlus"]You know, the more I look at the parts and construction of these things, the more impressed I am, for the price. I do like the look of that rubidium master clock too, again at an impressive price.[/quote] Yes, the Antelope lo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][Lavry] now is 25 years older and shall be 25 years more cynical <...> When he made his Gold 924 he trumpeted his define al, over the world and there was a reason for it - it WAS great design. Now with new DAC one wo...

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...

New review by the computer audiophile at http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/599-berkeley-audio-design-alpha-dac-reference-series-review/The review is what it is. There is a lot of history behind the company and it appears to be a site sponsor....

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 ...

Keith,
it is not the thread about Lavry Gold DAC I would rather to hear from people who have experience with other Multibits, perhaps with many Multibits, and who would be able to generalize their observation about Multibits vs. anything else. I kn...

Peter, I got a feedback from Dan. You were right it looks like Dan do smudges to reboot the DAC occasionally despite that it does in run-time recalibration: "I would recommend turning the power off for a minute or more, at least every few month. That...

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 dealing with my tuner pick digital noise from my AD and DA, and particularly from Lavry DAC, I loaded Lavry with quite substantial amount of ferrite anti-RF filters:

Since it's always hard to guage situational significance by the presence or absence of fanfare, and since I know squat about digital, I was wondering if anyone better educated than I (ie, anyone) happened to see the iPOD "dock" review in the Oct...
