| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 @prof , I apologize if this is wandering to far off topic but I was curious as to what amplifier you use with the Perspectives perhaps you've said but I missed it, and what they were using at the dealer with the Perspectives 2 ? | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Saying a R2R DAC somehow manages to more accurately convert PCM which was made with a Delta Sigma ADC than a Delta Sigma DAC doesn't make much sense. The topology of the DAC isn't that important what's important is how well it's implemented they... | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips R2R sounds more like vinyl with the rolled off high frequencies it's probably why you like them . | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Uh, yes most recordings are n PCM, what type of modulator do you think they use when they are making these recordings? For example what do you think a TI PCM Audio ADC uses? They use delta sigma modulators. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Since most studios use Delta Sigma ADC's to create PCM I'll guess the best way to convert it back is with Delta Sigma DAC's. The process used whether R2R, Delta Sigma, Proprietary doesn't matter as much as how well the DAC is at getting a nice q... | |
| Higher End DACs If the OP reads through those Novellas my hats off to him.🧢 | |
| Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback? Are the media files the same Flac or Wav on both the NAS and USB drive? Is the drive a small 2.5 device that is being powered by USB or does it have it's own power supply? I actually have a similar problem using my Node2i. Streaming from Tidal so... | |
| Any difference in SQ from USB drive storage to NAS playback? I can't see USB2 being a bottleneck for music. The average uncompressed music file is about 50- 60 MB, a CD is around 680 - 740 MBs, USB2 runs at 60MBs a second so if everything could process it, theoretically you could play an uncompressed song ... | |
| Is Parasound on to something? Or, How important is crossover management in preamps? Telling them you are using a sub and bookshelf speakers their answer makes sense they know the sub probably has a crossover, most all do so you don't really need it in the preamp. Manufacturers have different ways of looking at things PS Audio isn... | |
| Almost embarrassed to ask, but... The Oppo has a good dac what amplifier are you using? Does the Marantz have an amp or is it just the preamp processor? | |
| Higher End DACs Looking at what measurements I can find on the Bartok and Rossini I would be surprised if there would be very many people over 10 year olds who could tell a difference if they were blindfolded. I know I couldn't even sighted with my 63 year old ea... | |
| Is Parasound on to something? Or, How important is crossover management in preamps? I looked up your sub the Rel 328 and was wondering how do you connect it now? According to the manual you should use the speakon connector on the sub and connect to your amps speaker binding posts in which case you wouldn't use the preamp crossov... | |
| Do I really need a separate Roon Core (computer) to use Roon Software? You should be able to go into your router to find the least congested channels and choose one. | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? There is/ was a MA 252 here on Agon they were asking $3K not sure it's still for sale. | |
| Is Parasound on to something? Or, How important is crossover management in preamps? What did you think PS Audio Sales was going to tell you when you asked why they didn't have the features the Parasound did? If you use a sub with small monitors you need some way of sending the low frequency to the sub and the mid/ high to the mon... |
