| Which High Res releases are worth buying? I have found the MA Recordings HiRez DVD-ROM titles to be of true reference quality. I'm a jazz fan and really like the release of Mathias Landaeus Trio's - Opening. It's stunning how it seemingly transports you to the recording studio. Other rele... | |
| Backing Up My Ex HD Problems.... Sorry, but I just noticed in your system link that you're a Mac user. Btw, you have a very nice system! Unfortunately the SyncBack software that I linked to above is only for PCs. I'm sure you can find some similar backup software for the Mac, but... | |
| Backing Up My Ex HD Problems.... It seems likely that Albertporter's assessment is correct, and that you may have created multiple copies of your Music folder that are exhausting the available space on your WD drive. I'd also suggest formatting the WD and then using backup softwa... | |
| Hi- Res download newbie Dan, there are many choices for software that will perform file format conversions and also to burn hi-res files to DVD. Just remember that the PWT is pretty fussy when it comes to playing burned DVDs, as they must be burned as data discs in the U... | |
| Esoteric's G-03x Master Clock Generator Hermanz3, I would suggest first contacting Esoteric directly to find out whether the G-03X clock would actually offer an improvement to the K-01's internal clock circuit. They have the clock specs for every one of their products and it is therefor... | |
| ImportCDs How did you end up getting a hold of them - email or phone? Glad that it got resolved for you and I hope that my contact info helped. I have received multiple orders from them with very prompt service and no issues. | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport Discussions about various firmware releases affecting the sonics are all about updates to the bridge firmware and not the DAC's. The PWD firmware updates have addressed several issues unrelated to sound quality, but some of the issues addressed in... | |
| ImportCDs If you'd like to try to reach them by phone, I found their location from their Amazon listing and they have a website with full contact information including toll free phone numbers. Their company's website contact information page is: http://www.... | |
| "Spitting" Cartridge problem I'd again suggest trying my first idea of switching the right and left cartridge connections to see if the noise switches to the other channel. This will allow you to definitively know whether the problem is with the cartridge or something further... | |
| "Spitting" Cartridge problem Paul, if you're going to use a needle nose pliers to tighten the cartridge clips here's a tip that I'd suggest. Insert a wooden toothpick into the end of the clip before attempting to tighten it. The toothpick will prevent you from possibly breaki... | |
| "Spitting" Cartridge problem I would suggest switching the right and left tonearm clip connections to the cartridge. If the distortion switches to the left channel then you will have confirmed that the problem is either with the cartridge itself or its setup causing distortio... | |
| Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design I have read that there are sonic changes apparent with some of their recent firmware updates for the bridge, but I'm not sure what they are due to. PS Audio would be the best source for a definitive answer to this question. Sorry that I can't be o... | |
| Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design The selectable filters in the PerfectWave DAC are part of the Wolfson DAC chipset being utilized. While the PWD's firmware can indeed be upgraded over time, I don't believe that the digital filter's algorithms can be changed by the firmware. | |
| Exact power.....hookup question OK, if Nsgarch says it's a no-no then I yield to his experience and expertise. My recommendation was based on the manufacturer's own guidance which was provided in their documentation. Just as a point of interest Exact Power did manufacture a 20 a... | |
| Exact power.....hookup question They generally recommend plugging the SP-15 into the EP-15 so that the balanced transformers of the SP benefit from the regulated power of the EP-15. Then you should connect all of your low power components (digital, preamp, etc.) to the SP outlet... |
