| The best speaker you ever heard? Infinity IRS Omega, the last of the fame. Heavily upgraded (new Auricaps, coils, DH Labs cables etc...), I own it and I think I may be the only on in the states with a pair, as it was only marketed in EU and Japan. | |
| amp for infiinity kappa 9 I hope you got a really big amp by now.Sorry to tell you this, but even your first amps hould have been able to drive those without frying. (Not nicely and not easily.)Your 800 ebay deals most likley have a bad coil or perhap a few fried resistors... | |
| Denon 2910 HDMI output HDMI is PCM only no support for DSD. | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing If an when you got an upsamiling player do you know what the actual upsampled rate is? Is it 192khz or 176, none of you listed it. I know of one product that has upsampling and it goes to 192 and it does sound different, but not better. Just looki... | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? Oh boy. ADAT, Pro TOols all the evil tools for sound.Yes I agree, unfortunatley this is the case, especially lately. Almost all pop records and even some jazz now are produced on ProTools, the worst sounding PCM gear, but also the tool that allows... | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? Eldart,.You are so in in theaory, but it is exactly the timing that makes it so bad. Let me explain.There are no PCM mixing solutions out there that have proper "delay managment", meaning that all inputs arrive at the output different times depend... | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? For PCM sourced DSD stuff, listen to Peter Gabriel So. Or Sting. None of them have the "emotinal" levels of analog sourced or pure DSD. They sound clean as any record can, but they don't make me purr. | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? Listen to the new John Coltrane blue note reissue!I mean a 40 years old recordin! It sounds insane good!Eldartford! you are wrong on most being mixed digitally!The matter of fact is the the process mostly involves a PCM workstation of some sort fo... | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? Correction, to be fair. The sony worksation was never for sale. Sadie is realy the only true DSD workstation.There is also DXD from Merging, but it is essentially 384khz PCM NOT dsd. | |
| Marantz 9500 Have you had a chance to play with your 8400 and 9500 at the same time? What assoicated gear do you have? | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? Eldart, You would be surprised to find out how many music (and mastering) studios did NOT rush out and by PCM gear! Analog is pretty ok.Most music studios today will still mix on an analog desk, SSL or NEVE, and sourcre from PCM or analog.There is... | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty As for digital connections.Once again no point in waiting. There is no uncertainty, Not because we have something that works, but because chances are we never will. Unless the SONY SuperMAC interface (48ch (dsd or pcm), proper clock and control ov... | |
| Universal Players that do not convert DSD to PCM? Marantz Dv9500 (has a switch). | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty No matter what, you can't talk about it unless you experience it. So to wait for a player or software that would make you change your mind is kind of counterproductive in this form of talk.When I hear "It would be a mistake to buy into a new forma... | |
| Preamps: Bryston vs Classe Glai!Don't generalize the "Classe sound".The CAM and CAV series amps in general are a bit rolled off on the top, but their pres and pre pros (I have an SSP 75) are as clean and bright as the sun!In the matter of fact the SSP75 driving my rig compa... |
