| WAV or Apple Lossless Encoder? Way to go guys, you scared the sh#t out of Conedison8. That'll teach him. | |
| Question regarding DAC3 Standby What's a manual?My question would have been better phrased as why the thing needs to display anything 24/7 when you don't intend to use it. I owned a Benchmark DAC1 for some time and its standby setup was better implemented/thought out. Overall th... | |
| starting from scratch almost , need advice Best bet is to find a good integrated (I have an MF A5 integrated, but will be selling that once i get my hands on a tube integrated) and a good DAC that reclocks the computer usb signal before sending analog to the amp (i.e. a benchmark dac which... | |
| What are some thoughts on tributaries cables? Their older SCA version of cables are decent for the money. I have 3-4 pair I use on my HT setup and swap them into my 2 channel from time to time to reinforce my opinion that my other expensive RCAs were worth it.The SCA tributaries are silver on... | |
| How make my Ayre system "warmer"? Funny, I stumbled onto this post given I'm having the same problems. I'm in the same exact boat now as Tje. I just picked up a pair of Shunyata Andromeda speaker cables last week to try. I'm running all solid state (Benchmark Dac1 and a MF A5 inte... | |
| Apple versus PC Come on Drubin, get your OS nomenclature correct, otherwise NONE of us are going to get anything useful from this thread. :) | |
| 16 Bit vs. 24 Bit for Mac OSX It's redbook data. But both software (Itunes and Foobar) have the ability to convert to 24 bit before sending to the DAC. I'm fairly certain it's not volume control or any EQ settings, though I am exercising ITunes volume control when using the IP... | |
| 16 Bit vs. 24 Bit for Mac OSX To the first post, 24 bit and 16 bit make a difference. It did on my laptop using foobar and changing the foobar setting from 16 to 24 and back. It's subtle, but it's a definite difference in soundstage presentation (24 bit providing a wider, more... | |
| Should I get a new amp? I had an Outlaw 7100. Upgraded it to a Sunfire TGA5200, which still didn't do for 2 channel purpose, so bought a Musical Fidelity A5 integrated. Perfectly happy.I completely disagree with those saying you can't blend a home theater setup with 2 ch... | |
| Shunyata Diamondback vs. Other Shunyata PCs Very true about diminishing returns. Boils down to an addictive hobby to some (a very expensive addiction, once one clear's their head and realizes the money they spent...). | |
| Shunyata Diamondback vs. Other Shunyata PCs I'm suprised you found the difference between the Diamondback and the Taipan Helix to be so close, particularly on a source component, but good thats great considering the $ you save.I've found that most cords and the differences they make are def... | |
| Benchmark DAC-1, Lavry DA10, Altmann Attraction Couldnt agree more with the prior post about power cords and how they benefit the benchmark dac1. I went from a taipan helix to a python helix. Incredible the impact both cords made. | |
| Newbe PC audio The DAC1 USB will work more than fine. It can be a bit clinical depending on setup and what it's paired with, but handles jitter very well. Like most resolving gear, it reacts to power cords/ICs and reveals weaknesses elsewhere. | |
| ETHERNET DAC From everything I hear, the Mac Mini should work. My understanding is it's a full Mac less the monitor. I believe it has USB so you can run that to a USB DAC and use your TV for video. Better yet, just get an IPod touch and download the "Remote" a... | |
| iMac Users - Help No Output to System I'm not sure what the cryo-parts signal converter does, but if it's a DAC then you should be fine in that regard to at least get a signal, or does the Krell have an onboard DAC?Either case, you'll need to go into the "Audio MIDI Setup" application... |
