| Bitstream? Or Jittery, Polluted, Kernel Stream? If you can control the volume using windows volume control, then I recommend bypassing the windows kmixer. See other threads on this or shoot me an email. Bypassing kmixer will improve your sound. Give your dac an untainted bitstream and let do it... | |
| arc cd 7 vs wavelength crimson I believe Quintessence Audio in IL is also a dealer for both. | |
| Soundsmith Straingauge Thanks, Win. Have you (or any other Agoners) heard the preamp section directly into an amp?Regards,Chris | |
| What's your profession? Age? 38. Patent attorney, former electrical engineer. Started my system around 4 years ago. First piece of gear was a REL Stadium 3 sub that my wife bought for my birthday -- little did she know what she was starting... | |
| Best tube amp for Wilson Watt/Puppy Atma-sphere - John Giolas, Wilson's national sales manager, used MA-1s on his WP7s. Not familiar with Cary or Melody. | |
| Longest continuous playing songs Beethoven's 9th -- there used to be a rumor that the maximum capacity of CDs was picked so that all of Beethoven's 9th could fit on 1 CD. Also, many operas are several hours long -- ever fallen asleep during a Wagner performance, awoken a half-hou... | |
| Digital Audio Denmark DACs Thanks, Carlos. This was very helpful. I'll check out the DAD. | |

| Why negative reviews on USB with newer USB DACs? I agree with gmood1. Also not all usb implementations are created equal and not all dacs are created equal.I used to use an Emmlabs CDSD transport and DCC2 dac. My PC->USB->Empirical Audio Turbo-2->DCC2 produced the same result. The sound... | |
| Digital Convergence/Comments on Retail Good for you! Where were you two years ago? Sounds like you already have a roadmap. I like that you'll have an in-store system. If you let customers demo at home, even better.The hard part is getting a PC source feeding a DAC to sound as good or b... | |
| High-current tube amps Thanks for the responses. Very informative as always, Atmasphere. I look forward to listening to some of these amps. | |
| High end processors with HDMI 1.3a Unless your DVD or Blu-ray player already has the Realta chip, then you're already set. | |
| High end processors with HDMI 1.3a What do you mean by "high end processor"? High end video or audio? The pricier Denon receivers have 1.3a as well as the Realta chip. I doubt anyone (except Faroudja) would argue there's a better video processor. If you're looking for the best vide... |
