| The shams, scams and dead ends of the High Fidelity hobbie/passion/adiction I had an 8 track it took careful placing of the matchbook so two songs didn't play at the same time. | |
| Which good discrete R2R multibit DAC & why NOS ? @rost The R2R PCM1704 chip doesn't do the oversampling it's the K2 DSP and Nippon filters that pass the over/up sampled signal to them. R2R is the DAC architecture there is more going on in a good DAC or CD player. NOS is in some kind of nostalgi... | |
| Roon: everything you need to know Makes more sense 128G is a lot of memory. | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? I'll be sure to stay away from my wall warts with a portable transistor AM radio. I have a wall wart for a DVD player plugged in my panamax conditioner with my other stereo components never had a problem. Just use what comes with your DAC if you c... | |
| Roon: everything you need to know Wow you need 128GB or 64 GB of ram to run roon? I never realized it was that memory intense. | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? If not, buy a new DAC yours must be pretty old and junk since even cheap ones now have pretty good filters. In others words it's placebo. Good modern DACs work really well with whatever power supply they came with. | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? I've lived in 8 residences in the last 20 years and never had or heard any hum. I've never noticed it with wall warts or linear in amps. This thread is about DACs and if a linear would improve or is it placebo so whether you use linear, switched t... | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? LINEAR POWER SUPPLIES CAUSE HUMThe noise problem is due to the fact that linear power supplies have large transformers and other magnetic components that operate at the AC line frequency (50 Hz to 60 Hz). These line frequencies are audible, and we... | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? If you turn your system up with nothing playing and hear hum then you need to look for the culprit unless you're using tube amps sometimes they will have a small hum. Other than that a good DAC should filter any power supply noise out, nowadays ev... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Someone is always going to tell you how much better something that costs twice as much is. You've kinda bounced all over the place and had a lot of advice so here's my 2 cents concentrate on the speakers first and foremost those along with your r... | |
| Linear Power supplies for DACs...? SMPS can be better depends on who makes it and what it's in.THIS MYTH GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS:"Switching supplies are noisy.""Linear power supplies are best for audio."We disagree!About 5 years ago, Benchmark stopped putting linear power suppli... | |
| What do I need to start Streaming Music thru my Audio System How much you looking to spend, do you have an ethernet port close or is this going to be wifi? You could hook your laptop to your Wadia DAC by USB and try some free internet radio stations to get an idea but it will be low resolution files. If you... | |
| Higher End DACs I might be wrong but I believe ufguy73 was interested in streaming from the internet not from a server since he didn't have CDs to put on one. If you're going the server route then yes it can make a difference but streaming from the internet a ser... | |
| Selling on Audiogon @yogiboy I was trying to do a little marketing strategy by offering free shipping. | |
