| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... phd, You made a statement of fact,what we do know is that power cords can and do have a big impact on sound All I was saying is this is an opinion "we" don't know any thing of the kind. If this statement is true then the reason for it is measura... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... and his posts make no sense.Figured out how to do those measurements yet? | |
| Do the best audio designers put their ears before the numbers. I guess it would depend on the goal. If the goal of building an amplifier lies along the same lines as Peter Walker where "the perfect amplifier is a straight wire with gain" then I would think measurements would be more important since we can mea... | |
| RCA cable design The signal ground using single end connectors is the whole chassis. The signal is the varying voltage in the center wire the ground is the reference. Not sure what you mean by how good is the quality of wire. Copper is good for conductivity and g... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? Twisted cables tend to have higher capacitance but lower inductance on average. It's a trade off so there is no perfect solution. This isn't relevant to speaker wire used at home. The main thing is resistance as long as that's kept to less than ... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... what we do know is that power cords can and do have a big impact on sound We know nothing of the sort. IF power cords affect sound then whatever causes this is measurable. There is no escaping this , this is actually something we do know. | |
| Musings from old school on High Fidelity Words have definitions, if we can’t agree on what words mean then communication breaks down. HIGH FIDELITY noun Electronics.sound reproduction over the full range of audible frequencies with very little distortion of the original signal.Ideally, h... | |
| HDMI i2s Cable There is no I2S cable just cables utilized to carry I2S. It can be HDMI cable, ethernet cables even 4 digital coax cables. As long as the pins on the components are set the same a HDMI cable can be used. I’m not sure about the two devices he’s try... | |
| HDMI i2s Cable HDMI is not the same as I2S. You can't use any of those cables ^^^ | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? What DAC do you use, most newer ones with asynchronous USB already reclock. | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? Huh just looking up deezer it doesn't use Wasapi or ASIO? Strange. | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? You wanted functionality with a myriad of streaming services, I just use Quboz and local stored files. Linux on the box and control apps on my tablet suit me. | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? I don't use windows. | |
| Does Anyone Currently Make an Ethernet to I2S Renderer? Yes it can be done and is being done. The advantage was it could do higher PCM and DSD rates but USB has caught up except for the highest DSD but that’s getting closer. I think that's why very few are jumping on the I2S bandwagon. https://www.thes... | |
| If you had to pick a laptop or mini-PC, which one? You've been using a computer does it sound bad or noisy? |
