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...

Neil Young and Meridian are launching yet another digital "high resolution" business:http://evolver.fm/2013/08/13/neil-youngs-pono-ecosystem-will-put-a-freemium-on-sound-quality/So one could choose either.(1) a (maybe) higher resolution file using th...

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...

Since Pacific lost it’s battle to Lavry AD122 as AD converter I was wondering what I might do with this possessor. My initials sentiment was to sell but Pacific to my large surprise turned out to be a very good CD-level DAC. In fact it is so good 16B...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Jim, do I know you?
I ask because I know one Jim near Boston who has Lavry DAC and who has the new Thorsten's Abbingdon Music Research. The Thorsten's DAC should be Multibit as. It might be very interesting and I assure yo...

Thanks guys. It's interesting to hear such perspectives, especially upon computer audio; to go by the "audiophile press", high-res computer files are the best thing since that proverbial sliced bread - just like DVDAudio, HDCD, SACD etc were - so muc...

Yes, sure we can do the experiment, and in fact I too am curious (stayed up until way too late looking for an appropriate recording...) ; it will however only be a test of the "file ripping performance" of iTunes via my Mac and it's associated extern...

Jessie, I have two comments/questions.
Are you sure that using the USB you do not use the sound card? I am a software guy not a hardware guy and with my limited understanding I presume that an application that reads a file must talk to so kind of dr...

Well, I think the in this inquiry would be the use of CEC TLOX transport. If you do putting together a system from the ground up then it is arguable if it makes sense to commit yourself with CEC TLOX. This transport is from the last century and i...

Keith,I am sorry, man, but you are so incredibly predictable! Your accents on the assessments of sonic attributes of audio elements are so banal and so “wiling” that is it almost boring. I this giving case, knowing something about the Stahl-Tek...

Maybe.But the problem is that I love the sound of my (old) D70 dac! A bit dry, yes, but it sounds fundamentally 'correct'.When I find a USB dac with HDCD capability, true multibit converters (preferably BB 1704s) and an ability to...

The original Odyssey PC625 battery I used for my DAC finally crapped out, a couple of months ago. This means it worked when I wanted it to for 12 1/2 years. Not bad, I think, and this even though it mostly just sat there, doing nothing, since I usual...

From the link belowhttp://www.lavryengineering.com/lavry_forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3919it looks like the new Lavry DAC is a completely new design. For sure they do not want to talk about it and it might be not a good sigh. The Lavry DA924 was som...

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...

KOTriode, I was not criticizing your DAC, whatever it is. I was saying that system-design-wise if your preamp was able to inflict such a dramatic change in Sound then in my view it just highlighted the problem with DAC. Take another DAC, or any comme...

Hm, interesting. The problem might be in ADC, I/O cared, Recorder or DAC. When you do the experiment do you record the file? If so then you might plug ADC directly into DAC. Might your problem be with cloaking? I do know what erumpent you use but can...
