| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? I found out that Abbas Audio sells a new DAC with the Analog Devices chip. He said he used to dislike it, but finally found a way to make it sound nice and non-fatiguing. It’s not expensive, but the reviews of his gear seem mixed. Not sure why, t... | |
| Sun Valley vs Sun Audio 300b @wgs57 thanks for the info:) | |
| Upgraded Power Supply for Eero 6E Router I upgraded my cable modem to a good LPSU and the results were very noticeable. Don't think theres any good option to upgrade power for a USB-C device. | |
| Any Experience with Furutech Unfiltered Power Distributors I think they're great value for the money. I don't use the rhodium products - the immediate impression is always "oh WOW" but over time, the tone is not natural to me. I buy gold ones and use NCF boosters or clear line. I don't prefer the filtered... | |
| Furutech Lan 8 NCF I used it and it's awesome. Like all Furu products, you need 300-400hrs burn-in due to their alpha cryo process. | |
| Is It Worh Modding An Amp @treepmeyer Ugh. I sent something to Ric once and he sent me back garbage. Horrible soldering, bad attitude and bad treatment of my materials. Avoid this turkey and learn to DIY. | |
| Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means? @whart Well this touches on why I am asking. If I look up most tube amp designs, PP, SE, and a variety of power tubes, the designs usually include the input stage: There is some twin triode doing some initial amplification usually, and discussions... | |
| Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means? @soix but what constitutes the "pre-amp"? Any kind of driver or input stage that increases the signal before the output amplification? And a variable resistor which modulates the grid of the input stage ie volume control pot. ? | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? Sensitivity is a measurement of steady noise or tones and seeing how loud it is at 1 meter away. Has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of sound. But higher sensitivity speakers are often made with quality audio in mind, and low sensitivi... | |
| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? @hasmarto Nice luxman | |
| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? @jmeyers Bricasti uses Analog Devices chips for CPU not conversion. I'm talking about Analog Devices NOS DAC chips like 1865. But I'm not an expert on them (yet). | |
| Recommend a DAC based on Analog Devices? @hasmarto This looks pretty interesting. But poor craftsmanship. Is it from China? It could be modded for sure. The AD1865 is what I am most curious about. I can't afford the Audio Note Fifth Element lol. | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" @cleeds That’s not even remotely true. Why are you trying to revise history? Here’s the Wikipedia entry on transatlantic cables. It looks historically accurate to me, and note it references reliable sources. You think the full history of ... | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" It may have been the telegraph. regardless, theres a whole documentary on it that discusses the huge research that went into cables at the time when they designed the transatlantic one, including the papers written by the scientists (the Maxwell g... | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" Interesting story : So when the first cable was laid under the Atlantic and people tried to make a transcontinental telephone call, the sound came out skewed in time, noisy and garbled. They checked the cable along the ocean floor and it was in p... |
