| Ethernet Cables I just bought their Vodka Cable. I’m very happy with it. I used this link to set-up my DAC, internet switch and cables: Alpha Audio | |
| DAC recommendation for DSD input Try the Bricasti M21 DAC. It has multiple paths for conversion to analog including 1-bit DSD. Here is a link to the literature | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) I don’t sell a lot of items, but when I do it usually goes for 50% - 60% off MSRP. The selling price can be lower if the item is more than a couple of years old or modified. To sell quickly I include shipping and other fees in the selling price. ... | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 My suggestions in reply to your questions about my post are: 1) Leave the other cables in-place. No need to change them. 2) I decided not to go with fiber optic. It seems like Baaske MI1005/2005 devices do the same thing using a different meth... | |
| Streamer Recommendations I just bought an iFi Stream to use with Audirvana, a Bricasti DAC, and USB input. Works and sounds great. Fired-up first time when I pressed the on button, but I did watch setup videos. | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 Try adding a Baaske MI2005 or MI1005 to the ethernet cable to clean up the signal before going into the Bricasti. | |
| How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable @mahler123 I added the ifi Stream to use the USB input. Worked perfect first time. Thanks for the suggestion. So far, it seems DSD256 sounds better than DSD128 for classical and jazz music. | |
| How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable @devinplombier Yes. Mine has the MDX board. | |
| How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable @devinplombier - After checking with the manufacturer, it supports DSD256 over USB playing without down conversion on the M21 with the MDX board. I'm not going to use the dongle. Thanks for your feedback! | |
| How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. I didn't realize how complicated this is. I'm going to wait until after the holidays and take it up again. Kind regards, Alan | |
| How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable @vinylshadow - The files I'm going to try are from NativeDSD Music. They are "True DSD" recorded in 256 (unless from analogue tape) so no up sampling. @mahler123 - I looked at some. I just don't want another box in my music room or the process... | |
| How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable @audphile1 I download DSD128 files to my PC using NativeDSD Music. Before downloading, you can select the format. I want to try their DSD256 format. The DSD128 files sound pretty good, but I have to listen more to tell if there is a differenc... | |
| Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What? Try the JK Richards PS Audio DSD MKI upgrade for your DAC. It dramatically improved the sound of my MK1. @jkrichards | |
| Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why? Depreciation on used audio gear is worse than cars. Since there isn’t much competition for used gear, most buyers are in the market are trying to get it for as cheap as they can on these websites. It is better to trade in for new equipment unless ... | |
| Audirvana streaming I've had the same issue with the Bricasti M21, Audirvana and Qobuz. I don't know what causes it. Oddly enough, I live in TN (Memphis). I use the internal streamer via Ethernet, but no wireless. |
