audio mirror dac

Tom,

What are you using as an output from your computer HD to the D1? I just bought a Red Wine Audio USB Select based on the M-Transit. I'm having Vinnie modify it so it doesn't have an analog stage or analog outputs. Just the USB and a BNC/RCA digital coaxial cable to feed the DAC or my Alesis ML9600. Also, what type or computer and are you using an external HD or server? Is Foobar good to use as well? Thanks

Jman66,

100 hours or so burn-in, but it will sound pretty good out of the box. Mine is on 300 hours now and is sounding unreal. I am definitely getting another one. Let me know how the pre-amp sounds.

What digital cable and PC are you settling on?

Clio09 - I'll be using a Ridge Steet Audio Poiema!! Digital Master. Vlad is going to put a BNC on for me instead of the RCA. For a powercord, I have a couple of choices: Signal Cable HC Digital, TG Audio SLVR or a VH Audio Flavor 4.
Transports I'll try out will be a Levinson No.37 and a McCormack Digital Drive
SST-1. Should be interesting...

How do you think the Sony XA777ES (superclock II modded by modwright) would be with the DAC?

Rob

Jman66,

Try the Flavor 4, I think you'll like it. If not, send it back during the trial period. Chris used his cable cooker to burn mine in so it was ready to go.

Seems RidgeStreet is having a sale, I have the VH Audio Pulsar, but I'd like to try something else.

Good luck.
