| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter The sony blu ray players are an okay transport for digital coax s/pdif, but they are certainly not the best. To be honest, most of the bluray players out there are not the best S/PDIF transport. If you want a really good player/transport for bot... | |
| Convert 3-pin to 4-pin XLR? Headphone amps that have balanced outputs for fully balanced headphone typically use 4-pin XLR connectors for the headphone cable itself. This is a headphone output socket. | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Ah, one thing that the Merason POW1 linear power supply has that all other generic external linear power supplies do not are 3 different power supplies internally. The POW1 connection cable is actually a special 5-pin DIN cable. It has power sup... | |
| Which amp would you choose for a JBL 4367 setup? One good thing about the Kinki EX-M1 is that the unit has the input stage op-amps mounted in sockets, so you can play around with swapping different op amps to change the "voice" of the amp just like a tube amp. You can get some really nice Burson... | |
| Parts for an Arcam DV 139? Many CD/DVD player vendors used standard disc trays for their product (such as a Phillips dvd tray unit). If you are able to pull the tray out of your case, you might be able to find a manufacture name and part number. It -might- be possible to ... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Okay. I looked it over. Yes, I think the Ferot can definitely be a budget level DAC that sounds really good. Here is why. The Ferot uses an old schoool Burr-Brown 1794 DAC chip. It is extremely easy to engineer a DAC that sounds good with these ch... | |
| Audioquest speaker cables tomic604 stated this: Yes the AQ can and should be two sets of cables, so no concern about awg. I believe he is recommending using two sets of speaker cable for speakers that have 4 binding posts. You can definitely connect multiple speaker w... | |
| Audioquest speaker cables So they use a different AWG with the bi-wire option? The William Tell zero is 13 awg. Most Audioquest speaker wire are comprised of 4 wires for RED+ and 4 wires for BLACK- (the low end products such as Rocket 33 use 3 wires or 2 wires for each... | |
| Audioquest speaker cables I would not use a Audioquest bi-wire speaker cable. Their cables are excellent design, but they are normally just 13awg or close to 12awg cables. When you do the bi-wire option, you are just splitting that into a 14.5awg + 15.5awg cable. I wou... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The DPLL setting tells the LKS how long to examine the pulse timing on the digital inputs (spdif/usb). The lower DPLL numbers will result in higher resolution and higher sound quality, but your digital transport/source that connects to the LKS be... | |
| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter The USB interface is a data packet interface. Granted, you can improve music quality if you put in a better usb transmitter/source device. However, the receiving dac is going to have to un-wrap that usb data packet to get the actualy music file da... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? Putting $435 linear power supply into a $600 streamer is definitely a cost effective bang for the buck. The performance is definitely an improvement. If you look at all the music servers vendors, they will have a significant price difference bet... | |
| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter Generally, a usb-to-spdif converter is good for two scenarios: 1. you have a really bad usb source (like a computer or, especially, a laptop) where there is a not of noise, power supply is not good or the source usb transmit clock is not good. I... | |
| I’m looking for an Digital XLR cable I cannot comment on Clarus products because I have never used them. I will say that many cable manufacturers will create a "standard" way of making their cables and then do this for all types of cables (analog interconnect, speaker, power cord, d... | |
| I’m looking for an Digital XLR cable I have done a whole lot of R&D and testing for creating my own ASE/EBU XLR digital cable. One thing to note here is that a cable composition that works great for analog audio does NOT translate over to good performance of digital. The XLR co... |
