| Controlling Levinson Amp via Ethernet Sounds like you are making connection, but somehow the protocol is not working. Just to be sure, are you connecting directly to the PC? If so, are you using a crossover Ethernet cable? Can you change the name of the device from the Status screen. ... | |
| Converting FLAC to WAV and keeping tags? Lupinethe3rd - their is a small but vocal group who steadfastly believes they hear a difference. Steve Nugent (Empirical Audio) is one of the leaders. It is kind of like arguing about power cables or various tweaks. Some people swear they hear a d... | |
| Who is Linn of New Hampshire The guy in the picture is David Linn and he is from New Hampshire. He has since moved to California and the company is now called Linn Audio Loudspeakers. He has gotten criticism for the company name, but it is his name so he uses it, although it ... | |
| Good Processor You need to determine if the old receiver digitizes the 5.1 analog and apply room correction, bass management etc. The Oppo can do the bass management, but I do not think it does the room correction. Most receivers do not do room correction on the... | |
| Poor sound from rental Blu-Ray discs I use an old Pioneer Elite Blu Ray player connected through coax to my Yamaha receiver to play Blu Rays. The sound is fine. It sounds better than a traditional DVD, since the Dolby Digital bit rate on the Blu Ray is higher than on DVDs. This is a ... | |
| Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC Thanks Kal. - I have heard that also, but I I also read someone who said the NAD had told him that they had no plans to do that. But, they also may just be willing to say anything publicly yet. There is a long thread on Head-Fi. Current plan is to... | |
| Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC One of my next tasks is to start converting some of my vinyl to DSD, so the Mytek is the obviously choice for a DAC. Glad you guys like it so much. I'll probably start doing the conversions before updating my DAC, but this discussion helps solidif... | |
| One reason why audio is suffering: Connectivity The connectivity you want in a single unit would be nice, but at present it would not be cheap to implement. You are starting to see some of this is AV receivers as they implement Airplay, for example. The manufacturers can do it in those devices ... | |
| Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC Thanks for the comparisons. So, to summarize without being too technical, the Mytek smokes the NAD. | |
| Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC Same question as Kclone. The NAD N51 and the Mytek are on my short list and a direct comparison would be useful, especially for non-DSD material. Thanks. | |
| Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H The 432 is somewhat laid back, so with a more forward 532H, the 326 might work well. I still like the idea of a tube preamp. The Cary opened up my system tremendously and for less money than the 326. | |
| Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H HK_Fan - thanks for the updates. Are you referring to the 532H or the 532? I have not heard either in my setup. | |
| Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H I use a Levinson 432 with my Cremona and very much like the combination. However, when paired with the 326, there is just too much of the laid back sound. It just gets dull. I have a Cary SLP-05 pre and it really perks up the sound. The Amati Futu... | |
| Cary SLP-05 Tube Rolling Understood. Most people seem to recommend changing the other 4 tubes and obviously if you are using single ended, like I am, that is the only choice. With all those tubes, did you try rolling the other 4 also? | |
| Cary SLP-05 Tube Rolling "Third position from the left", I believe is tubes 3 and 6. Those are the balanced input buffer tubes. Are you running in balanced and single-ended mode? If I remember correctly, the common recommendation is that if you are running single ended, t... |
