| Power supply poll for Chord Qutest Zerozone on alipay, Kingrex,or with more dosh Keces or Teddy Pardo. | |
| Why are my posts being removed. How about deleting this entire thread, then… | |
| New streamer ifi zen stream with a zerozone power supply on Alipay and keep the change. At $2500 the upgrade will not be significant whatever else you choose | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources @ltmandella If I am not mistaken, you are referring to a problem resulting from ‘capping’ peaks during digital recording leading to distortion during the DA conversion, i.e. not clipping although it resembles audibly. This seems to be yet another ... | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources @ltmandella : care to elaborate? Or point to relevant sources? Pls don’t make unsubstantiated assertions when posting. Thanks. | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources In my read a good DAC analogue stage may only need an additional preamp where switching to analogue sources is required. Absent that the pre adds distortion. thank you to @atmasphere and @erik_squires for explaining an obviously important issue t... | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources Here is @atmasphere on a different thread addressing my topic: “IMO Phillips and Sony made a stupid mistake when they set the Redbook spec to 2V output with digital gear, more than many amps need to overload. I think their reasoning must have bee... | |
| Ipad pro + Ethymotic Er4 SR, brilliant @soix you must be using an older ipad. The ipad pro has usb-c rather than lightning adapters and your part doesn‘t fit. | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources I am on InnuOS Sense feeding into the Antelope Zodiac Platinum DAC and believe I can only use the Sense imbedded attenuator. Any other suggestion? Many thanks for your help, much appreciated! BTW: this subject should find a wider audience. | |
| Analogue clipping from digital sources Thank you for this: I am using upsampling, clearly heard clipping like noise and the cure is to lower the output from the server. Learned something new! | |
| Ipad pro + Ethymotic Er4 SR, brilliant I am not using a dongle but just an adapter, no dac in there | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results If I am not mistaken, the analogue section of a DAC amplifies the decoded signal to max preamp level so that there are only two aspects that would warrant a separate preamp: a better analogue design capable of improving on the necessarily compromi... | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade @j_andrews two big add-ons: use a Pinkfaun Isolator into the Pulse and insert a Singxer UIP1 Pro with a decent 6V LPS berween Pulse and Dac; you‘ll be pleasantly surprised. | |
| Another post about a streamer upgrade You are right on focussing on the user interface and InnuOS at your price point is the obvious choice | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results The key determinant here is the quality of the analogue section of the DAC. Given its output, the only part needed is the attenuator of the pre if absent in the DAC. Often DAC attenuators operate in the digital domain thereby losing bits at lower ... |
