| Chord Hugo ? In shore - One of the common comments on the Hugo is that 16/44 sounds extremely good. Rob Watts, the designer, has said that as his algorithms evolve the difference between 16/44 and higher rez gets less and less. With Hugo he thinks 16/44 and 24... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 Alex - so a Schitt Loki is better than any PCM DAC :) I wish it were so. It would save us all a lot of money. Even for a product like the Ayre, some people like the PCM better than the DSD. Different strokes for different folks. For example, I can... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 Alex - the usb on the Korg is only used to transfer files. As long as it does that, and it does that fine, I don't see any issue with it being certified. To transfer files I just go into usb mode and move the files onto the PC with Explorer. Easie... | |
| Chord Hugo ? In-show - I would not dismiss the Head HiFi discussion because it is long and the one here because of RGS92's and other's comments. The large number of posts on Head HiFi are largely about hole sizes, cables, and portable players. The ones about t... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 I looked at the Tascam and decided not to get it partially because of the small disk issue. I got a Korg MR-2000 instead. Unfortunately, they are only available used. I write to the internal drive on the Korg and then connect the Korg to a PC via ... | |
| Esoteric CO3 preamp vs Mark Levinson 326s I have a Levinson 432 amp and Sonus Faber Cremona speakers. I had a Classe 65 preamp and wanted to upgrade. It had a slight amount of digital harshness in the treble. I tried a 326 and the sound was pleasant but had no pizazz. I also think of Levi... | |
| Need advice for HT LCR and HT Processor Upgrade Just to add to the Thiel discussion, I use 1.6s and a SCS4 for a center and am very happy with them. You can certainly do that on your budget, although the speakers can be hard to find used. My one caution would be that the Pioneer may be somewhat... | |
| Proceed PAV as a two channel preamp.. I would be leery of a seller who came to your house and would not let you listen. Sounds like he may be hiding something. It is one thing to buy by mail. But, when someone comes to your door, you should get 20 minutes to hook it up and test it. Al... | |
| Totem Hawks tweeter dimple or damage It is probably simply a dimple in the dust cover that covers the actual tweeter. If that is the case, the dimple will probably have little or no effect. You can sometimes suck the dimple out with a dust buster or a vacuum cleaner. Or try putting t... | |
| Revel F208s vs Cremona M vs B&W 803/804 D Most of the SF speakers from overseas come from Eastern Europe, mostly Poland. I would not trust those. They have low ball prices, but are very risky. If you order from a reputable sealer overseas, realize that the shipping will be costly and you ... | |
| Chord Hugo ? Rgs92 - I did not know the 3.0 micro did not fit. I assumed 2.0 and 3.0 were the same size. Thanks for the tip. | |
| ATI 2007 or ATI 1807 Congratulations! I really think ATI should be better known. Excellent amps. Also heard good things about the Yamaha. Enjoy :) | |
| Chord Hugo ? Rgs92 - thanks for the observations. FYI - you can get a micro usb Carbon cable so you do not have to use the adapter. | |
| Chord Hugo ? Winson - I do not expect the Qute format for quite some time. The next product seems to be a QBD type product, but I am not sure it will have more taps. Depends on the chip maker.As Ghasley says, the number of people who think Hugo is thin is pret... | |
| Chord Hugo ? The Hugo does both 64 and 128 DSD and by most reports it sounds very good. For those interested, it does convert DSD to PCM. It needs to do that because of how it implements volume and headphone crossfeed. Rob Woods has explained this is detail on... |
